The software restriction policy is probably from Amazon. You should check with them. As a side note, NEVER buy music, videos, or software that encorporate DRM (Digital Restrictions Management). When you do that, you aren't purchasing it. You are simply renting it. They can remove your access to your content at their will and you will be SOL.

Since most of Amazon Music is MP3 (at least here) and no DRM you can get your MP3 and manually add it to iTunes.
IN FACT XP and iTunes means you can't use the latest iTunes and I know Amazon's Music app expects the latest iTunes.
