Paul McCartney releases latest album DRM-free, high quality

Sir Paul McCartney is really trying to please everybody with all these options to buy his CD. Very creative and smart business planning.

I wonder if the FLAC files are HD also? I know MP4 and WMA support 96kHz/24bit.

I wonder if no DRM will really make people buy the MP3s or if instead of CD rips on torrent sites we'll just see the official MP3s being posted?

At last! Legal DRM downloads in a variety of formats at a reasonable price. I know this album is already on the torrent sites but I've put my money where my mouth is and bought it to encourage other artists to follow suit. Let's hope the record companies see the utter madness of the moronic Neanderthal DRM mongers, consign them to the dustbin of history, and let's look forward to more new music in the form that customers want, so that customers and artists alike benefit.

Oops, I meant drm free of course :-)

I will buy this as long as there is no price difference for quality (i.e. the FLAC format being more expensive than the mp3 format). Great to see established artists embrace DRM free media.

You can get the mp3's AND the lossless files in the one download for $8.99

You can choose either flac or apple lossless - A nice option for me as all of my music is in apple lossless and it saved me the flac conversion chore.

He was always smart and obviously still is. He has the clout to make it happen. Who in their right mind would buy DRMed 128 BR music for $1/tune? Maybe the media mafiaa will learn how to make some money. What good are the DRMs? They can be taken off easy enough and there is no DRM on a CD. With pure digital audio capture you can duplicate anything that is played through a sound card. The only way you can prevent a copy is not allow then to be played on a computer.

lantrix, no I don't but then I would not buy any music that Sony would profit in. They are the worst of the worst.

Yes! Now I remember. That was a while ago. I hope they got their asses sued off. If you killed the autoload function all their work was for naught.
