Have you pulled open the mp3 file in a hex editor to see what the ID3 version field contains? You should be able to find the 10 byte ID3 header easily. http://www.id3.org/id3v2.3.0 http://www.id3.org/id3v2.4.0-structure There’s probably some truth to Bobo’s comment.

ID3v2.4 is the "latest and greatest" version of the ID3 format -- but ID3v2.3 is by far the most popular version of the format. A lot of players still don't read ID3v2.4. Check and see if that's the case before slamming amazon. I doubt that Amazon has a “proprietary” ID3 format that is readable by both other players.

All I really want it the online equivalent of a record shop, where I can walk in and buy what I want, when I want. I like the idea of emusic.com, but I find their subscription model annoying.
