Okay, so you've heard that EMI Group will be selling its music DRM-free on Apple's iTunes. But that probably doesn't tell you whether your favorite artist's music will be available, since, if you're like me, you never pay attention to what studio handles which artists. Which is why I'm posting this list, direct from EMI's site.
All I can say is this: Finally, free from the chains of DRM ... Ms. Shirley Bassey!
