Amazon to Offer More DRM-Free Music
Posted by Adam Stafford on 01/10/08Amazon.com announced Thursday afternoon that Sony BMG Music Entertainment has agreed to sell DRM-Free music via it's online retail site. This adds the fourth major record company offering music downloads just as its competitor iTunes.
I have been back and fourth with, where I get music downloads such as, Indie music artists, collecting Rhapsody points on my Wendy's combo meals, the Zune Marketplace and even Amazon.com. I'm hoping for the day when all this media can be more centralized. I find it very difficult to look for music in multiple places to get what I am looking for and am interested in what the future holds for Amazon.
Hopefully it won't become an online flea market but a pioneer of one-stop shopping.

Nice post Adam. I agree it’s great that there is another major company doing this, but having to go to 3 or 4 different places to find what I woudl like drives me crazy!  I laughed when you said something about the Wendy’s meals because I did the same thing. HAHAHA
What an amazing first post Adam. The RIAA Big Four are offering DRM Free music! Ironic and sweet!
Great news for Amazon…looks like they are definitely a major player in the online music market…
I’m so happy that the music companies have finally seen the light.
well that’s good news!!!More and more companies are gonna copy that.Bands offering their new albums to be downloaded for free [Radiohead i think did that],companies giving the opportunity for DRM-free downloads….imo,not long before DRM will be nothing more than just a bad dream -_*
