Apple’s iTunes are finally going DRM free as predicted previously by Steve Jobs. iTunes also announced that there will be a 3 pricinf system of $.69 cents, $.99 cents and $1.29 per tune. The features are set to take place on April 1, 2009. According to the iTune article it states that:
iTunes Plus will initially get 8 million songs at 256kbps, with two million more coming at the end of the quarter. When the process is done, the entire iTunes Store catalog will be available DRM free.
The iPhone will finally get songs purchasing over the 3G network, rather than being limited to Wi-Fi hotspots.
This is good news for the iTunes members.
Comments welcome.

Wow. Great. So new music will likely cost $1.29, and all of my EXISTING music will end up costing $1.29 each after paying the additional .30 per song.
It just a price increase across the board, making sure that everything I have EVER bought on iTunes ends up costing me $1.29 each.
I’m not really that excited. Conversion of existing music should be free.
