1. Comment - Universal Goes DRM Free, But Not on iTunes

   (Aug 10, 2007 - 10:36 AM)

   The fact that they are not using iTunes as a distribution point isn't that surprising. They constantly mention DRM-free MP3 as the format of choice. I've never seen Apple issue MP3 as a format in the iTMS. EMI's music although DRM-free is still AAC and not as widely supported. MP3s offered through services that aren't bound to specific players (i.e. iTunes/iPod) seems like a logical step in testing the waters for such a step forward for the music labels. The real question will be whether these are 128 kbps MP3s or better.
