Apple has finally announced that iTunes is to go DRM-free, however, there are still some vociferous critics of Apple's iTunes strategy.
Ben Drury, CEO of independent online music store 7digital.com has a good point to make on Apple's DRM-free claim.
"Downloads from iTunes are still in the AAC file format regardless of whether they are DRM-free," Drury reminds TechRadar.
MP3 beats AAC
"7digital.com prides itself on offering the MP3 universal download format, which works across any iPod, MP3 player or mobile phone.
"The AAC file format is only compatible with iPods/iPhones and a limited number of other devices. So consumers who buy downloads from iTunes are still restricted to where they can play that music regardless of whether it's DRM free or not."
