Just talked to sources at Amazon and Warner Music Group about theirDRM - free MP3 retail heap . In case you were wonder , we have confirmed that Warner is not watermarking the files to keep track of them . Incidentally , Amazon was n’t aware of whether or not it would happen , say that “ in some case the label provide with audio files that they apply some watermarking to . ” Here ’s more on the catalog availability and other pressing fear :

Do n’t expect the intact Warner catalogue to be up this instant . ( Though Led Zeppelin , alongtimedigital holdout totallyis . ) It ’s a passably massive one , so Amazon is rolling it out over the next couple of days , and with newfangled subject depart up every ten arcminute . Do n’t ask everything to be the same price , either — as you probably guess , variable pricing is in period of play .

Despite Warner being one of the more reluctant label to jump on the DRM - free MP3 bandwagon , unlike Universal , Amazon ’s director of digital music Pete Baltaxe told us that Warner is “ not treating this as a test , they are making their entire catalog usable . ” Universal has offered its DRM - free tracks to some retail merchant as an experiment . disregardless of how dissimilar the Warner and Universal deals vocalise , we do n’t imagine we ’ll see tracks from either of them pop up up on iTunes anytime shortly .

Well , what about that other MP3 wallflower , Sony ? Predictably they “ ca n’t annotate on any special discussion with Sony , ” though they “ talk to all the label all the time . ” Our prediction ? With every other major recording label at the party , we doubt Sony ’s going to cry alone in the corner for too long . [ Gizmodo ]
