Users of Windows-based iPods who download and install Apple's new software have discovered it disables their Musicmatch Inc. Jukebox application, which ships with Windows-based iPods. Musicmatch has notified customers of the problem, calling it a "serious software conflict" in a recent e-mail.

songs last week 05/05/2004 12:29 PM
Apple said Wednesday that its iTunes Music Store set a new download record of 3.3 million songs in the week since the third-generation store was introduced. 500,000 of those downloads came in the form of free songs from popular commercial artists made available as part of a "Free Song of the Day" promotion to celebrate the store's one-year anniversary. Last week Apple said the iTunes Music Store currently sells 2.7 million songs per week. Subtracting the free songs, this suggests that the store's weekly business may have been slightly more brisk than usual.

Apple Won't Get Real

Apple Won't Get Real 04/16/2004 12:52 PM
Apple snubs an overture from RealNetworks to partner up. Bad idea.

Real vs Apple

Real vs Apple 08/18/2004 08:29 AM
RealNetworks have upped the stakes in the growing war between itself and Apple. The launch of the Freedom of Music Choice website (complete with a logo featuring the iPod as a padlock) pulls no punches, and directly attacks Apple’s refusal to open up it’s FairPlay DRM used on the iPod.

It’s not enough to denounce crime and lock up criminals, say the social scientists. We must consider the root causes of crime. Which brings us to Apple Computer Inc., which is encouraging people to steal digital music files, and undermining its own success to boot.

This vitriol follows the trading of blows last week over Real’s Harmony technology — a crude hack which allows songs purchased from the Real Music Store to be played on an iPod. Apple’s response was predictably angry and swift :

We strongly caution Real and their customers that when we update our iPod software from time to time it is highly likely that Real’s Harmony technology will cease to work with current and future iPods.

It seems obvious to me that Real have lost considerable market share since the success of iTunes Music Store and the iPod, and are playing their last card — portraying itself as the ‘voice of the public’ and ‘champion of free choice’. You could understand this if were actually true — but it’s 100% PR bullshit, and only serves to make them look increasingly desperate. The fact is Apple make far superior software and offer a far superior experience to Real. That is why people are choosing Apple over Real, no other reason. More reading :

Apple And Real -- A Few Thoughts

Apple And Real -- A Few Thoughts 04/27/2004 12:29 AM
As Apple continually tells us, iTunes is only there to break even. The real goal is to sell more iPods. If that logic is true, then letting Real sell tunes for the iPod should be a good idea. By Richard Menta, p2pnet.net (via MyAppleMenu)
Editor's Notes :
Does iPod need iTunes? It is true that iTunes is a loss-leader in order to sell iPods. But Apple does need iTunes not because so that iPod users can buy tunes, but because iPod users can buy tunes in a high-quality and consistent manner. How can Real add value? My opinion is that it can't without adding inconsistencies. For example, by varying the DRM terms, or by allowing non-labels to sell music. But Steve Jobs do not want to sacrifies quality and consistency unless he's forced to. And he's not being forced to today. (Well, except for the bit about hell being frozed over.)

Real Networks has undercut Apple by slashing their music downloads to 49 cents a song. In comparison to Apple’s 99 cents a song, it is a big drop in price. After Real Networks said a few weeks ago that they have found a way for their songs to be played on Apple’s IPod, Steve Jobs can not be a happy camper right now….
