Apple Thoughts: Comparison Shop on iTunes and Amazonmp3 Stores

"The most recent iTunes update introduced variable priced, with many popular tracks now priced at $1.29. Needless to say, this makes Amazon MP3's 99 cent tracks that much more attractive. Advantageous mp3 is a little script and application combo that makes comparison shopping between iTunes and Amazon a snap."

So with the recent news about variable pricing on iTunes in full swing, as well as at the Amazon mp3 store, out comes this handy sounding application. Advantageous mp3 is a free download, and adds an AppleScript to iTunes as well as a small application to your Mac. You can start the script from the iTunes script menu and it does a search in Amazon via your default browser. It appears, however, that it doesn't work with all browsers. Sounds like, if it does work with your browser, it is a handy way to do some comparison shopping.
