iTunes Unleashes DRM Free Downloads

As of Wednesday, May 30, iTunes has begun distributing DRM-free downloads at $1.29 per song. The new unrestricted tracks will be of better audio quality and playable on mp3 players other than the iPod. This initial launch has only seen artists from EMI Group PLC including Coldplay, The Rolling Stones, Norah Jones, Frank Sinatra, Pink Floyd and Paul McCartney. Apple commander in chief Steve Jobs has projected more than half of the store’s 5 million plus songs to be available in the unrestricted format by the end of the year.http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070530/ap_en_mu/apple_itunes_plus;_ylt=AqTAwW07_1L0O_e.dmzZwo4IHL8C
