According to sources (which I will not name), Apple is in talk with 3 major labels about a possibility of DRM-free songs from itunes. One of the biggest reason that I hate buying songs from itunes is that they implement that fairplay thing to limit the playability of these songs. This is good news if this pulls through. Sony might be one of these companies in talks with Apple. If this is true, I may dust-off my old ipod. I’ve since given up on the hassle of buying songs from apple because of this reason. I know there are numerous work around to this but it’s too much hassle. I can’t be spending time figuring out how to get rid of the protection crap from my songs, I’ve got some blogging to do. I buy songs from walmart.com and the songs can play both in my ipod and my other .mp3 players. I only go to itunes to get songs that are sometimes not listed on walmart like indie music and other non-mainstream songs. We’ll just wait and see what happens to this one. I’m keeping my fingers crossed on this one.
