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.

Gosh, I am a dope. Now it will be interesting to see if I get modded down for correcting my *own* spelling.

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.
