EMI’s digital music catalog, free of DRM restrictions, will now be available on iTunes for $1.29 a pop. The Beatles catalog, however, is not part of this deal. But what a marketing campaign that will be, whenever it happens.
So what do you think, PF.org readers? Is it worth paying a little more for song downloads that don’t come with such restrictions?
Call me old-fashioned, I still like buying entire albums much of the time. And since albums are staying $9.99 and moving to DRM-free and 256kbps, I now have only two excuses to buy from allofmp3.com rather than iTunes — price and hatred for record labels. Hmm.
