Well, only the EMI-owned music. Except for the Beatles. And only if you pay an extra 30% per track. Is this finally the light at the end of the tunnel that is DRM nonsense?
i dunno, music companies will not give up without a fight.
The other major labels than EMI are already expressing opposition to this move. It certainly isn't going to spread across the industry any time soon, I think, although maybe with increasing consumer demand they may begin to relent. Sony will probably be the last to give it up.
Anyway, I'll only be convinced to use digital download services when all music is available DRM-free, and the price of an album download is around half the price of the same album on CD (after all, there's no manufacturing cost, and no retailers and distributors to take their sizeable cut). Even then, I'll still buy CDs... I just prefer to have something physical, as well as the MP3 files on my hard drive.

also all music should be available in lossless
I still buy records, I don't even usually get CDs let alone buying music online, so this doesn't affect me directly; but, DRM is a recipe for failure so I am very glad to see this happening.
