They have a page set up for free mp3 downloads, but it only appears to be a
"stub".  There's no real linkage there.

Haven't been able to find anything about the commercial site other than that
it should be up and running no later than March 30 2007 and that Amazon is
committed to selling DRM free music.

I have a friend who programs for Amazon.  Supposed to have lunch with him
this week.  I'll ask him if there's any rumors floating around.

Really excited about this, too!
