EMI Offers Downloadable Music -- 9:27 am CST, Update by A.T. Hun

EMI has announced a plan to offer downloadable music. Unlike similar systems, the music you download is yours forever, not just until your subscription runs out. They also promise "the technical capability to burn a limited number of personal copies and the flexibility to import recordings to portable devices." No word if the "limited number" means you can burn it a limited number of times or if there is a limited number of tracks you may burn. They will even release tracks before the album hits stores. We'll have to see what their pricing will be before I pass judgment. It's good to see that the record industry may finally be waking up. Thanks Slashdot.
