    Amazon Music (http://www.amazon.com/music) is great. DRM free and most songs are at 256 kbps.

    I agree. Only $0.99 for an .mp3 song, and it can be converted to .wav and/or burned to a CD. I had a problem the first time--I think I had to disable pop-up blockers. Amazon support was helpful.

    I never had any problems downloading Napster songs and using a FreeDRM program to strip it off and burn to CDs I listen to personally.

    Those are the $1.29 songs, right? Or are they switching all music to DRM-free for the $0.99 pricing?

    It's going to be a tiered pricing structure now for DRM free. $1.29 new releases and $.99/$.79 for older stuff.
    It agitates me that Apple and the record companies are charging to upgrade current libraries to DRM free. You get a higher bitrate and no DRM, but for some people this could be a very costly upgrade.

    At least the upgrade is optional for existing tracks, right?
    I am personally fine with my 'DRM'ed music. I do not think I would upgrade.
