\"Email Mike recently submitted a great question via email:<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been reading about the new iTunes Store selling unlocked music.  Will this music play on my Touch Diamond?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Yes it will play on a Touch Diamond, or any Windows Mobile device for that matter.  <\/p>\n

Apple has actually been selling unlocked, or DRM-free, music for many months, but the unlocked tracks were available from a few specific music labels.  Apple recently announced that it will sell only DRM-free music by April 2009; in the meantime, the company has removed DRM protection from about 80% of its current offerings.<\/p>\n

These unlocked tracks are encoded in the AAC format which will play in Windows Media Player 10 Mobile (the default WinMo media player) and in most popular third-party Windows Mobile media players<\/a>.<\/p>\n

When iTunes is 100% DRM-free, this icon will likely be retired, but for now it\u2019s the only way to tell if a song is unlocked.  <\/p>\n

These tracks are DRM-free and can play on any AAC-ready device, not just Apple\u2019s iPods or iPhones.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
