Play.com Launch PlayDigital Music Download Store

They're all at it. After Amazon announced that they'll be launching a UK-based music download store, now Play.com are going to launch PlayDigital - a DRM-free digital music download store.

Top selling 100 single tracks will cost just 65p (14p cheaper than iTUnes) and other ones 70p (9p cheaper). Albums will cost £6.99 for the top 100 sellers list, whilst other albums, it appears, will be priced according to demand.

This is part of a shift away from DRM-music according to Managing director of 7digital, Ben Drury whos said that non-drm was out-selling DRM music at a ratio of four to one!

Bring it on!
