Plain and simple, does anyone know how to remove the Amazon MP3 app?
It's useless and annoying.

Root your Droid.
Rename the com.amazon.mp3.apk to com.amazon.mp3.bak
Otherwise, there is no way.
Actually, I would say copy all your apps to your computer or SD rename the folder and then rm the app from your phone....
Of course you could always back it up that way. But it's a really small app. I don't think the issue is the space it takes up in memory, but rather the fact that it's always running and pretty useless.
Therefore, just changing the file extension fixes that problem, and makes it very easy and quick to restore.
By "no other way", I meant you can't get rid of it without rooting. Once it's rooted, there are of course multiple ways of approaching it.
Just curious what is annoying about the Amazon MP3 app. I am an admitted Itunes hater (my brain and Itunes just don't seem to work the same way for some reason), but I have purchased songs on Amazon several times and it has worked fine.

I think on the Droid, though, the additions are rather subtle and not that bothersome. Enough people use Facebook to put it on there by default, and Amazon MP3's inclusion may have something to do with iPhone competition, since iTunes is a big part of that.
So at what point do you think it becomes bothersome? 3 more apps you'll never use... 5? At least on a PC you can delete the crapware that comes installed on it.
Oh sorry, I didn't realize that since you think they're useful then that's why it makes it different than crapware on a PC. My bad...
You really think that the Amazon program is placed there because "they think people might actually use it" and not because there's a monetary deal with Amazon.com? Just because people "might" use it doesn't mean that it shouldn't be removable by the user, like crapware on a PC.
I never claimed to be the only person who would use it. Most people will use Facebook, and as I said, Amazon MP3 is most likely there to compete with the iTunes store. Of course they have a monetary deal with Amazon; I never claimed they didn't.
I'm not sure why the attitude is necessary. I'm just stating my opinion, as are you. I never said you were wrong and I really don't have any desire to fight with you.
I don't know how to remove it, but you can get it to stop restarting itself: Open the app, select Settings, and disable the "Monitor Connection" feature.
I spoke too soon.
It's still restarting itself.
Is there a kill app that will kill an app as soon as it restarts?
I uninstalled the photobucket app because it wants to run all the time.
I dont mind that it's on my phone, I DO mind that I cant shut it off.
Dont care how little memory or power it uses, I want it shut down.
Without rooting my phone, I guess my only retaliation is a boycott of Amazon.com for forcing itself on me.
Looks like their little marketing stunt backfired! On me at least.
I have bought products from them before, but never again.

I no longer use the facebook app.
I found it uploads ALL your contacts (and their phone numbers) to your FB account.
There is no way to stop it from doing this that I could find.
Knowing that my number is listed in my friend's accounts is edging me toward leaving the FB community for good. (I only use it for family)
The first Spam call I get on my phone that I suspect came from a FB friend's hacked account, I'm done.
