iTunes 7.2 brings DRM-free music
Posted by admin | Filed under Apps
The big news some weeks ago was how EMI was going to be releasing its music DRM-free on iTunes at a slightly higher price, and higher quality (bitrate). Well that day has finally come, as seen in this screenshot.
Upgrades here in Canada cost $0.40/song, 30% of the album price, and $0.80/music video (We still don’t have access to tv shows or movies). Buying iTunes Plus songs without already owning it is $1.39 per song.
An iTunes Plus option allows you always see the higher-quality, drm-free version of a song when available.
Another new option is Complete My Album, where you receive credit for songs already purchased when buying an album.
With these new features, I’m noticing delays on the store as everyone flocks to the site to upgrade their music. I can’t even preview a “plus” song, but the old one previews fine.
