Sat, 11/08/2008 - 20:59 — Cleve Nettles

Let's just say we have a hunch on this one.  Sony iTunes Plus high quality AAC files coming to the iTunes store in the next few weeks/months..same deal, 256kbit quality, no DRM.

Now when are they going to drop the "BMG"?  We have no idea.

I sure hope not

I dont see anything good coming from this.

Higher Quality tracks with no

Higher Quality tracks with no drm, sounds good to me.

Why would you worry about your email address being in the music track, unless you were gonna share the file!
