Thread Starter | DRM Free Music for Indie Labels on iTunes?
Is there a way for indie labels or even bands to get their stuff DRM free on itunes or is that for the big guys only? Thanks!

It's already here! Some music TuneCore is delivering to iTunes is already in iTunes Plus, which is 256 kbps DRM-free! (And ringtones too!) Onward, into the future! --Peter peter@tunecore.com |

Could you please clarify your use of the term "some music"? (ie:, do all Tunecore customer have the option to offer their music in iTunes Plus format?) Would the people from CDBaby and Nimbit care to comment as well? | |

It's very exciting! For those customers who don't want to be part of iTunes Plus, we work with them. It's very nice! --Peter peter@tunecore.com | |

|  DRM free on iTunes? Quote:
All new deliveries for the last few months (since they announced it) have been delivered as master FLAC files. All past songs (over 1.4 million tracks!) are being RE-delivered now to Apple as master FLAC files, so that they can even do our older catalog as DRM-free "iTunes Plus". It's a massive undertaking. About 25 terabytes of audio. But they requested it, and are working hard to make it happen.
