Apple has announced that all of the EMI "digital" song catalog (I take this to mean not all of EMI's songs but just the ones that are available digitally) will not be made available without DRM. This is a big deal. Finally, Steve Jobs has come through on his comments. Of course this momentous occasion does not come without expense or more value. These songs will cost $.30 more. However, they will also come as 256k AAC files that are much higher quality that what was available before. I'm sure some of the audiophiles out there won't be happy until they get them as FLAC files. My guess is that those people are buying CD's still anyways though.
