The bn.com links were always there before.
The great major addition is the sound samples they have added. In the past I would go to bn.com or amazon.com to listen to sound samples. It's so convenient to have them in one place with all of the other content that allmusic offers.
Regarding registration: you only need to register if you want access to their "Premium Content (music samples, Advanced Search, Editorial Features, Expanded Artist and Album Info)". I am unclear about what they mean by "Expanded Artist and Album Info", but so far it looks like everything that you could access before, you can still access without registering. From going through the site, currently you can access the sound samples even if you aren't logged in, but maybe that is only for a short time to get people hooked so they will register. So far I haven't seen any content other than the advanced search that isn't accessible when not registered.
I have absolutely no problem registering for free with a resource that I use all the time, especially if they are offering me something more than I got before.

Apparantly if you want to browse genre, as well, as I was looking to see if they had info on skiffle bands and was told I had to register.JesseMiner wrote: you only need to register if you want access to their "Premium Content (music samples, Advanced Search, Editorial Features, Expanded Artist and Album Info)".
