Fabulous news. Today, EMI Music launches DRM-free superior sound quality downloads across its entire digital repertoire. They will release 256kbit AAC tracks without DRM on iTunes, but also on any music download service, and will allow upgrades if you are an existing DRM-equipped music customer. The difference in price is 30c or 20p. Albums, however, will remain the same price.
I can’t wait for iTunes to offer me the chance to upgrade my tracks.
I hope the other labels follow soon. So much for DRM.
