Tower Records will be competing with iTunes and the service won't work with the iPod. DRM in these files harms consumer choice. No service with DRM should be acceptable.

Tower Records chief marketing officer Russ Eisenman said the digital store fit perfectly with Tower's history of offering music in all formats that prevailed throughout its 45-year history. All of the music is in Microsoft's Windows Media Audio format, encoded at a higher bit rate than most other online stores to provide better audio fidelity.
