"This initiative is the newest element of our ongoing campaign to bring our music to fans wherever they happen to be."
Amazon MP3 was launched in the US in September 2007 and boasts the world's biggest selection of DRM-free music downloads at over 3.1 million songs from more than 270,000 artists.
Tracks are available exclusively in the MP3 format without DRM software and are encoded at 256Kbps.
"We are excited to offer Amazon MP3 customers DRM-free MP3s from Sony BMG, which represents many of the most popular musicians from the past and present," said Bill Carr, vice president for digital music at Amazon.
Most songs are priced from US89 to US99 cents, and most albums are priced between US$5.99 and US$9.99.
