iTunes Music DRM Free, but 30 cents for pre-buyers?

Apple's top marketing executive, Philip Schiller, said at the Macworld trade show Tuesday that iTunes is going absolutely DRM free, and songs would come in three pricing tiers: the price of older and less-popular songs will drop to 69 cents in April; hit songs will sell for $1.29; songs that are in moderate demand will remain at 99 cents, and most albums will remain at $9.99.

Undoubtedly its a great news for iPoders---especially for the coming iPoders, while the bad news is, according to what Apple said, users who already have an iTunes library full of music must pay a 30-cent upgrade per song, 60 cents for video upgrades, and entire albums can be upgraded for 30 percent of the album price.

We can't change the fact that every coin has two sides just as we can't stop those monopolies from robbing our heard-earned money, while at least, we could manage to exert our money more economically.

Let's do a simple maths, if you have 500 DRM iTunes songs need to upgrade, you have to pay Apple 500 X $0.30 = $150 more for DRM-free, besides the previous paid 500 X $0.99 = $495, which means you have to pay 150 + 495 = $645 for 500 songs that possibly charging $345(500 X 0.69) or $495(500 X 0.99) now, which also means you'll have at least $150-$300 spent worthlessly, let alone the other albums and video files you have.

Then you might ask if there is any way to save the unnecessary cost, my answer is, what you need is only a bucks-priced DRM removal, and that's just what I've always been doing with my DRM iTunes music. For the very DRM removal, my pick is Aimersoft Music Converter which can remove DRM music bought from iTunes, Napster, Rhapsody, Pandora, Spiral Frog etc, and convert them to MP3, M4A, WAV, WMA, OGG, APE, AC3 which support most of the popular digital players as iPhone, iPod, Zune, Creative Zen and muisc phones.
