Variable pricing put in.

Great step for DRM...bad step for popular songs costing 1.29 instead of .99.

Hm- the DRM was the main reason that I didn't buy music from iTunes (that, and I mostly listen to video game music anyway, but there is "actual" music I listen to as well)... maybe I should reconsider using it?

Even though the DRM is removed, personal info like your name, account number, etc. are still embedded into the MP3s you download.

Really? That's strange- I don't typically give away my music files, but still, I don't like the sound of that- I suppose I will stick with CDs and perfectly legal downloading then.

A remover can easily be made to take care of that. In fact, I think there's a DRM remover that could possibly do that...
