Ha! Good luck!!! FWIW, I get the idea that The Company™ doesn't want trade secrets let out, nor do they want people talking about their hiring practices, their pay scales, their benefits, or their bosses. I also get that nearly...

Yep, Apple posted the stream. Be warned though--it's boring. Pretty much Steve Jobs rocking out for a looong time (at least after iTunes 4 was demo'd).

iTunes 4 / iPod 3 / Apple Music Store

Apple has done it, the rumor sites were right. iTunes has been updated, iPods have been updated and Apple has released their new online Music Store. Erik, Jamie and Ollie have all posted comments on the new services. I don't have as much to say as they...

AppleMusic

Thoughts on the new AppleMusic service from Apple Computers. I am fairly unimpressed at the moment!

I'd say DRM will be similar to what they do on the iPod, which is oscure it to make it more difficult, but not get in the way in general. Also, I'd like to see a discount based on the number of tracks you buy. Maybe $0.99 for the first 20, then $0.89, then going all the way down to like $0.50 once you've bought 100 or something like that. Encourage people to buy more tracks.

Otherwise, Second Spin and CD Cellar (A local used store) will continue to get a majority of my money.

I'd say Apple has leaked enough to keep everyone interested and will have something huge up their sleaves, similar to the last MacWorld... maybe just one product... but it'll be there.

It's a burning question for sure, since we know that, historically, Apple is not very into DRM. They don't even require serial numbers for their operating system. What a sweet change of pace it is to install Mac OS after having to do Windows installs. (Of course, they probably figure that people have to buy their hardware to run the software, so I imagine that plays a large part in that decision.) They are more cuddly/friendly when it comes to that sort of thing than almost any other company. That's one reason people love them.

Guess we'll find out today Live coverage still going to be @ http://www.jrandomhacker.com/ (why? because we can! no ads or anything...)
