MP3tunes Offers Music Service Without DRM

Posted by samzenpus on from the let-the-music-flow dept.

ThinSkin writes "Former MP3.com chief and Lindows CEO Michael Robertson will reenter the music world next week with MP3tunes, a service that promises music without DRM restrictions. MP3tunes hopes to attract users who are fed up with restrictions on copying music from sites that use digital-rights-management techniques, such as iTunes."

    This is not a new concept. It's already alive and well over at emusic.com. The selection is not great, but you get 50 to 80 high-quality MP3's with NO DRM for a flat monthly fee.

    It's called magnatune and I've been shopping there for months.

    How long until Michael offers us "mp3 lockers" so he doesn't even have to pay his own artists for downloads anymore?

    Because we all know there are no drm free music services around that offer legitimate and legal in America music downloads.
