CD Baby does MP3 downloads without DRM

There was quite a lot of publicity earlier this year, when Apple struck a deal with EMI to sell their entire music collection without DRM (copy protection: digital rights management) on iTunes. And I have mentioned a couple of times, that you can buy albums without DRM from magnatune at a price which you choose.

I noticed yesterday that CD Baby also offers high-quality DRM-free downloads of albums in MP3 format. The nice thing is, the artist sets the price and gets 91% of that price passed on to them by CD Baby, who only retain 9% to pay for the bandwidth. The albums are mostly priced at around $15, which makes them a great deal for all the parties involved.
