Napster claims to have the largest selection of music among online music services, with 6 million tracks, and is making all them available for purchase in standard MP3 format. The DRM-free tracks cost $0.99 and albums cost $9.95, which is comparable with Apple 's iTunes Plus DRM-free songs; Apple claims to have 2 million such tracks available. The Apple DRM-free tracks are also in the less-compatible AAC format, which Windows Media Player can't handle. Both companies' DRM-free files are encoded at a high-quality, 256Kbps bitrate.

DRM sucks redux: Microsoft to nuke MSN Music DRM keys

Customers who have purchased music from Microsoft's now-defunct MSN Music store are now facing a decision they never anticipated making: commit to which computers (and OS) they want to authorize forever, or give up access to the music they paid for. Why? Because Microsoft has decided that it's done supporting the service and will be turning off the MSN Music license servers by the end of this summer.
