If the overall MacWorld keynote failed to deliver much excitement, the one piece of news regarding iTunes, the world's largest music store, is one of greater interest.
The platform will offer music free of limitations, better encoding, lower prices and access to the iTunes Store from the iPhone via 3G.
iTunes Plus : 8 million tunes DRM-free
Songs won't be set free of DRM straight away, but Apple promises that by the end of Spring,10 million tunes will no longer carry digital rights management restrictions.
Songs from $.69
From April on, the 99-cent song model will no longer exist. Instead there will be three price levels, going from 69 cents and to $1.29. More songs should be offered at the low price point.
