iTunes Indie Meeting Notes
BWJones writes "The CD baby! site contains notes taken from the indie music meeting recently held at Apple. Interesting statistics revealed were that there are about 500k songs/week being downloaded from the iTunes Music store and that 45% of songs are being purchased as albums. Other interesting items of note are that Apple is treating everyone as equvalents in that all labels receive equal treatment with the same deal, the same agreements and you work with the same team of people. What's more is that Apple cuts a check EVERY MONTH which is huge for the smaller labels." Wired has another story about iTunes which notes that what Jobs taketh away, the community is bringing back.
I mean really, who could have realistically predicted this would happen a year ago? Apple, snobby uppity en vogue computer company who makes shiny, sexy, expensive computers..... now stands to build a new empire built on selling music online. I mean really. I never saw it coming! Mac user 4 ever :)
Are you Richard Simmons?
What's so bad about being lazy? What if there was a war and nobody showed up?
