press release:

EMI Music launches DRM-free superior sound quality downloads across its entire digital repertoire

Apple's iTunes store to be the first online music store to sell EMI's new downloads

London, 2 April 2007 -- EMI Music today announced that it is launching new premium downloads for retail on a global basis, making all of its digital repertoire available at a much higher sound quality than existing downloads and free of digital rights management (DRM) restrictions.

The new higher quality DRM-free music will complement EMI's existing range of standard DRM-protected downloads already available. From today, EMI's retailers will be offered downloads of tracks and albums in the DRM-free audio format of their choice in a variety of bit rates up to CD quality. EMI is releasing the premium downloads in response to consumer demand for high fidelity digital music for use on home music systems, mobile phones and digital music players. EMI's new DRM-free products will enable full interoperability of digital music across all devices and platforms.

Eric Nicoli, CEO of EMI Group, said, "Our goal is to give consumers the best possible digital music experience. By providing DRM-free downloads, we aim to address the lack of interoperability which is frustrating for many music fans. We believe that offering consumers the opportunity to buy higher quality tracks and listen to them on the device or platform of their choice will boost sales of digital music.

"Apple have been a true pioneer in digital music, and we are delighted that they share our vision of an interoperable market that provides consumers with greater choice, quality, convenience and value for money."

"Selling digital music DRM-free is the right step forward for the music industry," said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO. "EMI has been a great partner for iTunes and is once again leading the industry as the first major music company to offer its entire digital catalogue DRM-free."

Apple's iTunes Store (www.itunes.com) is the first online music store to receive EMI's new premium downloads. Apple has announced that iTunes will make individual AAC format tracks available from EMI artists at twice the sound quality of existing downloads, with their DRM removed, at a price of $1.29/€1.29/£0.99. iTunes will continue to offer consumers the ability to pay $0.99/€0.99/£0.79 for standard sound quality tracks with DRM still applied. Complete albums from EMI Music artists purchased on the iTunes Store will automatically be sold at the higher sound quality and DRM-free, with no change in the price. Consumers who have already purchased standard tracks or albums with DRM will be able to upgrade their digital music for $0.30/€0.30/£0.20 per track. All EMI music videos will also be available on the iTunes Store DRM-free with no change in price.

EMI is introducing a new wholesale price for premium single track downloads, while maintaining the existing wholesale price for complete albums. EMI expects that consumers will be able to purchase higher quality DRM-free downloads from a variety of digital music stores within the coming weeks, with each retailer choosing whether to sell downloads in AAC, WMA, MP3 or other unprotected formats of their choice. Music fans will be able to purchase higher quality DRM-free digital music for personal use, and listen to it on a wide range of digital music players and music-enabled phones.

EMI's move follows a series of experiments it conducted recently. Norah Jones's "Thinking About You", Relient K's "Must've Done Something Right", and Lily Allen's "Littlest Things" were all made available for sale in the MP3 format in trials held at the end of last year.

EMI Music will continue to employ DRM as appropriate to enable innovative digital models such as subscription services (where users pay a monthly fee for unlimited access to music), super-distribution (allowing fans to share music with their friends) and time-limited downloads (such as those offered by ad-supported services).

Nicoli added: "Protecting the intellectual property of EMI and our artists is as important as ever, and we will continue to work to fight piracy in all its forms and to educate consumers. We believe that fans will be excited by the flexibility that DRM-free formats provide, and will see this as an incentive to purchase more of our artists' music."

fängte einer erstmal an...

ich hoffe mal, dass andere bald nachziehen. Ich finde das DRM-freie Angebot mit höherer Qualität durchaus attraktiv. Gemessen an DRM-belasteten Songs mit geringerer Qualität finde ich den Preis auch o.K. Auch wenn das aus meiner Sicht nur ein Zwischenschritt ist, zum kompletten Fall des DRM. Der wird sich dadurch nicht mehr langfristig halten können.

DRM Free für Premium Downloads...

 

[PatrickB]

Das ist ein großer Schritt, ich freu mich tierisch =) 30cent mehr ist schon natürlich wieder n bissle frech aber immerhin hat EMI den Mumm etwas zu machen!

 

[ametzelchen]

Next big step forward

 

[jensche]

hehe... der hat sogar den DRM umgehungstrick gesagt... kaufen, auf CD brennen und wieder rippen.... hehe...

 

[streuobstwiese]

Eric Nicoli (EMI)....we made the buttons on the screen so beautiful, you want to lick them...
Schöner englischer Humor, geil.

 

[jensche]

super. jetzt hat man die Wahl.. finde ich super.

 

[ametzelchen]

Doing the right thing for the customer DRM free music...

 

[DerOwie]

Nimmt ein bisschen die Transperenz aus dem iTunes Store, aber es ist einfach ein großer Schritt.

 

[PatrickB]

Man sollte Partys feiern!

 

[ametzelchen]

Wenn ich das richtig verstehe, dann kann man (zumindest in UK) seine bisherigen DRM geschützten EMI Tracks aus dem Store gegen DRM free Tracks ( 256 k Qualität) "tauschen" und zahlt pro Track nur die Differenz von 20 p (UK).
Wird das hier auch möglich sein?

 

[jesfro]

worldwide as steve said...

 

[DerOwie]

Steve ist einer von uns.
Eigentlich ist das, was wir hier heute ankündigen, nichts neues. Auf CDs ist alles DRM-frei.

 

[jensche]

was meint ihr, gibts noch ein one last thing: neue Cinemas? muhahahahah...
