Apple and EMI announced that most of the EMI catalog will be available in iTunes by the end of the year.
The catalog will be available in iTunes at a slight premium ($1.29 vs $.99 per song). But with that you will get music at twice the quality and DRM free. I think that this is worth the extra cost.
Check out the Apple Press Release on the subject. You can also read about my earlier post on the rumor that was floating around last evening.
Thanks Apple and EMI. Hopefully this will open up soon for other labels.
