Apple has expanded its iTunes Plus, offering to over two million tracks and lowered the price of all iTunes Plus tracks to 99 cents. All iTunes Plus tracks feature DRM-free music with 256kbps AAC encoding. The iTunes Plus catalog is now the largest DRM-free catalog in the world, according to Apple.
It includes artists from Sub Pop, Nettwerk, Beggars Group, IODA, The Orchard and many others, along with EMI’s digital catalog. Apple is adding over two million tracks from key independent labels in addition to EMI’s digital catalog, says Eddy Cue, Apple’s vice president of iTunes.
EMI began offering their catalog on iTunes Plus earlier this year, and their selection has grown to include singles and albums from the Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Norah Jones, Frank Sinatra and the solo catalogs of all four Beatles. With the expansion of iTunes Plus, customers can now download tracks from a variety of labels without limitations on the type of music player or
number of computers that purchased songs can be played on, Cue says. iTunes Plus songs purchased from the iTunes Store will play on all iPods, iPhone, Macs, Windows systems, widescreen TVs with the Apple TV, as well as other digital music players.
