LONDON, England (AP) -- Breaking from the rest of the recording industry, EMI Group said Monday it will begin selling songs online that are free of copy-protection technology through Apple Inc.'s iTunes Store. The deal, however, doesn't include music from the label's biggest act, The Beatles.
ITunes customers will soon be able to buy songs by the Rolling Stones, Norah Jones, Coldplay and other top-selling artists for $1.29, or 30 cents more than the copy-protected version. The premium tunes also will be offered in a higher quality than the 99-cent tracks.
This is a pretty big step forward for iTunes. Congratulations, Steve Jobs!

PS: I apologize for the lag in posting over the past couple days. I've been very busy lately, and planned on posting something extra special today to make up for it, but it turned out to be more than one evening's worth of work. It should go up tommorrow after I've completed it. See ya then!
