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.

Firesign Theatre's "Don't Crush That Dwarf, Hand Me the Pliers" is a two-track album. $1.98 for the entire thing.
Sorry, it's sold album-only for $9.99, not $1.98. I'm sure Tubular Bells would be sold the same way.
