No hint at the prices yet, but it would be great to have a little competition to iTunes. (Yes, I know there are others...but...)

SEATTLE - The digital-music field may soon be getting a bit more crowded. Internet retailer Amazon.com reportedly is moving toward offering a digital-music service, putting it into competition with the likes of Apple Computer, Napster and RealNetworks.

The Wall Street Journal reports Amazon has held talks with record-label executives in the past two weeks about licensing music.

Citing people familiar with the discussions, the Journal says Amazon is talking about a music offering that would include options such as song-by-song downloads and a monthly subscription service. The expectation is that Amazon wants the service online later this year.

Yes - and iTunes has one of the best online selections out there!
