iPod + iTunes Unlimited Package

Today, out of the corner of my eye, I noticed on Macworld a stunned, as for me, a note about the idea of ​​Apple in a new way to promote iPod and music from iTunes. Yabloko is already negotiating with major record companies about the model of distribution of tracks on the principle of "how much fit" or "at least fill up" :)

The idea is that customers who buy an iPod or iPhone at a premium price will have full (lifelong?) Access to all the tracks in the iTunes catalog! Apple is already bringing to life all sorts of subscriptions to music or video from a fixed fee for a certain period of time. Now they want to promote unlimited access to iTunes for a fixed fee on the market.

While at the talks, according to the Financial Times, we are talking about a $ 20 premium premium to the standard price of an iPod or iPhone for the iTunes Unlimited package, which will be deducted to labels. Agree that this is not very much and is acceptable. Especially against the price of the iPhone or iPod Touch. Nokia is also working on a similar idea, which was discussed with Universal Music back in December. The truth then it was about a different amount of deductions - $ 80.

Putting one hand on the heart and the other on the wallet, I can only wish Apple good luck in these, I am sure, not easy negotiations with the sharks of the music business. Painfully attractive price will be! A picture of the post just wanted to express my optimism and quiet joy that in general we are talking about this option. Well, we'll see.
