iTunes 7.2 is out

I’ve just noticed that Apple has released iTunes 7.2

iTunes 7.2

This is an important release of iTunes because it supports DRM-free iTunes music(also known as iTunes Plus - the “Plus” is for the extra 30 cents “piracy tax” that you’ll have to pay for these tunes).

I can’t see any iTunes Plus tunes currently available for purchase but I expect these to follow shortly.

Is Apple onto a winner with iTunes Plus?  I’m still skeptical about the demand for DRM-free tunes, especially given the added premium.  I guess time will tell.

Thoughts?

Yeah, but the record companies...

Letting me rid my own CDs for my own use means I may not have to buy it ever
again (unless Apple Corps releases a new version mixed from the tracks used in
"Love.").... (Read the rest)
