No more DRM?

I just heard that one of the big for music labels has FINALLY agreed to sell non-DRM'd music on the Apple iTunes store. The label is EMI and they have agreed to start selling their entire library on ITMS no DRM.

Here's the catch....

All EMI songs will be 99 cents with DRM. If you want the ones without DRM then those tracks will cost $1.29.

This is a good thing. The non DRM music will be more expensive (.30) but it will also be in a better bit rate (256k). I will definatly take a 30 cent hit for non DRM AND better quality.

Now, for all of those Apple haters...........Apple (for a limited time) will allow you to upgrade all existing songs in your library from EMI to the higher bit rate, non DRM'd music for 30 cents.

Could this be the light at the end of the tunnel?
