7digital.com to offer DRM-free MP3s from Warner Music International
If you abhor the fact that most of the mp3s being sold online have DRM, well then this tidbit of news might be able to make you guys smile. 7digital.com has just announced that they will be offering DRM-free MP3s from Warner Music International, a division of the Warner Music Group.
In fact, 7digital.com is the first major European download store to offer people in UK, Ireland, Spain, France, and Germany, mp3 downloads from Warner Music. Eighty percent of the total 3.5 million tracks from 7digital.com is now MP3, alongside formats such as WMA and AAC.
What’s great about this is that these songs that can be downloaded can be readily played in various MP3 players, including the world-famous iPod.
With this latest offering, Ben Drury, CEO of 7digital.com, said
7digital.com is excited to be Warner Music’s first major partner in Europe to bring MP3s to the marketplace. Our 1.2 million registered customer base has proved to us that MP3s sell very well and MP3 is currently the format of choice for digital media consumers.
7digital.com is committed to becoming the destination for MP3s and we plan to make our entire music catalogue available in DRM-free, high-quality MP3 format by summer 2008.
