	ITunes - WikiMac - a Wikia wiki
		iTunes is an application programme made by Apple Computer intended to play, organise and buy music files (it is also a common name for iTunes Music Store).
		Although the first release of iTunes was very similar to SoundJam MP (some features were removed such as the ability to use interface skins and broadcast audio over the Internet), Apple have added a number of significant features in subsequent versions.
		iTunes stores metadata about the audio files in two files which are equal in content, though not in format.

	ITunes Music Store - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		On 15 June 2004, the iTunes Music Store was launched in France, Germany, and the United Kingdom.

		The iTunes Music Store was launched in Australia on 25 October 2005.

	ITunes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		iTunes originally had a brushed metal interface, but with the introduction of iTunes 5.0, it now has a new, thinner interface commonly referred to as "plastic", "light metal" (as opposed to the heavier "Brushed Metal"), and "dark unified" (based on the Unified look from Mac OS X v10.4, but darker).
		Video support in iTunes is limited: while videos are distinguished from audio in the Library by a small icon resembling a TV or display, they are still grouped with normal music and organized by the same musical categories (such as "album" and "composer").
		Some complain that the tight integration of the iTunes Music Store with iTunes makes the sold music inaccessible to users who use operating systems other than Mac OS X or Microsoft Windows such as the Linux operating system, for which no version of iTunes is available.

	Australian iTunes overshadows briefing: ZDNet Australia: News: Business
		Music analyst Phil Tripp said Apple would not introduce iTunes in the Australian market until all the deals with partners are signed.
		He said iTunes now take up 70 percent of the overall market share in the 15 countries where iTunes is available.
		He believes that the iPod shuffle will not have a positive or negative impact to the local Australian music stores since the available music sold online is not compatible with the Apple format.

	iTunes 4, is Apple stupid or courageous? (kottke.org)
		They obviously realise that you can't stop people moving music around like this, but the bandwidth restrictions (both in terms of clients, and by making it a live stream) mean they're willing to let this one pass.
		music purchased from the itune music stire is not mp3, its an AAC format using mpeg layer 4.
		On the other hand, iTunes has a single manufacturer in control of how it works (Apple), has had recent massive publicity (iTunes Music Store), and is only supposed to play, stream or buy music, not transfer files "illegally".

	Howstuffworks "The iTunes Store"
		At the iTunes Store, you can find more than 3.5 million songs, 20,000 audiobooks, thousands of music videos, tens of thousands of podcasts, feature films, TV shows, iPod video games and CD album art.
		Exchanges related to browsing content and sampling songs happens in simple HTTP (hypertext transfer protocol) through a proxy server, which is a lower level server that sits between your computer and the main iTunes Web servers.
		The iTunes Music Store is composed of XML-based pages, lots of them encrypted using 128-bit AES in CBC mode.

	Apple Music Service goes Live! \| MetaFilter (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Under this scheme, that's $3,000 worth of music, which to my crowd of young, Napster-weaned, under-employed children of the recession is still a hunk of money that they would never have laid down had they actually been required to pay it.
		This means that any time you do something with a CD with music copyrighted, whoever owns the copyright could bitch you out in court if they disagreed with how you used their music.
		Not that it would matter for Apple's music service, but AAC is supported by defaut in the most recent release of winamp 2.x.

	Metallica Music On iTunes Music Store \| News @ Ultimate-Guitar.Com
		In addition, the band was not on board for the launch of the iTunes Music Store in 2003, refusing to sell their songs individually.
		Itunes has digital booklets, so the art factor is covered, and with encoding and other such things, the quality is the same, sometimes better.
		Having their music on itunes helps promote and gets them more people at their shows, which equals more money.

	JHymn Info and Help
		I personally love shopping for music at the iTunes Music Store (I have nearly 900 legally-purchased songs so far, at the time of this writing), I'm happy to pay for the music I get, and I wish Apple all the success in the world at making legal music downloads a viable, profitable business.
		This option gives you the ability to shorten file names (as well as the names of artist and album folders that may be created to store your files) and to simplify the character set used for folder and file names so that the resulting files will have the greatest cross-platform compatibility.
		Apple may have ways of marking files as store purchases that no one contributing to hymn-project.org has yet discovered, and any such undiscovered markers could mean, although I hope it is unlikely, that files which you once thought were completely freed from DRM suddenly become unplayable.

