New Apple Music Service - Non-MP3, Label-Approved?

It looks like Apple may be announcing shortly a new music service for Mac/iPod owners, using label-approved music and non-mp3 format. Argh.

Apple had so much going for it – the whole digital hub thing, iTunes, iPod. Do they know it was MP3 support that made iTunes so frikkin popular? I wonder if they will continue to support MP3? I guess we'll see what happens.
