Market research firm Jupiter Research announced that it expects MP3 player shipments to continue to grow almost 50 percent per year for the next 3 years, with this year's shipments to top out around 3.5 million. The company said that demand for hard drive-based MP3 players like the iPod will outstrip demand for lower capacity flash memory-based models beginning next year. 2006 is the year that Jupiter Research said MP3 players will establish "a critical mass of users that will help spur digital music sales." The comments come as part of a new report entitled "Portable Music Device Forecast, 2002 - 2008."

iTunes User Sues Apple For Only Letting

iTunes User Sues Apple For Only Letting
Music Play On The iPod 01/05/2005 10:30 PM
Well, this should be interesting. An "unhappy" iTunes user is now suing Apple for antitrust violations, claiming that they broke antitrust laws by only allowing their music to play on iPods -- blocking out other music players from the market. It's unlikely that he'll win the lawsuit, and honestly, it sounds more like a setup by an Apple competitor than just some individual who feels wronged. The guy in question says he was "forced" to buy an iPod in order to make use of the music he bought on iTunes, but the courts will likely point out that he could have gone to a competing online music store. Of course, what this really highlights is how some of these copy protection issues are building fragmented worlds. How would people react if the CDs they bought at Tower Records could only play on Tower-branded radios? Thanks to the way the industry views intellectual property online, the end result is a lot of competing separate worlds, which actively discourages use.

Breakfast between Global Leaders for
Tomorrow, Social Entrepreneurs and
Religious Leaders

Breakfast between Global Leaders for
Tomorrow, Social Entrepreneurs and
Religious Leaders 01/22/2004 06:59 AM

This morning, we had a breakfast between the Global Leaders for Tomorrow, Social Entrepreneurs and Religious Leaders. I got a great table with a broad range of people from developing nations, religious leaders, economists, and entrepreneurs.

We started out the discussion talking about the nature of money. We talked about how greed and the idea that more money means more happiness is compulsive behavior and the notion that more money makes you more happy may hold true in developing nations, but is not necessarily true in developed nations. We talked about how this notion of more money means more happiness may be contributing to some of the problems in society. One representative of a global financial organization talked about how similar to the "poverty line", maybe there should be a "greed line". An economist pointed out that there was a book written about economy as a religion where the author asserted that pollution should be moved to developing nations because poor people were worth less in a purely economic model. Obviously, this is not right, and we asked the religious leaders to address some of the issues such as caring, giving and happiness.

Religions are memories of history, rich with ritual and values. They need to create a double language, one for internal dialog and another to share ideas with others. One point I made was that many religions were designed for environments where people were still struggling to survive and the focus was on rituals and believes for such an environment. Many religions focused keeping people alive rather than providing them with a primary religious experience. For environments where the struggle to survive is not as big of an issue, it might be that religions need to help support people more with things such as their obsessions and ethics.

It was noted that people who live in developing nations still needed money and that it was important. However, it was pointed out that many of the economic values have a detrimental effect on developing nations such as promoting crime. It was also noted that many churches in developing nations focus on promotion economic values. (Join the church, get rich.) The notion of sharing and sacrifice which are very important values that religions promote are often subverted to raise money for the churches.

David Green of Project Impact in India talked about how he performs cataract surgery in India. He provides 1/3 of the procedures for free, 1/3 for a low cost and 1/3 for a high price. The rich pay the high price for first class service, but the basic operation is the same. He is able to subsidize the operation for the poor and still make money. He is so successful that instead of paying $300 for the lenses, he was able to create a manufacturing operation and lower the cost to $4 a lens and has become the second largest manufacturer in the world. He provided this as an example of a good economic model can provide a great deal of good.

Switched to iTunes + iPod

Switched to iTunes + iPod 12/22/2004 01:35 AM

I've been playing around with my new iPod lately trying to figure out what all the fuss is about, and I have to admit that the hype is justified. I've been attached to Windows Media Player for quite a while and it wasn't easy to give it up, but the combination of iTunes + iPod is very slick and the user interface is extremely simple (note to self: you could learn a lot from Apple's UI work).

What's interesting is how using iTunes has changed my music buying habits. In the past I've always bought complete CDs, but now I'm purchasing individual songs via iTunes instead. In the last few weeks I've bought a ton of songs - but no albums. I now have an eclectic assortment of songs that I'm trying to figure out how to best arrange into playlists.

For example, here's my first try at an iMix playlist. Yes, I know - it's a weird set of songs (Danzig and Johnny Cash don't usually go well together), but I actually enjoy the mix. Oh, and I originally had Frank Zappa's "Echidna's Arf (Of You)" as the last track, but as far as iTunes is concerned, Zappa doesn't exist (anyone from Zappa.com listening?).

iTunes Music Store

iTunes Music Store 07/05/2004 02:15 PM

I used the iTunes Music Store for the first time today. I actually didn't want to install it, but Apple is bundling it with QuickTime these days, so you have to get one to get the other. Then my wife, Annie, heard about it, and she wanted to try it.

It was a great experience. It's pretty much a matter of creating an account, finding a song, then clicking "Buy Song." You can even surpress the "Do you really want this song?" warning so you can just click with wild abandon, racking up $0.99 charges right and left.

The real test came when I taught Annie how to use it (because, you know, you can never have enough Celine Dion). She took to it right away. The search has a spellcheck feature, which is handy when trying to spell "Alanis Morrissette," and the idea of double-clicking a song to hear a clip is very intutive. Annie doesn't know the names of any of the songs she likes, but she knows what they sound like, so she just kept double-clicking until she heard what she wanted, then she hit "Buy Song."

The only glitch we ran into was that we first fired it up under my Windows account, logging into iTunes as Annie. Now, when we open iTunes under Annie's Windows account, again logging in to iTunes under her account, none of the "Purchased Music" we bought under my Windows account is there. For some reason, the purchased music is tied to a specific Windows account, not an iTunes account. I'm not quite sure what to do about this — if you know, drop me a line.

Some music isn't available as single tracks, for some reason. For instance, Annie wanted a song off the De-lovely soundtrack, but it was marked "Album Only." Depressing, but I'm sure there's some high-powered business reason for it.

We haven't tryed burning anything to a CD yet, but when I do, I'll let you all know how it goes. Hats off to Apple — iTunes is a great piece of work.
