Apple steals music... Apple released the Apple iTunes Music Store this past week. I downloaded my first song the next day. It's slick, it's simple to use, and the list of artist will expand quickly as independents are signed and artist scramble to catch the next wave in music distribution. Over 200,000 songs in the first day - thats half the total number of songs downloaded on the other commercial music services all last year! The next step is for Apple to get the windows version of iTunes released ASAP! They also need to move aggressively to get AOL to add the store to their services. After all Warner Records sells in the store, so why not have AOL add it. Apple could be poised to sweep the rug out from under Microsoft's dreams of taking control of the music distribution with their proprietary Windows Media Format. Apple's simple DRM model gives so much more control to the user then any other legal distribution model (Please quit your crying people. DRM is going stay, it's just a matter of how painful it is). Once again, APPLE ROCKS!!...mj 10:01:05 PM
