Sony has completed the DRM-free MP3 trifecta (Warner, Universal and Sony/BMG) for Amazon; they now have all the major labels, along with a significant number of indie labels, available for download.

This is clearly a move on the part of the labels to balance the field a bit against Apple’s iTunes Music Store; something that must be giving His Steveness a bit of bile to vent.

Frankly, I don’t give a dingo’s kidney what Hist Steveness vents, as long as we have a credible source of DRM-free music.  It’s been a long, painful, frustrating road but it appears that the labels have finally seen the error in their ways (treating customers like criminals) and given those of us that enjoy our digital music on something other than an iPod a marketplace.

Now, if we can just get them them to provide it with a lossless codec encoding… ;-)
