Apple Thoughts: All You Ever Wanted to Know About iTunes Plus

"Apple's iTunes Store is almost completely DRM-free, and will be entirely DRM-free from spring," Nate Lanxon reports for CNET. "This means files downloaded from iTunes work on heaps of devices that aren't from Apple."

Just make sure the music you are now able to share doesn't end up on a file-sharing network, because the DRM-free files contain your email address used when you purchased the music. Maybe this was a payoff to the RIAA, who knows, but it is the one warning in the article. The rest of the article is a pretty good summation of what iTunes Plus means to the average consumer. I love the fact they are doing this, will make my sharing of files (at home only among family of course!) so much easier.
