Apple is in negotiations with the big record companies to offer an unlimited subscription model
Posted March 19, 2008 — in Music News
The Financial Times is reporting that Apple is in negotiations with the big record companies to offer an unlimited subscription model. The deal would give customers access to the entire iTunes music Library in exchange for a premium price for its iPod and iPhone devices.
Sources say the deal is hinged on a dispute over the price Apple would be willing to pay for access to the labels’ libraries.
Research had shown that consumers would pay a premium of up to $100 for unlimited access to music for the lifetime of the device, or a monthly fee of $7-$8 for a subscription model.
I wonder what the chances are of any of that money arriving in the pockets of the artists

“I wonder what the chances are of any of that money arriving in the pockets of the artists”
That’s more of a lable thing as opposed to an Apple thing.

Hopefully the spam will cease. There are also some odd pingbacks in an older post.
