Hey, truth is stranger than fiction. I have a friend who grew up in USA city in Japan. Specifically founded to put "Made in USA" on stuff. Kid you not. 😎

I can't believe no one thought of this (or at least posted it).
"Made in iTunes" refers to a list of artists, who's musical success was caused by the iTMS. Basically, any artist who was not very big when they put their music collection on iTMS, but then grew a following through iTMS and is now very popular. Jobs made a reference to how many artists have found their target audience and success through iTunes Music Store not too long ago. Many of these artists were free downloads at one point.

6.0.5
First of all, please remember that the when the Music Store is updated for a new version of iTunes, older versions see the features too, but can't use them. I think this is a slip of a new iTunes feature in the next version of iTunes: 6.0.5, which was already announced. 6.0.5 will add support for shoe integration, and this thing too.
The fact that there was a slip leads me to beleive that iTunes 6.0.5 will be released next tuesday.

I still think it's goofy that statements like this can be made without any sarcasm and half-jokes, because, in fact, a music application IS integrating with your shoe.
Strange truths.

Claris Records
How about "Claris Records" 😉 😀
I don't know the details well enough to say, but it sounded like apple, as a company, would have to remain a retail operation in the music biz ... and not just forego using the apple logo if/when moving into record label operations.
in other words, because the company is 'apple' branded, they would have to start a separate company under a different name, with no formal ties to apple, to do their record label operations... ? Or maybe it could be a company like Filemaker, a "wholly owned subsidiary of apple computer"?
Would love to know the real scoop on this from someone who knows the legal side of the settlement... 🙂
(Of course as someone else noted, apple can't threaten the existing labels or the labels will just pull the catalog out from under them. So ultimately the next phase of cutting out the label/middleman may have to come from elsewhere (a digital downloading CDbaby?) without ties to traditional labels...)

-Could be a section where anyone can upload their home made music.
-Could be a more complex version of iMix.. instead of just selecting the songs into a list, maybe we're getting some basic, non destructive, sound mixing controls in iTunes which can be exported/published to other users together with selected songs.

The Italian iTMS said "Fatto da iTunes" I don't really know Italian, but I do know some other Roman languages, and none of them translate da/de/... with "in", it's more like "from"
Can anyone translate?
EDIT: google translate also says from, but we would really need someone who knows more than one meaning of a word
When I print a CD jewel case insert with iTunes, it say "Made in iTunes" on the bottom. What's the big deal?

The spanish translation does mean "in"
a lot of timees clothes might say "hecho en china" made in china. I'm 100% sure of this
Still the case?...
That's assuming the old music supply chain model still stands. If the bands aren't 'signed' or 'promoted' in the traditional sense and do their own production (on Macs?) iTunes is still just the distribution medium it has always claimed to be. No conflict, just change.
What's the use of an Apple Corp when everyone wants canned puree?

I think the Italian phrase would translate to "made by iTunes".
A Google search for the phrase "made in iTunes" shows that things made in iTunes are:
1) playlists
2) changes
3) equalizer settings
A Google search for the phrase "made by iTunes" shows that things that are made by iTunes are:
1) smart playlists
2) CD(R)s
3) files
4) MP3s
5) errors
6) money
7) queries/requests
My guess is that soon to this list will be added:
8) albums
Peace

Here's what it is going to be..
Certain European contries are going to demand iPods change to meet certain wireless/electrical standards..Also at the same time Apple may have to open up iTunes/iPods protected format..
Certain kinds of protected aac format songs purchased from iTunes..
Soon,if those standards take effect,people will be able to buy the song with something other than an iPod.When that happens and folks use iTunes to load the song directly to a differenr mp3 player the read out on that player will say "Made In iTunes"
you heard it here first 😉

Perhaps this was a reference to that little known app iTunes Producer.
iTunes Producer is a free software application that allows you to prepare your music for submission to iTunes. Use it to encode your music into AAC format; enter album, song, and artwork information; and send all your prepared files directly to Apple for consideration.
