    EMI & Apple DRM free

    EMI are now the first big label to make the step to DRM Free music. Great news. The label have struck a deal with Apple that means their tracks will be for sale in two formats. They will continue to sell tracks for £.079 or $0.99 with the DRM, but will now sell the same tracks for £0.99 or $1.29 with NO DRM and at twice the quality. I know which version I will be buying from now on. Apple are also giving the option to upgrade albums and tracks previously bought to the DRM free format for an extra 20p per track.
