Upgrading the DRM-free iTunes library will cost
Apple may have announced, as expected, only that the iTunes Store will begin offering songs digital rights management section now. Instead, the country’s largest retail music secured licenses that allow users to update their existing DRM-music band and wrapped it controversial software - but it will cost them.
Apple formally proposed in more detail: Users of iTunes can now update their music library with the push of a button. For additional 30 cents per song, users can receive DRM-free version of the existing lines to 256-kbps bit rate.
ITunes files will still be in Apple’s preferred format for AAC, but not more widely supported MP3. But, as Matt Rosoff points out, many recent digital music products to support the file format of AAC, including the new Sony Walkman players and Microsoft Zune, and its next version of Windows Media Player.
Starting Tuesday, Apple offers 8 million DRM-free songs, and add another 2 million in April. Meetings for the rest of the songs is due to licensing issues, according to my sources.
I am not going to gripe about it. Such details of the work themselves, and it is impressive that Apple and major labels - Universal, Sony BMG and Warner - to develop solutions for the 8 million people.
With the move, the Apple iTunes also makes its foray strong compatibility. From now on, iTunes music to be played on any digital player, which means, iTunes users will not have to worry about your music library is blocked by some of the future of digital music player.
Apple has already offered DRM-free music EMI, the fourth-largest music label, at a higher rate for the premium price.
