Eric Nicoli CEO of EMI: “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”.

This is very exciting. When I was at school and at university I used to spend many hours everyweek finding new music, reading about bands, going to gigs and more generally being part of the music scene at large. I found that when I started work, after a few years a significant part the free time I spent doing these activities was no longer there to spare.

Digital music was supposed to help me here, but until now I’ve been mostly dissapointed and frustrated. I don’t have time to waste anymore so I re-aligned my priorities and music took a back seat. I’m hoping DRM free music will allow me to get excited about music the way I used to be and guess what, I’m not a poor student anymore, I’ve got money to spend now.

Make my life easy.
