Amazon launches DRM-free music service
If you have a special liking for DRM-free music, Amazon has today obliged you by adding to your choices of sources by launching the public beta of its new digital music portal site. It’s called Amazon MP3 and will boast two million tracks from 180,000 artists and 20,000 labels. The site will include songs from EMI and Universal which recently withdrew from Apple’s iTunes service and will make seperate songs available for $.89 or $.99 and claims that all of the “Top 100″ tracks will be priced at the lower figure.
Albums will range $5.99 to $9.99 with the best selling albums at $8.99. And with no DRM to hinder the private use of the music you’ve bought it can be copied around the house without the digital police trying to stop you.
