Nokia takes on iTunes in digital music market - Yahoo! News

Nokia takes on iTunes in digital music market - Yahoo! News

     Going to http://www.ovi.com and downloading the press release, it gives a bit more information than the Yahoo! article, but what neither one talks about is DRM on the tracks that they sell.  I couldn't find a reference to that any where.  Although, for the price that they will be selling each track (1 Euro = approx. 1.40 dollars) you would like to think it is DRM free, like the EMI catalog on iTunes (1.29 dollars per track).  Also, there was no mention about bitrate per track.
    One thing I did see that I thought was interesting was the availability of a PC Streaming service for those who subscribe.  This would be a pretty nice deal for those with Media Center PC's, but I would imagine that it will be limited to Windows only, as if almost every other subscription service.
