Hey guys, here is another rumor that is 100% true. Apple has been working with the major record companies and they will now offer DRM-Free Tracks! This has been a major request by customers. So starting today, 8 million songs will now be DRM-Free! By the end of Apple’s 1st fiscal quarter in 2009, 10 million songs will be DRM-Free!

These will be in AAC 256kb encoding. This is higher quality than what is on iTunes today.

Prices will now be different. The prices will either be:

* $0.99

* $0.69

* $1.29

This will depend on how the music labels offer music. (Expect hit songs to be $1.29, then lower price)

And you can upgrade your entire existing library with iTunes Plus music!
