I have seen the future of music and its name is iTunes
Apple's new online music-buying system is everything Napster promised to be -- cheap, easy and, best of all, legal. [Salon]

.< 11:23:39 AM >

Update: AACelerator 1.01
Updated for iTunes 4, AACelerator encodes audio files into MPEG-4 Advanced Audio Codec (AAC) audio files using QuickTime 6 Pro [MacInTouch]

Afghan deportees tied up and forced on to planes
UK: Disruptive failed asylum seekers had to be handcuffed, says Home Office. [Guardian Unlimited]

How clever

Apple's music strikes a chord
The iTunes Music Store takes online music distribution to another level, but what it will mean for file swapping and for Windows users when the service extends to PCs? [CNET News.com]
Just in case you thought this wasn't being taken seriously . . . CNET has a series of articles on Apple's new music store.


.< 12:53:22 AM >

Open Letter To Steve Jobs 'If you want the ultimate online service, the content should flow both ways. It should be just as easy for my band (if I had one at the moment) to provide content to sell via iMusic as it is for me to buy it. Provide the tools for us to post our music for sale, along with the album covers and glam shots, and collect payment, just like you do for Sting and U2. We do all the work, you provide the venue and the mechanism for sales, we provide the content.'
Cool idea and who knows? It could happen. Just off the top of my head . . . Apple could set up a scheme where there's a standard deal for anyone who wants to dump their stuff in there and there's a category for unsigned bands. The trick will be managing the losers show title their stuff to return hits so that people looking for something else will stumble across their stuff. This would be consumer hostile and not in Apple's interest.
