Napster Drops DRM as of Today

Today Napster said that it has finally released all six million of its tracks in the unprotected MP3 format, following up on its announcement back in January. This means that consumers can buy any song from the company for 99 cents, and then play it in their car, on their cell phone, on their iPod or other portable MP3 player, without any restrictions or the technical compatibility issues that plagued digital rights management (DRM)-encoded tracks.

The company said that all six million MP3s will also come with the appropriate album art.
