The subscription-music site Rhapsody (owned by RealNetworks (RNWK)) on Monday said it will start selling unprotected songs online as it tries to drum up sales and challenge the dominance of Apple Inc. (AAPL) and its popular iTunes service. Rhapsody previously offered consumers access to its library of 5 million songs for a monthly fee, but its service does not work on Apple's iPod. It also sold songs individually, though the music was encoded with anti-piracy DRM software. Under its new strategy, Rhapsody will sell music in an unprotected MP3 format and those songs will now be playable on an iPod or iPhone. The music will be compressed at a variable rate of 256 kilobits - double the rate used by iTunes for its DRM-encoded songs

New York - Pop culture-inspired fashion retail store chain Hot Topic plans next month to launch its own digital music store, ShockHound, which will sell music from at least three of the four major labels in MP3 format, The New York Times reported on Monday. "For us, music merchandise is where the profit is," Hot Topic president Jerry Cook told The Times. "The reason we carry CDs in the stores is that to be in a music-centered business and not have music would be a contradiction. And you can't be an online music store and not have MP3s." In addition to MP3s from a wide range of artists, the ShockHound store also expects to sell t-shirts from more than 1,000 bands, as well as music on vinyl.

In his documentary, "Music From the Inside Out," filmmaker Daniel Anker attempts to answer the unanswerable: "What is music?" He puts the question to members of the Philadelphia Orchestra. Understandably, they have a difficult time of it, but as the title points out, what Anker really wants is a sense of what music means to the people who make it, and most of the musicians approach the question from the standpoints of people for whom music is not only a calling but also a living.

Last fall a Minnesota woman was ordered by the courts to pay over $200,000 in fines in the first case of music download filesharing that went to trial. The court is now about to hear new arguments which could change the ruling in that case. The issue of contention was that the judge previously advised the jury that the woman was guilty of a crime simply for making the music available online; it didn’t matter whether or not anyone had actually downloaded the music.

Have the music labels found a way to get Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) to cave on some of their age-old requests as well as an interesting new one? The NYT’s Saul Hansell reports the Cupertino-based company is deep in “active” negotiations with major music labels to increase the range and inventory of music content available on the iPhone. Specifically, Apple wants to increase its ringtone inventory and to start selling ringback tones. It’s also hoping to hammer out an agreement on whether it can sell songs directly from the iTunes store to iPhones, via the operator’s network. But the music labels have their own list of requests, and are seeing this as their best opportunity to get Apple to relent on some of their eternal demands.

This week, online music retailer Rhapsody has launched a new DRM-free music store in the US, allowing users to download unprotected 256kbps MP3 files for $0.99 per track (or $9.99 per album). While Rhapsody is just the latest in a string of online music stores to offer DRM-free music (including Amazon's MP3 store and Apple's iTunes Plus), it bangs another nail in the coffin of DRM in the online music business. We think the move away from DRM will benefit consumers, device vendors and online music retailers, by removing one of the biggest barriers to consumer acceptance of digital music sales.
