I'd have more interest in Universal trying to expand the list of music partners if I thought they weren't just trying for more DRM. Here's the jist, from Reuters:

Universal Music Group, the world's largest music company, has declined to sign a long-term deal with Apple Inc.'s iTunes music store, leaving open the possibility for exclusive deals with other services, an industry source said on Sunday.

Wake me when they renounce DRM. Until then, sign me up for a huge yawn.
