    Rhapsody Opens DRM-Free Music Store, First 100,000 Albums Free

    Rhapsody, known for its subscription music service, just opened a DRM-free MP3 store. The MP3s are encoded in 256kpbs CBR, and run $.99 per track and $9.99 per album. Shoppers can preview 25 full-length tracks a month from the standard 5 million song catalog, which is extra sweet if you ask us. To kick things off, the first 100,000 sign-ups to the store until July 4th get one album for free, so give it a try and let us know how it stacks up against the big boys. UPDATE: Both versions of the Rhapsody store are now available on Verizon phones. [Rhapsody]
