Maybe the iTMS will have a section created in it for "the rest of us" in which any "garage band" can upload their music for maybe a low yearly fee...it would be a very Apple thing to do.
There will always be thieves, but there are fewer thieves when legit purchasing has more value than stealing. It's not all or nothing.
I agree with that. But try as I might I can't see that any of the existing online music services offer that amount of value. They might flourish for a while but they won't survive in the long run in their current form. Strip away the hype and what you've got is a music store - online. And when the novelty wears off and people realise it's more of the same old same old, the music industry's going to find itself right back where it is at the moment. Screwed.
Another interesting question associated with this is: will they produce companion hardware (as they did with ichat av in the form of the isight)? Will there be a low-cost, reasonably high quality usb/firewire audio interface box coming out of apple?
God knows, the kind of "mixing" you'd get out of the 1-channel inbuilt audio would be mildly distressing, to say the least.
Perhaps they'll encourage people to buy emagic's product, tho'.
I keep wondering if "Garage Band" could be the name of software to help small groups to get their music onto the iTunes Music store. I don't have any real reason to believe it, just thought I would toss it out there.
I have a feeling this is going to be the iTunes version of MP3.com, where anyone can put up their music for sale/download.
Mixing software would be cool (especially if it's as flexible/better than Mixman), but I just don't see it. Of course, I'd love a "Sountrack Lite" so I'd love it if GB actually is that...
I hope is has ReWire so I can use it with Reason. It looks pretty good, though. Especially considering it's either going to be free or part of iLife.. either way, it's a nice bonus app.
Seriously, the new iLife suite looks pretty sweet. Happy about the improved iPhoto capacity and speed especially, and garage band is going to be a lot of fun to play with. I'm all over it.
Did anyone notice how the new GarageBand app actually sported a new look? Last year AI reported on a new "brushed metal" appearance that was supposed to be darker, I guess that might have been it... It looked even more horrible in my eyes...

That's actually a pretty cool idea.

Yeah, but they'd have to rename it iBritney.
