Pardon the ignorance, but I just bought a song from Itunes and it asked if I would like the DRM free version which is $1.29 instead of the$.99. Is this new?

It's not new, but fairly recent. It happened a few months ago when they updated iTunes to 7.2.

Thanks, obviously I have not bought a song off of Itunes since the update.

DRM-free tracks, as an added bonus, are also encoded at a higher bit rate. So, you get better sound quality, although I think most people would be hard-pressed to discern the difference.
