I thought the cheaper iTunes downloads are still FairPlay protected AACs and only the $1.29 downloads are DRM free.



They dropped the price of DRM-free tracks to be the same as DRMed tracks way back, and during the first quarter of last year they removed DRM from all of the songs in their library.

Some music videos are still DRMed, but all songs are DRM-free 256 KBps AACs for 99 cents.


No. iTunes went DRM free nearly a year ago. You can’t buy any music with DRM from iTunes even if you wanted to. (That doesn’t apply to some music videos and all other video content as well as iPhone apps.)
