Amazon announces DRM-free music store

Looks like it's just EMI (which Apple already has for sale on iTunes, DRM-free and higher quality, but more expensive than normal too), but the really important part is that it's MP3, so it'll play on anything (I think Apple's DRM-free songs are AAC, which should play on iPods and PSP and Zune, but not Zen Vision)

Hopefully Apple starts offering music in MP3, and more importantly, hopefully other companies start following suit.

Good job, Amazon.

Looks like DRM removal is the new fad. Good.
