Posted by JohnL on Mon Apr 2 12:20:20 2007 EMI, the third largest music company has decided to sell high-quality non-copy-protected tracks for slightly more than the previous copy-protected versions, with upgrades available for the price difference.NY Times article, announcing the deal. More information is available in an Apple press release, where we find out that “high-quality” means 256Kbps AAC, at least for iTunes, which really is equivalent to the original. iTunes is first, but if you don’t like Apple, look for the other music sellers to follow quickly, and then you can choose whether you like AAC, WMA, OGG, MP4 or MP3 (which although it is the most widely used, does have limitations). Of course, if this takes, then Sony and BMG will follow, and the CD will die. |
