This means that Amazon will be selling music from three of the four major labels that can be played on any MP3 player, including the iPod and Zune series.
Back in February when Apple's chief executive tried calling on record companies to drop DRM, Warner's chairman considered abandoning DRM as "Completely without logic or merit" due to games and movies both already carrying copy protection measures, so it seems like they have realised that selling music with DRM is actually not a bad idea after all. It is unclear at this time if Warner will offer its music through other services such as iTunes without DRM, although there is a rumour that the company was seeking to negotiate such a deal with iTunes.
Now this just leaves Sony BMG, one of the last four major labels to stick with DRM. At the moment, the only sign of Sony BMG to test out DRM-free music is through an expected promotion early next year where it plans to experiment with selling MP3s.
