All songs from the Apple iTunes store now come without digital rights management (DRM) restrictions. Apple has also began offering tiered pricing instead of offering all songs at the same price.
All songs from the Apple iTunes store now come without digital rights management (DRM) restrictions. Apple has also began offering tiered pricing instead of offering all songs at the same price.
At this stage it is not known what the new prices wil be in Australia.
The new DRM-free songwill be playable on any consumer electronics device, music-playing mobile phone or networked music system that supports the AAC format.
Apple began offering DRM-free AAC tracks from EMI and independent labels in 2007, and in January began offering 8 million of its 10 million songs DRM-free. The remaining 2 million were just shorn of their protection.
Also today, RealNetworks’s Rhapsody a la carte download service which is available by downloading the US country code to a Sonos Wireless music player has converted to tiered pricing, but Rhapsody’s MP3 tracks have been DRM-free since last year.
