I have no proof for this, but my take from watching it happen was the the music labels realized that Apple's walled DRM garden was the only one that was working economically and realized how much power that gave Apple over them. The decided no DRM was better than dealing with Apple on an exclusive basis and started cutting no DRM deals with other vendors. They then went back and got rid of DRM at Apple.
