Radiohead’s “In Rainbows” to be DRM-free MP3s
Radiohead recently announced that fans could pick the price they’d pay for Radiohead’s new album, In Rainbows.
To check this out and support this experiment, I signed up for the download-only version and chose to pay $.99 per song, i.e., $9.90 for the 10-song album. (I used a currency-converter to figure out how much to pay in pounds.)
I just received the following e-mail indicating the download codes will be provided tomorrow morning (UK time) and the songs will be provided as DRM-Free MP3s. Nice. They have made the right choice. Again.
THANK YOU FOR ORDERING IN RAINBOWS. THIS IS AN UPDATE.
YOUR UNIQUE ACTIVATION CODE(S) WILL BE SENT OUT TOMORROW MORNING (UK TIME). THIS WILL TAKE YOU STRAIGHT TO THE DOWNLOAD AREA.
HERE IS SOME INFORMATION ABOUT THE DOWNLOAD:
