Apple dropped it's price on DRM-free MP3's to $0.99 (some DRM tracks are $0.89, see ArsTechnica, WSJ) via iTunes Plus, just like all their other tracks; and Amazon (from $0.89 and up) and WalMart ($0.94/ea) are starting to offer DRM-free MP3 downloads - what is this world coming to!

Never mind that Apple embeds your name in their DRM-free tracks - they're 256 kbps instead of the normal +DRM 128 kbps iTunes tracks.  Amazon's are 256 vbr, fyi.
