SEATTLE (AP) - The new pricing structure for iTunes is now in effect. The top digital music store on the Internet has begun
selling songs at three different price points for singles: 69 cents, 99 cents and $1.29.
This goes along with Apple's announcement in January that it was ditching its practice of selling singles for 99 cents and albums for $9.99. Now, the labels
are being allowed to set the prices.
On the flip side, Apple is ending its copy protection technology. The demise of DRM or digital rights management means the songs you do buy on iTunes can be copied to any number of CDs, computers and music players, as long as those devices support the format Apple uses for music.
