I would love to see what types of formats are available from EMI and at what bit-rates they are available in. Thanks for the info.

Especially since other vendors will also be able to sell EMI unprotected content in AAC, Windows Media or MP3 formats. You can't tether an MP3 to a specific machine, so w00t!<br /> <br /> Great news!! I love it. The thing that sucks is the 30 cent mark up. That's pretty steep. I'd be total happy if it was 5 or 10 cents. But either way, this is great news. It sounds like it will not be tethered to your PC, so you shouldn't have the machine restriction.

Question though: In iTunes you are only allowed to play your music on what 5 systems? With this new DRM-free music, will that mean you can play it on more now? Or does it simply mean you can play the music on anything that supports the file type rather than just the iPod or other Apple hardware? I love hearing this.
