Too much music out there that I want. All the good stuff seems to be $1.99 or is not available as an mp3.

Even so, international buyers should be able to use the promotion, if their purchase doesn't go over the $1.29.
My guess is that there are copyright issues involved in the distribution of MP3's outside the US for amazon.com.  They probably only have a license to distribute them in the US.  But I can't say for sure that's the reason. 
I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

That is a real stinker, they should make MP3 downloads available everywhere, not like it's any harder to "deliver" them to other countries.

  What are they thinking who they are? MP3 "shippings" only available in the US? Ridiculous.

Amazon.com is having a promotion in which you get $1.29 to towards the purchase of a mp3. Most mp3s are under that price, so you will be able to download one without paying anything.

Article on Lifehacker explaining the promotion

Personally I downloaded a Frank Zappa song.

I hope this is an appropriate place for this thread. Confused If not, it can be moved to the right spot, not that I have any say in it. LOL
