One of those HUGE iTMS updates this week
Just happened to check out the Just Added section of the iTMS tonight. Um, wow, that's a lot of music. I must have scrolled one page at a time for twenty minutes, just skimming the artist names. It seems there's lot of ska, reggae, and classical in the list, but that may just be my expectations that there would be more rock/pop and country in proportion to that stuff (well, maybe not relative to classical recordings). The "Various Artists" group is particularly funny. I wonder if there's a pattern to when they do these gigantic updates?
I have noticed over the past 3-4 weeks that indie labels are slowly adding their stuff to the Store, though it's not happening in big chunks like I thought. So far, Nettwerk has about 3 artists in the iTMS, Delerium being one, and they have some albums with literally one song available for download.

The "just added" section shipped out on New Music Tuesdays is not comprehensive. Apple's been adding songs at a much faster rate than that. When the indies start flooding them they'll probably continue to send out highlights every Tuesday. But since they said that they intend to seriously promote independent labels and musicians, they might go beyond that in other ways.
Not that I'd mind if my band was featured in an Apple email. 8)

Perhaps by the time iTMS for Windows debuts (late next month?) Apple will change the 200,000 to 300,000 songs.
Here's to hoping for 500,000.
