Music purchases

I have begun to play MP3 music on my Kindle while reading, a quiet piece of classical piano or a quartet is very soothing while reading. So I'm curious to know if I can purchase MP3 files and have them downloaded to my Kindle the same way I do it with books?

No. mp3 files are not supported via direct download or email, as far as I know. They are so large, it would be far too expensive if they had to go via 3G. It is going to be faster to connect via USB and copy, anyway.

btw, i tried to buy mp3 tracks from amazon.com, amazon.co.uk and amazon.de and what do you think happened?
yep, geographical restrictions!!!! yey! (insert maniacal laughter)
i swear i'm so tired of them.
amazon.com sells to US&Canada, .de to GermanyAustria&Switzerland (?) while co.uk only sells to the UK.
a big FU to those of us who want to download stuff legally.

to be clear, that's not an Amazon issue, that is an issue between your country and the industry
