DRM is finally going the way of the Dodo in iTunes.
That’s great!
Wait.. do you have any idea how much music I’ve bought on iTunes over the last 5 years?
Somewhere in the neighborhood of 730 tracks… between albums and singles. So yeah just a bit of music. Now at $.30 a track it works out to right around $223 and change assuming that I have to pay for every track (items bought as albums will be cheaper).
And right now at this very moment I can “upgrade” 440 tracks for $107… So that’s 60% of my music that is DRM’d right there…
I’m torn… on the one side I have a music library that I’m very happy with sound wise when I listen to it on my computer… it’s on my iPod that we start to have problems.
On the other side… I could only sync with my iPod and now I can load some sort of music on my phone so I can use that part of it’s functionality. Not to mention stream it all through my xbox and do a shoutcast server of one sort or another.
On the other hand it’s a chunk of change and lets be honest I probally have other things to spend my money on…
It’s a intersting proposition I’m pretty sure i will unlock some stuff I just don’t know if I will unlock it all.
Much thought this will take…
