I heard they did too. Although I went to see if they had an album I want that is not DRM free at 7digital (for now at least), and it wasn't either. So they're certainly not 100% DRM free.

Tesco Digital will be moving DRM-free stuff soon. We talked about this on the podcast a while ago, and I wrote about it on Crave, too.

iPods aside, I was really hoping for an Apple TV 3.0 . The current product promised so much but is let down on the video side if things. Looks like I'll be waiting until January. 'Good things come...' but then again.

So what would you like to see in Apple TV 3.0?

I was wondering if Genius could alert Apple to my extensive library of non-itunes bought music (of which one or two songs might be from pirate bay) wink
I really wanted a slimmer ipod classic with descent memory and they delivered, i have to wait for a few months until I can afford one though frown

No, it can't and won't. All it sends is track names and it's completely anonymous. You're safe, don't worry.

Apple not switching to entirely DRM free was a disapointment which i think we all expected!

I don't really get why music providers are selling their stuff with DRM on anyway, because they're throwing away sales among the more "tech savvy".
