Just as Jeff Rehbach suggests in his recent MiddBlog comment, “why not use services such as iTunes, or advertising-supported services such as Ruckus, or subscribe for just a couple dollars a month to MyTracks.” Well, iTunes just made that a little easier today announcing DRM-free songs — a full 10 million songs worth. What does that mean? Well, in the past, most iTunes songs could only be used on iPods and with iTunes proprietary software. Now you can bring your songs anywhere and share them with anyone (no more giving your friends the password to your iTunes account). But don’t break out the champagne just yet because it also comes with variable pricing and an additional $0.30 per song to upgrade your existing library. Oh and there’s a new 17-inch MacBook Pro, iPhoto, and iWork to round out the Apple updates.

MiddBlog wants to know: will DRM-free yet variably-priced music make you buy more or less songs from iTunes?
