EMI, Apple Partner On DRM-Free Premium Music
EMI Group will soon sell digital music with better sound quality and no digital rights management restrictions through Apple’s iTunes Store.
EMI’s entire digital music catalog will be available in premium DRM-free form via iTunes in May, the music label said Monday at a press conference in London. Beatles tunes under EMI’s control, however, are not part of the plan.
In iTunes, music will be sold in a 256 kilobit-per-second AAC format.
