iTunes 7.2 released

Wednesday, May 30th, 2007

As up update to monday’s post, Apple today released iTunes 7.2, which includes iTunes Plus, Apple’s name for DRM-free downloads. Despite the press release‘s implication that the DRM free tracks are online, I dont’ see them yet.

UPDATE: To see the DRM free tracks, you have to click the iTunes Plus link in the Quick Links box on the right side of the iTunes Store. After agreeing to the iTunes Plus Terms Of Service , the plus tracks do start to show up in the regular store. The enhanced tracks can be recognized by a ‘+’ icon next to the price (and the price itself).

Rumor: DRM-free iTunes this week

Monday, May 28th, 2007

Gizmodo is reporting that DRM-free tracks from EMI could be hitting the virtual shelves this week. This got me excited because I had been looking forward to an easy way to actually pay for music online without having all sorts of restrictions on what I do with this music when I get it. I started to wonder however, if there were any artists on EMI that I actually care about. I managed to find a list and there are quite a few artists that I had been listening to:

  • Lily Allen
  • The Beastie Boys
  • Blur
  • Depeche Mode
  • Duran Duran
  • Fischerspooner
  • Goldfrapp
  • Kelis
  • Lenny Kravitz
  • The Magic Numbers
  • OK Go
  • Liz Phair
  • Iggy Pop
  • Moby

Most of these are artists that I had been listening to for a while, or that I picked up by listening to Pig Radio, which I can not recommend highly enough if you like Indie Rock, Techno and Electro Pop. The only exception is Lily Allen, who I had heard on Pig Radio, but didn’t really become interested in until Karl. played a few of her tracks over some EVE one afternoon.
