It’s been a while since I’ve posted about Apple and music, but there’s plenty of drama going on out in the world of Apple, and it all revolves around one word: music.
To start, we have Apple’s recent announcement that iTunes will no longer be a streaming music service – for $9.99 a month, you can get 24/7 access to a library of 40 million songs.
But the announcement came with an ominous side note. This deal, called Music, will only be available to paying customers of the mobile and desktop apps, not iPhone or iPod touch users. Not only are we finding out Apple is controlling the music player on iPhones and iPads, but we are also learning that music players can be configured by our Mac and iPad brethren. Apple just left us with a power vacuum.
Apple’s deal with Universal Music is the largest recorded music deal in history, surpassing even the Facebook deal with the social networking company’s chairman, Sean Parker. In a blog post, Universal’s Rob Stringer talked about the deal, in terms of the consumers:
“We are thrilled to have reached this milestone with Apple, who has been an innovative partner for Universal for many years,” he said. “We believe that the consumer is our best customer, and that a long-term relationship with Apple will help us to continue to innovate and provide the best possible music experience for our fans around the world.”
He went on to call the deal “the culmination of a number of strategic initiatives at Universal.”
Even if consumers haven’t complained directly, this deal hasn’t been popular with labels. The RIAA has publicly stated its opposition, calling the deal “a disastrous outcome for consumers and artists.” But why?
The labels make a lot of money from selling their music to consumers for $9.99 a month. That means they sell more than 20 million CDs a year – a lot of CDs. But Apple’s new deal ac619d1d87
