iTunes is a digital media player application distributed by Apple. It is compatible with Microsoft Windows and Mac Operating Systems, and includes a built-in online music store named the iTunes Store. In addition to archiving and playing audio and video content on the computer, iTunes is also used to load media files onto Apple's iPod and iPhone.
At the 2009 MacWorld Expo, Apple announced that it would be doing away with DRM (Digital Rights Management) music on iTunes and that it would also be moving to a variable pricing structure, including offering downloads at .69, .99 and 1.29.Billboard: iTunes Dumps DRM, Adds Variable Pricing (January 6, 2009) The changes took effect on April 7, 2009.Breitbart: Changes take effect in Apple's...
