Remember eMusic? The second largest online music store hasn't been getting a whole lot of love lately, seeing as how other big music stores have recently been shedding DRM, following the model that eMusic has implemented, all along. Personally, I've always had a soft spot from the company, given said lack of DRM, their focus on independent artists (almost certainly a result of the former), their ridiculously low per-track prices, and their propensity toward free promotional downloads.

The good news for the company is that they're getting a little bit of mobile love, AT&T-style. eMusic's new over-the-air service is now incorporated into the mobile carrier's Mobile Music platform. For $7.49 a month, users get to choose five downloads (okay, this isn't that cheap) from eMusic's library of 2.7 million songs. A duplicate copy of the song is also sent to the user's PC. The service will be initially compatible with Nokia's N75 and Samsung's a717, a727, and SSYNC handsets.

The announcement is, of course, particularly intriguing, in the wake of the iPhone. Apple gave AT&T a two year contract, but the carrier doesn't seem to be too into the idea of monogamy. So, the question is, given the DRM-free nature of eMusic's tracks, will the store be compatible with Apple's shiny new handset? Given AT&T's limited rollout of compatible hands, we're guessing, um, probably not.
