Apple recently announced that they will be going DRM free on all music which is fantastic news for us all.  The other announcement is that there will be variable pricing, most likely $0.69, $0.99, and $1.29.  Without knowing for sure, this seems like a deal Apple struck with the record industries that have wanted variable pricing for quite sometime, but I will take it if it’s DRM free!

This is a really cool program that analyzes your iTunes play list and pulls corresponding play lists from Youtube. At first I thought that this was redundant because I already paid for the polished higher bit rate iTunes copy of the song until I looked into the concept behind Sonic Swap.

The idea isn’t to listen to lower quality versions of your own library. It’s to share your play lists with your friends or other people on the Internet. It’s a great way to let people get to know you and it’s a great way to find new music! Give it a go and check out all your friends iTunes play lists!
