EMI, Apple partner on DRM-free premium music | Tech News on ZDNet
EMI Group will sell digital music with better sound quality and no digital rights management restrictions through Apple's iTunes Store from May 2007. They will continue to sell DRM limited lower quality tracks for $0.99, and sell the higher quality unlimited tracks at $1.29 (users with older tracks may upgrade for $0.30). The new tracks will be in a 256 kilobit-per-second AAC format.
Well Jobs has delivered, he always said he'd prefer not to use DRM, but was forced into it by the record companies, now he has at least one deal that bypasses the security. I'd definitely prefer to non-DRM tracks at this price.
