That is a rip to have to repay a 1/3 of what you have already paid.
That's not true. The DRM free used to be more with iTunes plus. Then all iTunes plus tracks came down to 99¢.

But, now all will go DRM free... the price will depend on the publishers wishes. There will be a three tier pricing...

69¢, 99¢, $1.29 depending on if it is back catalog, current or popular. ALL three price tiers will be drm free.

Also it will still be AAC so you have to convert if you have non-Apple DMP.
