Sony BMG may jump on board with DRM-free iTunes Plus
For the time being, we’ll definitely have to file this one under rumor but our fingers are most certainly crossed. According to 9to5Mac’s “hunch”, which we would hope to mean anonymous reliable source, Sony BMG will soon become the second major label to get on board with Apple’s iTunes Plus offering. iTunes Plus, for those not keeping score at home, is Apple’s name for higher quality DRM-free tracks offered through its store. If this rumor pans out, Sony BMG will join EMI in making 256kbit DRM-free tracks available through iTunes. Apple launched the iTunes Plus service back in May of 2007 and initially charged a premium of 30¢ per track before seeing the light and lowering Plus prices to the normal 99¢ price point. Since then however, lack of major label adoption beyond EMI has kept the world pretty quiet about Apple’s DRM-free library. News of Sony BMG jumping on board would definitely be a huge knock against DRM and might help the other two majors, Universal and Warner, see the light.
Yes Please.
yeah, the company that introduced Root Kits is going to sell drm free music! I believe that one.
DRM-free FTW!!!
or I just buy physical format: CD, and encode to 192kbps ogg vorbis, better audio quality
Is 192kbps ogg, better than 256kbps AAC? I’d really have to see test result on that one.
I’d also have to say, this is a smart move. As soon as I see that something is not iTunes Plus, I move on and spend my money on other things. Hell, I might start buying whole albums from new artists, instead of cherry picking the one or two singles I know I like. Theoretically, the AACs I purchased on iTunes Plus are better quality than Amazon’s MP3’s (though, I really can’t hear the difference). The huge difference for me is that I can just download stuff at will after I hear a track on my local NPR affiliate to my iPhone. DRM really crimps on this spontaneous purchase, however. I think three times before I download a regular iTunes track as opposed to iTunes Plus– and by that time, I’ve sort of moved onto other things in my life.
well, hi admin adn people nice forum indeed. how’s life? hope it’s introduce branch
Nothing seems to be easier than seeing someone whom you can help but not helping.
I suggest we start giving it a try. Give love to the ones that need it.
God will appreciate it.
