Microsoft changes tune on selling DRM-free songs
<p align="left"><a href="http://www.mobilitysite.com/blogimages/MicrosoftchangestuneonsellingDRMfreesong_8512/zune3.jpg" atomicselection="true"></a> Elizabeth Montalbano had a short piece (<a href="http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&amp;taxonomyNa me=mobile_devices&amp;articleId=9015898&amp;taxono myId=75">Microsoft changes tune on selling DRM-free songs</a> ) posted on ComputerWorld that you might like reading. In part, her article said: <blockquote> <p align="left">"The EMI announcement on Monday was not exclusive to Apple," said Katy Asher, a Microsoft spokeswoman on the Zune team, in an e-mail to the IDG News Service today. She said Microsoft has been talking with EMI and other record labels "for some time now" about offering unprotected music on its Zune players in an effort to meet the needs of its customers. <p align="left">"Consumers have made it clear that unprotected music is something they want," Asher said. "We plan on offering it to them as soon as our label partners are comfortable with it."</blockquote> <p align="left">Thanks Julie for sending this in!

As happy as I am that this is happening, I have to say that the Zune guys look completely foolish in hindsight for their initial reaction to the Jobs letter. I truly believe that Apple knew EMI was considering this move when they published the letter; perhaps it was a signal to them that Apple was ready, willing and able as soon as they were?
