yakk0dotorgThe iTunes Store now has DRM free songs! If you don't know what DRM is, it's what prevents you from using your legally purchased music on another device, like the Microsoft Zune can play the AAC format that music from iTunes comes in, but the Zune can't play the music that's been encrypted with Apple's DRM. If you buy the from iTunes designated as "iTunes Plus," it's DRM free, so you're free to play it with anything that can understand the file format. The songs are also double the quality of the standard songs purchased, but they're also $0.30 more.
I can live with the price increase for the benefits of being able to play my music wherever. Maybe now I can get that streaming server going for my home that I wanted to setup a while back. I abandoned it because most of my music was DRMed.
