"Leopard, the sixth major release of Mac OS X, is the best upgrade we've ever released," said Steve Jobs Well they wouldn't get far claiming it to be worst upgrade they've ever released...
You can't really have different prices for them. You can't charge more for DRM'd songs that you can do less with, and you can't charge more for DRM-free songs because you can get them cheaper at Amazon.

More curiously, how long until the other labels remove the DRM restrictions? Will this price reduction prompt people to favor the DRM-free option? I hope so...
