Hints of 'iTunes Live Stream' Service Found in iTunes 10.1

[ArcAngel66]

Not doing any analysis here... but some things I observed.

It says "Announcement from iTunes" ... Not about, for, regarding, etc. Who knows if Im looking at it the wrong way or what, but maybe it isn't even about iTunes, or about it as much as we think.

iTunes, the actual program, has a banner up just like the Apple website. So whatever it is, you should be able to watch/access/etc it from within iTunes.

The four clocks HAVE to mean something. How can "You'll never forget" tie into the world/time/etc?

Never seen that before. Is there a way to access that from your phone?

Havent tried on my iPad yet. Its just quicktime embedded. Works great on my actual computer though. I am able to stream my entire library anywhere.

I think it's going to be live concerts etc

Recently Les Mis (west end musical) held a 25th anniversary concert & it became the first ever to be beamed live to Cinemas around the world they also used it for the DVD

Maybe Apple have done a deal or brought the streaming company

It's the future for concerts imagine all those people who couldn't get GAGA tickets or Bon Jovi etc streaming it at home to iTunes then airplaying it to there apple TVs

That would excite me elemensly and be an excuse for an apple tv so my good lady could see the Take That concert !!!

I guess its a neat idea, but watching a concert is nowhere near actually being there to experience the crowd in person.

Though I guess I'm just not interested in big stadium concerts where you can't see anything anyway.

I think the best part of seeing it live is actually seeing the band play and not listening to the computer make up for crappy musicianship.

It's really quite simple. Look at the Apple home page - four clocks, four members of the Beatles. The whole "streaming iTunes" thing is a red herring.

You heard it here first.

Very Intuitive.

if you have kids then chances are you can't go. look at Bruce Springsteen's career, the low point was around the time when most of his fan base was raising kids

and if the price is right, it will be better than paying the ridiculous price of tickets today. i remember when i paid $50 to see Metallica and GnR together

 

[mikechan1234]

no one cares.

LOL agreed

Lossless downloads! At last!

That would be awesome! Also the ability to recognize flac format. I know Apple has their own version of lossless, but to add flac recognition would be something I (and others) would love.

didn't Michael Jackson own the beatle's catalog? now that they are monetizing him to pay off his debts maybe they finally got the online rights?

Jobs "for All in '12"

Steve will declare his run for the Oval office.

 

[mac88]

Mark me down as another one who doesn't think it is the Beatles... BUT the conspiracy theorist in me does think that the hands on the four clocks kind of resemble the cover of Help!

That's a pretty good guess. Kind of reminds me of the cover also.

Work for the IRS?

I hope they announce they are killing Ping.

 

[elppa]

A justin.tv competitor maybe?

 

[SBlue1]

all these speculations, its like watching a thriller

 

[Mattie Num Nums]

Steve will declare his run for the Oval office.

That would scare the crap out of me.

 

[tigres]

Everything announces is "big" "huge" "magical" "unbelievable" "the first", even though most of the time, it's just cool.

Most will be disappointed (us followers) the public will perceive it as Apple promotes it.

Billboard Bets Beatles

Just passing along that Billboard speculates that it will be the addition of the Beatles.

Their article notes "after a day of phone calls, e-mails and cryptic messages, Billboard.biz is sticking its neck out and saying this is what we're going to hear tomorrow" and "the sources in the past that quashed any rumors of an impending Beatles launch are today very quiet, and strangely so." The article also speculates, as we have on here, about the Beatle-esque wording and clock placement.

Figured I'd share, as it was speculation coming from the music world, not the tech world. Do with it as you will.

ok.... and thats suposed to be exciting.......

Hey Apple, offering a paid subscription service is neither exciting or going to change my life one iota.

If you don't offer wireless synch or the ability to stream my library to my phone anywhere, I don't care.

Well spoken sir

Didn't Yoko Ono recently come out and reiterate her claim that The Beatles would never be on iTunes ?

 

[Yvan256]

Beatles?

In my opinion, the Beatles being available on iTunes may be an event, but not enough to warrant an announcement and an Apple.com front page banner.

It's not like their music has never been available anywhere else, from 8-tracks to vinyls to cassettes to CDs... Being also available as AAC files is not an event.

 

[Vanarak19]

Youll never forget = a subscription media service. No matter what computer you go to, you will always have your music to listen to, meaning youll nver forget a song or the words, EVER!

And maybe....youll never forget to backup your library again, because APPLE has it!

For Apple it is. #1 Jobs loves the Beatles #2 Apple will make a $4!7 load of money.
