In case you only believe things once they are in press release form, you’ll be happy to hear that Apple’s official statement re-confirms what we already confirmed yesterday: iTunes Plus DRM-free tracks will now cost 99-cents across the board. Like some of you commenters have already pointed out, competition is a sweet thing indeed. UPDATE: According to Phil at Apple 2.0, “The Upgrade My Library feature…is still charging existing customers 30% extra for DRM-free songs.” So keep an eye on that. [Apple]
