And you don't have to pay a full $1.29 for the higher quality. You can 'upgrade' your DRM-protected songs to higher-quality non-DRM songs for 30 cents. Official Apple press release: http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2007/04/02itunes.html

I wonder if EMI videos are going to get the same treatment. Probably not.

Actually yeah, they are. But you don't have to pay an upgrade fee, you just get them replaced by Apple with DRM free versions.

That's cool. I didn't think the videos would get the treatment since music was explicitly mentioned, and the term was stressed in the press release.

Great argument! The freedom to pick-and-choose is clearly one of the great advantages of iTMS.

I also think the option of being able to upgrade your music library to higher quality, DRM-free tunes is a winner! That’s certainly a wise, loyalty-building measure from Apple and EMI. I hope iTMS provides a similar offer at every future turn of the road.
