Finally, part of the music industry have realised that consumers don’t appreciated DRM in their music. Personally, I am willing to pay that little extra in order to get DRM free music, and I know a lot of people that think the same way.

Consumers don’t like being locked down, so this is a great achievement for EMI to stand out and offer this DRM free collection.

did you see it won’t cost any extra for complete albums? I bought stuff on iTunes in the past, and I will buy again now that I can get DRM-free songs.

I do not think this is the revelation people think it will be, nobody that I know is downloading illegal music is going to pay for it any time soon, I predict that EMI will realize that it is too little too late and go back to the wicked ways within a year.

What about players that do support AAC such as the Creative Zen Vision:M or the Sandisk Sansa? Hopefully, DRM-free WMA files will be available from Yahoo Music, Rhapsody, etc.

This is pretty cool. Let’s hope this starts something.
