EMI and Apple Team Up to Kill DRMs

As we already reported it this morning, Eric Nicoli, CEO of EMI, announced during a press conference that EMI Music launches DRM-free and superior sound quality downloads across its entire digital repertoire.
So the end user will have to choice between cheaper DRM-loaded music tracks and more expensive DRM-free music files featuring a higher sound quality. If the price per track will be higher, the price of the entire DRM-free album will remain unchanged. All EMI music videos will also be available on the iTunes Store DRM-free with no change in price
Prices:
with DRM: 0.99 Euro / title
DRM-free: 1.29 Euro / title
To update purchase contents to DRM-free: 0.30 Euro / title
DRM-free music files will be available in May, in audio AAC 256 kbps format.
Steve Jobs joined Eric Nicoli and confirmed that DRM-free music track is the way to go for the entire music industry.
As mentioned by Eric Nicoli:

EMI and iTunes are once again teaming up to move the digital music industry forward by giving music fans higher quality audio that is virtually indistinguishable from the original recordings, with no usage restrictions on the music they love from their favorite artists
