wal-mart offers the lowest prices on drm-free 256kps mp3s
-
EMI and Universal are now pushing their DRM-free wares through Wal-Mart’s online megastore, and at jaw-dropping prices (just watch that little yellow smiley face whistle and dance). Wal-Mart is the latest online music store to drop the DRM format that will enable it to realistically compete with ITunes and bid for the iPod market. Wal-Mart’s 256kps mp3s are available to the public for 94 cents, compared to iTunes’ $1.29 per single.
The only drawback to this entire scheme is the fact that Wal-Mart only offers censored versions of the music – censorship of all music is company policy and is not expected to change anytime soon.
“Hmm, do I want to save 35 cents per song, or hear the word F#%K thirty-five times in this one 50 Cent single?”
