I'm a little late on posting this.. but if you were too busy playing Where's Steve at yesterday's MacWorld then you might have missed a few new rules that affect all music lovers starting April 1.
1. no more days of authorizing and deauthorizing computers... remember the agonizing time when you receive a burned mix-cd of music from that boy with the bose headphones and the incubus koi tattoo you thought was super cute, but couldn't tell him what you thought about track 5 because you weren't authorized to play his music? how come he forgot? well, no worries.. all music bought from itunes will be officially DRM (digital rights management) free, meaning anyone and anything is authorized to play it once you've BOUGHT it from iTunes... (please buy your music, thanks!)
2. can't decide which song to get? choose by price! itunes will be offering three different price points: $.69, $.99, and $1.29... most albums will still be the same price, but this will affect those who like the not-so-in-demand music, i'm guessing.. its a good way to find new favorites!
3. although this doesn't affect me, i'll tell all my iPhone touchscreen loving friends: you can download music directly onto your iPhone from iTunes. but hey, once it's on you can put it on your computer, right? neat!
get well soon, mr. jobs! we love you!
