There could be other unspecified legal matters, too. Still, these things need to go away and go away soon.

Are the labels just snubbing iTunes in the DRM-free dept? It doesn’t seem likely, since they ARE the biggest music retails (or #2 now? can’t remember).

I’m baffled. I hope something gives soon, because I really do love iTunes as a music library and a store.

I was skeptical then and, I gotta tell you, as time goes on, it begins to look more and more like Apple is the one hanging on to the DRM, not the major labels. Rhapsody joins Amazon, Napster and fucking Wal-Mart in offering DRM free music. Has Apple added any new labels since the first flush?
