Real Networks' US based download service Rhapsody is the latest to go DRM free. The digital music service will, from today, offer its five million strong catalogue in MP3 format without any digital rights management technology. As much previously reported, the last of the major record companies agreed to start selling their music without DRM at the start of the year, mainly so they were able to sign up to Amazon's new US download store, which is MP3 only. Other download stores have been busy moving over to iPod compatible MP3s, and Rhapsody, a joint venture between Real and MTV, is the latest to do so.
