DRM free music
eMusic has been offering DRM free music for quite a while now. Of course, there are some reasons not to like eMusic. Mainly, their selection is limited to independent labels and they use a subscription model where you pay a fixed amount per month for a fixed amount of use-em-or-lose-em downloads. Still, the tracks on eMusic are less expensive than even Amazon's tracks.
As for iTunes, I never bothered and I don't believe that Steve Jobs actually cares about DRM. That whole saga just seemed like an excuse for Apple to raise their prices.
