iTunes 7.2 Adds DRM-free Music Support

Apple released iTunes 7.2 late on Tuesday with support for iTunes Plus music. The update to Apple’s media player and management application added support for higher audio quality copy protection-free tracks.


iTunes 7.2

Apple and EMI announced a deal in April to offer music through the iTunes Store at a higher audio quality and without any copy protection schemes in place. The deal will eventually include all of EMI’s music library.

Apple CEO Steve Jobs stated that the higher quality songs would be available in May, and the release of iTunes 7.2 means that the iTunes Store should be able to bring the tracks online before the end of the month. Individual tracks will be available for US$1.29 instead of the usual $0.99.

iTunes 7.2 is available as a free download for Mac and Windows at the Apple Web site.
