Yes, but at a price.  Songs are 30% more than songs with DRM.  You can get the same songs DRM free at Amazon for 99 cents.
People are not limited by the circumstance that they are born in. They are limited by the size of their dreams. Show them that their dreams can have no limits and in turn their accomplishments can be limitless.

When they first started offering DRM-free music from EMI, they were initially 30% more, but they later dropped them to 99 cents like the rest of their stuff.

Under their new arrangement, some songs will be 69 cents, some 99 cents and some will be $1.29.  I'm guessing that the most popular will be the most expensive. I usually get my stuff from Amazon (an added bonus is that Amazon doesn't charge state sales tax) but it's nice to have an alternative if you need it.
