Yahoo Working on DRM-Free Music Store: Report. This isn't a big surprise: Yahoo (NSDQ: YHOO) has said that it is looking to retool its online music efforts and has been exploring all kinds of options, including from what we hear, some major acquisitions or equity joint ventures in the space. Now AP reports that it is is in early discussions with labels to offer MP3s-format, DRM-free service, for download or free as part of an ad-supported service.
Yahoo was the first major music service to start offering MP3 downloads on a trial basis, in fall 2006. These current talks are preliminary, and any major changes or launch of a service may come later this year. Amazon.com (NSDQ: AMZN) and others have started MP3 format music offering in the last year, after all four music labels had a change of heart on DRM...eMusic has been offering MP3-format music downloads for a while now.
