I came across this article on News.com about Jessica Simpson’s new single being sold in MP3 format. It could be the first step forward in moving towards selling music over the internet without DRM.
Which would be a much welcome change ad it would bring online music one step closer to being the same quality as buying actual albums. While there is still the issue of quality it does solve the issue of copying your music collection onto your different players and such and the whole having to have licences which you then of course have to back up and risk losing.
I also read a little bit more about it on the Yahoo Music blog and was also pleased to learn they are keeping Firefox compatability in mind with regards to LaunchCAST (currently not Mozilla compatible). Having to have IE hanging around for LaunchCAST was one of the reason I stopped using the service.
