Can you give an MP3 album as a gift through Amazon?
Purchase page currently has no option for giving MP3 as a gift. Google produces many hits for this question, but nothing recent.

Asked their chat assist. They asked some silly questions about do you want to give a CD after I specifically asked about MP3, and other ridiculous questions. Eventually responded that you could not give MP3.

Are they correct? Is jb actually passing up the opportunity to make a sale and more profit?

A follow-up reply by the same user says "Some younger family members don't know what a CD is. Trying follow tradition of giving an actual item, not a random gift card."

So I'm not the only one. Looks like Amazon has removed the gift option for MP3 downloads, for business or legal reasons or both. Pity.
