I don't hear the sound (yet) of this strange new feature, but I do hear the sound of heads rolling somewhere in the far off distance...
Independent artists can already submit their music to itunes. They don't need to go through CD Baby or anything. This new section could just be a reference to these artists who are not associated with a record label.
Peace said: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
This is one of the more plausible interpretations I've read.
Whatever those graphics pertain to, it's obviously something of significant interest.

I haven't read throuhg all this, so it may have been said, but couldn't it just be a section for iTunes Originals, or rather a new name for iTunes Originals?

That's about the simplest explanation I've read in this thread, and probably the most plausable one. Because, in science, when there is more than one solution, the simplest is often the right one.
It's not about iTunes 7, it's just a new name to make things simple, that got changed a bit too soon in certain countries.
However, I do hope it's more than that, as we all do, I guess
Oh man, how do I hope that Apple sets up some easy way to get unsigned bands into iTMS... they could take a larger cut of the $1 and STILL leave more money for the artist. It would give us a HUGE potential of new, fresh, RIAA free music to listen to, and hopefully steer ermerging bands from signing record deals.
Only thing I can think of that would make this an issue would be people trying to rip CDs and put them onto iTMS and sell them... it'd be hard to get the man power together to police something like that, and it'd suck if Apple got sued for aiding copyright infringement.
