Today was the MacWorld 2009 Keynote day.
Phil Schiller handled the Keynote today as opposed to Steve Jobs who is going through a patch of bad health.
iTunes received a fair bit of attention today at the Keynote. But, not in terms of technology innovation like the announcement of the Genius feature last time.
iTunes music store is going completely DRM Free! 
Here are a few more iTunes stats thrown around in the Keynote:
- iTunes has sold 6 billion songs
- iTunes holds over 10 million different tracks
- There are now over 75 million accounts on iTunes with credit cards
- Today, 8 million songs are DRM free and all 10 million will be by the end of March
You can now buy DRM free music from iTunes. You now get a ‘Create MP3 version’ when you right click on the song.
iTunes Plus
You can also get DRM Free upgrades to your existing iTunes collection through a iTunes Plus Apple Program that features songs with high quality 256 kbps AAC encoding.
Upgrading individual songs to DRM Free iTunes Plus tracks will set you back about 30 cents a song, 60 cents for a music video and $3 for most albums.
Also, iTunes Plus has now made it so that you can download songs from both WiFi or cellular network.
Other than this and the announcement of a 17″ Macbook Pro, there wasn’t much news on iPhone 3G or iPod Touch. So we were like meh!
