We’ve just implemented a new feature on the Nueva Forma Shop that gives you up to three remaining downloads on your purchased digital music. These three remaining downloads never expire, so if your hard drive crashes and you didn’t make a backup of your tunes, you’ve got three more lives. We enjoy extending these kinds of conveniences to you in appreciation of your ongoing support. That’s why we only offer the highest quality music encoded at 320 kbps, DRM-free.

In the near future, we’ll also be providing FLAC-encoded music, which means the audio has absolutely no loss in quality, just like a CD. We’re working hard to release more tangible albums soon, and will be concentrating more on vinyl and USB rather than CD. The custom CD packaging for the Nueva Forma Social Club Vol. I is in the works, and should be available for purchase in limited edition batches next month. Please sign up for our Nueva Forma newsletter to stay in the loop about our label and artists.

Many thanks,
Nueva Forma

Last Tuesday iTunes finally decided to get their act together and ditch DRM- something Nueva Forma knew was devious and wrong from the start. So isn’t this great news? Apple is finally getting their shoes polished of all of this DRM shit. BUT, as it turns out, they’re going to have you pay to clean off their shoes. Yeah, you heard me right.

squint or click, it's up to you eagle eyes

Although this news is pretty dis-heartening, I’m really not surprised. I feel pretty bad for all of you iTunes invested folks- me not being one of them.
