Now we just need to find a way to lean on the major distributors to present the option to download lossless versions of these precious digital tracks. If they’re going to be charging a price premium, and have no reason to asphyxiate us with DRM anymore, then we might as well have the option to transcode into the codec/bitrate of our choice, too.

Bah, nevermind that; 30 cents per song to un-DRM stuff.

What I want to know is whether they’ll provide a way to remove DRM from previously-purchased songs (or allow you to redownload everything).

I like the three price points idea, assuming artists get to choose how much they want to sell their songs for. Do they?

About time. Now, maybe this will get the labels involved more, and maybe just maybe, they’ll get a damned clue. But not likely.
