DRM-free Music

I guess I'm a little slow on this, but eMusic is the only music download site to offer their music free of digital rights management (DRM) code. That means you will be able to transfer all the files you download to ANY .mp3 capable device with no problems. Every other site adds overhead code to prevent you from moving the music to other devices or kills the track after so many uses or after you cancel your subscription. These tracks really are yours to keep and use however you see fit!

This is the first subscription-based service that I've seen that seems even-handed for both the seller and the buyer.
