Apple gathers Stones, and will sell iTunes in Japan
A Bloomberg newswire article, via The International Herald Tribune, reports that:
Scoring a coup over its online music rivals, Apple Computer said Thursday that it had reached an exclusive agreement to offer all of the Rolling Stones' songs online for the first time.
Apple also started an iTunes online music store in Japan, which will offer more than 1 million songs from 15 Japanese record companies. Steve Jobs, Apple's chief executive, made the announcement at a news conference in Tokyo which featured a performance by the Grammy award-winning singer Beck. Ninety percent of the songs on iTunes Japan will cost ¥150, or $1.35, with the remainder priced at ¥200. The Mora online music store, backed by Sony, charges ¥150 to ¥370.
