Apple's Music Event takes place today at 10am PDT (1pm EDT).

[*]Apple Retail Stores will be showing the event live in select stores.
[*]Satellite Dish owners can tune in at these coordinates
[*]Live web coverage will take place here on MacRumors.com
[*]Live coverage and discussion will also take place on our Internet Relay Chat (IRC) Channel. Those unfamiliar with IRC may download our Mac OS X MRChat1.0.1 client (800k) which will automatically connect you to the proper channel. More advanced IRC channel users may use server: irc.krono.net, channel: #macrumors, #macrumors2 or #macrumors3. #macrumors will be "moderated" during the live event, with all coverage relayed automatically to #macrumors2 and #macrumors3. Those channels, however, will remain open for general discussion.

Remember to read the most recent rumors... a number of interesting items have popped up on the past 24 hours:

[*]Apple's iTunes Music Store and Pepsi?
[*]'iPod: Hot Accessories!' Confirmed.
[*]iTunes 4.1, iPod Peripherals - Mic and Image Card Reader?

MacRumors readers have also put together a list of recommended iTunes songs that may interest both old and new users of the iTunes Music Store.

Update: iTunes Music Store is down.

Hey! Help! I disconnected from MRChat, quit the application, and went to lunch. Now when I try to reconnect, I get:

Looking up irc.krono.net...
Connecting to irc.krono.net...

ERROR :Closing Link: ---Personal Info Removed--- (Connection timed out)
*** Disconnected.

I'm new to this ('No, really?'), and any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Rendezvous on Windows

Rumors are saying that iTunes should support song sharing between Windows and OS X.
That means Rendez-vous would be supported on Windows by Apple?

I found it. Go to the prefs and check "support time zones" (or similar). Then on the top right of the window, you can change the city and time zone.

Switch to L.A., set 10 am "iTMS Announcement" and switch back. Voila, your appointment has been moved to the appropriate time!

Nice feature!

I'd definitely hope so! Rendezvous is simply Apple's name for their implementation of the ZeroConf standard.

Looking forward to Win iTunes -- I love the app on the Mac, and will be all too pleased to be able to use it when I'm using a PC.

... and that's even without taking the Music Store into account. Things'll be even better when that's launched over here!
 
Public Radio says Windows iTunes for sure.

On a financial show on public radio, (Morning Edition's finance segment) they were talking as if iTunes for Windows had already been announced (not "if", but "now that"...) I thought maybe they announced early!

I wonder if maybe I'm listening to a live feed of a show that wasn't supposed to be played live. (As in: This radio show wasn't supposed to be aired until AFTER 10AM, so Apple let them talk about it, but for some reason, my station is playing it early.)

look for yourself

The itunes music store is unavailable right now, a message in itunes store homepage.

I was going to buy some songs so Steve can anounce more downloads numbers but I will have to wait until after the music event

Where here on Macrumors.com will this be covered?

I mean which page or which message board do I need to keep refreshing to follow?

And can't someone who has a satillite feed re-stream just the audio somewhere, or is that against Apple's rules? I'd love to be able to just listen to it while I work.

Yeah, you would need Apple's written permission to be able to do that, so you won't see anyone doing that.

"Any broadcast or re-transmission of this telecast without the express written consent of Major League Baseball is strictly prohibited." :D
 
Nice work, Steve Jobs! These announcements were much as I'd hoped: For Windows, the same iTunes store, the same iTunes software, the same iPod usage, and the same licensing.

The Pepsi tie-in is nice news, but I wish it was for cans, not just bottles. (And I hope the Los Angeles supermarket strike is over by next February, since lately in L.A. you can hardly get into a supermarket to buy Pepsi!) No sign of the promo at the Pepsi web site yet.

The AOL coup is great too. All those users will have to do is click, and Apple makes money.

I love the quote: iTunes is "probably the best Windows application ever written". Gee, what about Solitaire?

No surprise that Steve favors Hillary Clinton, Robin Williams, and the Grateful Dead. But I hope conservatives will buy music too.

Wasn't this the same Mick Jagger who helped launch Windows 95 a few years back? (Remember those commercials with the "Start Me Up" song that conveniently left out the "you make a grown man cry" line? :) ) Is Mick now a convert, or does he just take anybody's money?
 
why negative

why is it everytime something cool is rumored or announced like today, there are always a few people who mark the story as negative?
