What does DRM-free EMI on iTunes mean to me?

I buy very little music that would be considered modern or popular -
my music library is almost entirely classical, with a smattering of
60's & 70's rock, filk, folk, new age and celtic. I use a non-iPod
MP3 player synced to a Windows box (I keep meaning to move that to a
Linux box) - on the Windows box I'm currently using Multimedia Jukebox
for my music player.

If I'm looking to buy music, I'm mostly interested in buying classical
tracks that I don't already have. The couple of times I've gone
looking, I haven't found any good sources - iTunes had _maybe_ a few
dozen classical tracks the last time I looked, some other services had
up to a hundred. I'm mostly given up - my choices are pirated tracks,
or buying CD's, so I mostly buy.

So, what does EMI going DRM-free on iTunes mean to me? Is it likely
to be worth trying iTunes again sometime this summer? My impression
from reading their press release is "No" - it looks like this is all
stuff that iTunes is currently carrying, just a 'better' version.

Anyone want to recommend a service that actually has a good
selection of classical music? I'm currently in search of (on an
on-again, off-gain basis) copies of Beethoven's Choral Fantasy and
Brahms' German Requiem.
