The recent roll out of DRM free music on iTunes is great news for cell phone amd mobile phone users. Starting with EMI artists such as Cold Play, David Bowie and The Rolling Stones, you can now purchase a song and download it to ALL of your mobile music devices.
Previously all songs purchased on iTunes incorporated DRM (Digital Rights Management) that meant you could only install the song on your iPod.
Not only that, but the new DRM free music is a much higher quality. These DRM free songs cost a little more than the DRM version (30 cents / 20 pence), but that's the price of having a song on multiple MP3 players, Mobile Phones, and Cell Phones.
I have an iPod and iTunes account. When I logged in it gave me the option to upgrade my existing songs to the DRM free version. Obviously it only does this if there is a DRM free version available.
Worth noting that's it's not all good news. The higher quality songs are a bigger file size, so you'll end up with fewer songs on your cell phone due to memory restrictions.
