Apple Takes Another Step with new iTunes Plus Pricing
10.17.07 - 11:09am
When I first heard of Apple’s iTunes Plus program I was ecstatic up until I was informed of the 30 cent premium per song. The iTunes Plus tracks are 256kbps DRM-free songs that are NOW one of the best deals in regards to pay-per-song services with a per-song cost of 99 cents, on par with DRM’d tracks. The iTunes Plus library now stretches over 2 million tracks and hopefully will eventually include the entire iTunes library in due time. Considering how the entire iTunes library covers 6 million tracks, hopefully the popularity of iTunes Plus will show Apple exactly what users are demanding. Enough with this DRM garbage, maybe in a year the record labels will realize that DRM is only harming the technology illiterate consumers, the active consumers will always find a way to get what they want.
