Universal, universally compatible

Universal_music_group_logo I'll confess, I'm freakishly interested in all things DRM. So I've been eagerly waiting for Universal Music Group to announce that it would try selling DRM-free tracks -- something that's been rumored for a while, but only became official today. And while the actual tracks haven't shown up yet, I can't help but feel ... disappointed. The more I thought about it, the less important it seemed, at least in terms of music sales. Read why at the Bit Player blog.
