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.

First off, I don't have a mac. And yes, Macs used to suck. But they don't now. They are good now. The new ones are good. Still too expensive though.
I can get bad quality mp3s ripped incorrectly, many distorted on purpose, on KaZaA. Just for fun, I tried to download one song from a pop artist the other day. It took me 30 minutes on my broadband connection to find and download one of decent quality.
I'm from Canada and they think I'm slow, eh?
Gosh, I am a dope. Now it will be interesting to see if I get modded down for correcting my *own* spelling.

I know this is completely off-topic, but such as? I have never P2Ped in my computing life, and I've been using computers for fourteen years. Most of them are slow, crappy, and virus-ridden, which is why I've stayed away. But if you happen to know of some ones that aren't like that, do share.

So, which publication do you work for? I'd like to avoid reviews from people who don't know the difference between a possessive pronoun and a contraction of 'you' and 'are'.
So what's your point? At least Apple users get laid by somebody. And that's more than most Linux users (and any BSD users) can hope for.

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.

Well argued but American spelling just appears to be "dumbed down".
Only if you consider French people to be smart.
The so-called "American" spelling is the original spelling. From England.
The so-called "English" spelling is an ugly hack introduced by ponces who wanted the words to look Frenchified.
Look it up.
