By any reasonable defination, Apple has a monopoly on digital music players. Really.
Ok, EMI president just said that they have an exciting new digital initiative, but first there will be some live music.
I have to say, for a record label exec, he seems to be interesting.

Def DRM, especially with the Albarn quote.
The Good, The Bad and The Queen..listen, they are good.
re. the previous post, they cann't be suggesting you have to pay more for DRM free, all th is talk of a premium product with enhanced sound qaulity, and upgrading existing content.

That slide is weird. How can non-DRM tracks have twice the sound quality, but DRM tracks have standard sound quality?
Does that mean we get lossless DRM tracks and then lossy non-DRM?

When i open it with Windowds media player..it says Closed 00:00/00:00. I guess they reached there limit on the stream.
Ha... they giveth one hand and taketh away with the other...
so you only get DRM free if you pay for the privelege... and you only get the better quality if you pay for the difference. Given that it doesn't take any extra effort to encode at 256, it'll be interesting to see whether it's twice the price.
I wonder if consumers will vote with their wallets and stick to the DRM'd stuff.

DRM Free at last. Now I can go back and flag up the post of the Apple fanboy zealots who listed the reasons it would never happen from their repertoire of knowledge, criticising anyone who disagreed. Brilliant, fun for all!
Excellent move for the consumer.

HOLY ****!!

Standard souquality tracks with DRM
Go frickin' Apple!!! Steve is the Jack Baur for consumers.

Wow, is everything covered live these days? I mean, Steve Jobs keynote at WWDC or Nintendo keynote at E3 for instance I can understand, but isn't this a bit too much hype for a minor event/press release thing? Exactly how big is this news on the grand scale?
