DRM-Free Done Better

Filed in archive Companies , DRM , Marketing on August 3, 2007

London-based online music store 7digital now sells DRM-free tunes from major label EMI, similar to an offering from Passalong Networks.

While pricing is similar to iTunes (7digital has songs at $1.08 US with DRM and $1.35 US without DRM), it's an otherwise superior offering.
> The music is available in the commonly supported MP3 format not iTunes' little used AAC format
> The files do not contain information about the purchaser
> The song is digitized at a higher resolution, 320kbps vs. 256 kbps for iTunes Plus.
