Apple Might Give Infinite Music For One Price

with one comment

A recent Yahoo News article discussed the possibility of Apple allowing customers the ability to access the entire iTunes online store’s musical library for one flat fee or a smaller monthly fee for ipod and iphone users willing to pay a premium.  This interesting proposition would set Apple to bridge the gap between the two types of online musical sales companies; one being single songs/single album sales, and the second being monthly fee infinite use dealers.  Such an act would certainly be revolutionary as well as semi-monopolisitc, yet this news article does not touch on this.

The article is quite short.  The article said Apple was not available for immediate comment.  In this case it might has been a better decision to wait for a comment (as long as that would not be weeks or months from now) instead of printing a114 word, 4 paragraph, uninformative piece that merely leaves the audience in question.  The article seems more like a vague press release, a quick advertisement for Apple, instead of a piece of informative journalism.

  1. I guess Apple and others want to make money off what you can do to your iPod. I read this story at school and was shocked at the lengths people go to make their iPod fashionable
