Dell and UMG team up for DRM-free music

Dell and UMG team up for DRM-free music
Dell has announced that it has signed an agreement with Universal Music Group to offer either 50 or 100 DRM-free songs bundled with new PCs sold by the vendor.

The price is a nice discount as well with 50 songs costing $25 USD and 100 songs costing only $45 USD in addition to the price of the laptop or desktop PC.



A couple catches however are that the bundles aren't available on Dell XPS One desktops, Inspiron Mini 9 laptops, or on systems selling with Linux distributions or 64-bit Windows XP or Vista.

All the music will be in MP3 form and DRM-free and can be played back on any portable player. The current library is somewhat small but Dell says it is looking to expand.

    It's there to stimulate the switch. It looks like the customers are finally getting what they want. DRM free music at sane prices.

    Now someone needs to do the same thing with movies/tv shows. But it might be a blue moon before we see that.
