The price increase offsets the cost of the double bitrate files. That said, buying full albums will have no price increase, and since I always buy full albums, that makes me really happy – 256kbps, no DRM, and the same price.

Congrats .. It's a really nice relationship between the founder and all the members/people who help and contribute to make it a better project. Not very often have i seen a program developer that listen's so much/good what the people want/ask. Nice work allan (and the community ofcourse)

Congratulations on the well deserved award! Looking forward to an even better TextMate 2. Even though it is hard to imagine such a thing, given how awesome Textmate 1 is already.

As for EMI and ITMS: I think it is great news. I am more an album-buyer anyway, so there is no price increase. I will certainly buy more music once this happens.

I sure do wish I could devote some solid hours to making TextMate better. I'm glad we have you improving things full time.

I'm much more likely to buy albums now. I'd always been bothered by the 128 bit encoding. Double the bitrate with no DRM? Sign me up!
