EMI has introduced a second tier price for
DRM free tracks at higher quality (256kbps vs 128),
which Apple will be distributing soon.

It's obviously being introduced in a marketing-friendly
way, but this is an interesting move as it also means
Apple will be moving away from proprietary format lock-
in (very slightly).
