Apple announced today the expansion of iTunes Plus to 2 million songs including artists from Sub Pop, Nettwerk, Beggars Group, IODA, The Orchard and many others, along with EMIs digital catalog. iTunes Plus songs have been discounted to $.99 each (from $1.29 each).
The announcement comes after Apple quietly began lowering prices of its DRM-free songs to $.99. Arstechnica had reported at the time that Apple was in the midst of expanding its catalog to include indie artists as well as EMI.