	Boing Boing: Steve Jobs (?): Apple discards information transmitted by iTunes
		Michael did some protocol analysis of the information that the MiniStore sends to Apple and discovered that every time he clicked a new song, iTunes transmits the song title and artist, as well as his personal, six-digit iTunes identifier.
		This explicit disclosure is not made on the official iTunes page (there is an oblique reference to the MiniStore there, but nothing about data-collection).
		He logged into his account, then quit iTunes (to make sure the update was written to the.plist file), and found a cookie with an 8-digit identifier as well, labeled as X-Dsid.

		The transition of iTunes Music Store purchases to any device is already possible, as MDN has explained.
		Every music store I've been in has signs posted at the counter stating that refunds are given on unopened CD's only.
		Now all of a sudden, other online stores are now capable of selling music to iPod owners and users of other players could then purchase from iTunes Music Store provided Apple dropped their DRM.

		It would be super sweet if you could buy music for someone else at the iTunes store.
		I bet people are, at some point, going to reverse-engineer the protocol, though I don't see anything wrong with iTunes (of course, people could probably then build a free software/open source version usable on other *nixes).
		I presume they are not stored in iTunes itself for many practical reasons (hehe) but I can't find where..

		One important caveat is that mt-daapd cannot broadcast aac DRM files that have been purchased from the iTunes music store and are digitally protected.
		To test this, open an iTunes client attached to the network, and you will note a new blue entry titled mt-daapd on the left-hand side between the Music Store and 90's Music.
		It is an incredibly reliable and efficient method of providing music across the local network that has been made possible by an army of developers and enthusiasts in the Linux community.

	DreamHost Blog » iTunes Music Sore
		I’ve only used iTunes music store a couple of times (I prefer physical CDs), but I found that the DRM was ridiculously easy to get around.
		according to someone who works on itunes, re-downloading the music you bought is considered “rebroadcasting” by the music companies, and they charge apple a fee for that.
		iTunes Store features thousands of indie artists who release their material without a label as a middle man. Just because the big labels work with iTunes doesn’t mean they own the store.

		According to notices that Apple has been purportedly been sending around to its various content partners for the iTunes store, it doesn't seem like EMI will be alone in its newfound DRM-free status for long.
		This rumor is just about as old as iTunes itself, and while it has remained fairly dormant due to Steve's insistence on maintaining the oh-so-lucrative existing model, the subscription-based iTunes question has somehow surfaced again.
		Update: The EU Commission is now saying that Apple's multi-country store approach is indeed being "imposed on Apple by the major record companies." Of course, the majors have come off the ropes swinging by denying any breach of law.

		I have iTunes running on the iMac, and the iTunes Music Store seems to work through the web proxy (I can search, browse, and listen to previews).
		For some reason, iTunes could not reach Apple to set up the account (something like, "Could not connect to the Music Store.").

	MacUser: iTunes Store: downloading music, saving the environment
		Here’s something Greenpeace never really thought about: Apple’s iTunes Store is reducing waste, reducing the manufacture of petroleum-based plastics, and reducing the effects transportation has on the environment.
		Every time you purchase music from the iTunes Store, you are preventing the manufacture of a CD, which, according to a blog entry entitled the Apple iTunes Store Environmental Impact:
		Not only does an online music purchase stop you from driving to Walmart to buy a CD, but the CD doesn’t need to be trucked around the globe from the manufacturing plant to reach Walmart in the first place.

	A first look at iTunes RSS extensions
		They don't imagine finding RSS in the wild and adding it to the iTunes store, instead they expect people to create RSS with the express purpose of lodging it with iTunes.
		Categorisation within the iTunes store is handled by the itunes:category element.
		What could have been a useful and reusable addition to the world of RSS is really rendered only fit for the single use of adding content into Apple's own iTunes store.

		If you do get someone who will actually help you, there is very little they can do seeing as they don't have access to the Music Store accounts.

		It's not just an iTunes 6 issue as I've been getting the same errors downloading music from iTunes 5.

		The hacker was ultimately acquitted of the charges a year later after a Norwegian court found no evidence that he had used his code to produce or watch illegal copies of DVDs.

		As for the iTunes store being available to all PC users, I think that will be a given.
		Apr 30th, 2003, 08:14 PM Since the iTunes music store uses http, I'd imagine iTunes is using WebCore (or a modified version of WebCore) to display some of the UI.
		When we read all about it in the future, I think it will be the labels that will look upon the Apple Music Store as a major turning point for their industry.

		Get the "url" by drag-and-drop or copy (to a text document) from within the Apple Music Store in iTunes.

		Once it's embedded in a website, clicking on that url (in my case, the entire album cover in the nav bar of the homepage of my blog) opens iTunes 4.1 on any platform, accesses the Music Store, and displays the album for sampling or purchasing.
