You wo n’t need software package any longer to buy song from iTunes . iTunes will just be on the connection — you’ll be able to buy and listen straight , through hunting engines or other sites , much like you could with Lala now . Or if you ’re not intimate with it , retrieve about the way Amazon is embed on the cyberspace , and think that for music , through iTunes . It ’s a kind of ubiquitousness would make the biggest music store in the man even more influential and intractable , a fact that ’s not lost on record recording label .
It ’s an uprooting of the entire iTunes model : Not only would you corrupt song and manage your iTunes library through the web , iTunes could transfer to have a serious streaming component , away from “ download to own , ” as Apple ’s been evaluate the impingement of Pandora and Lala on iTunes , though the WSJ is more doubtful on this point .
Also , you may very well be able to put your music in the cloud . fundamentally , you would own right field to listen to the song anytime and anywhere , not just the digital filing cabinet you downloaded . There ’s also a chance that Apple will employ Lala ’s power to scan your current medicine depository library , equalize it up with the file on their host , and give you access to the birdcall you already own anywhere via its host .
Two gently tangential item : Lala Chairman Bill Nguyen seems to be heavily involved in the unexampled elbow grease , cook joint calls to the labels with Apple ’s Eddie Cue , indicating it ’s a classic Apple tech - and - brain acquisition , and the WSJ backs up the previously rumored $ 80 million pricepoint , enunciate Apple paid $ 85 million for Lala .
This whole iTunes revamp could happen as early as next class , although there ’s look to be some pushback from a medicine diligence already cow by Apple ’s strength . But Cupertino ’s been hold the major label on life support for so long , there ’s just not much they can do about it . [ WSJ ]
