Amazon snaps up AmieStreet for streaming
Amazon today acquired Amie Street to improve its music efforts. The site will be shutting down its unique store with demand-based pricing and will instead focus on Songza, its recommendation-based Internet radio service. Customers will have until September 22 to use what's left in their accounts but will get a $5 credit on Amazon MP3 if they have a US Amazon account.
