Higher bit rate? DRM-free? Not bad. So, now it’s a case of MP3 vs. AAC and pricing.

I still have an issue with paying another .30 per song to upgrade just to get DRM free music…Kinda makes me angry…Itunes wants another 300.00 from me to do this. also you can’t seem to pick and choose what albums you want to upgrade, it’s all or nothing….

Thanks for the update. But for the price of older song, is it selling at $0.69, instead of $0.79? Probably it’s a typo.

Wohoo! No DRM. But variable pricing? WTF. That is a turn off I think.

Anyone that says “meh” anywhere needs a b*tch-slap. Here’s one for you, virtually.

I never thought this day would come! I have had an iPod since the third generation and have always resisted iTunes for the simple reason of DRM through all these years, 4 iPods, and 2 iPhones.

I started purchasing online from AmazonMP3 last year when they launched and loved it. Over the years I only ever bought a total of 11 songs from iTunes, which I just upgraded. Now I can shop and buy from iTunes and not just shop then go to Amazon. This is freaking sweet!

It would seem it will be $0.40 per song and $0.80 per video (albums still -30%) in the Canadian iTunes Music Store… even though the songs have always been $0.99 in Canada as well as the US. Lame.
