Mac Monday: Apple Acquires "lala" Streaming Service
Considering that iTunes and Cover Flow were originated by independent companies that were later purchased by Apple and integrated into one program, it should come as no surprise that the next iTunes update is coming in the form of a takeover. The current target is streaming music site "lala" whose unique approach allows a single free sample, cheap streaming subscription, or outright mp3 purchase of a huge variety of songs. Add in robust support for user uploads of original material as well as the capacity to stream your home music library to a mobile terminal, and the picture of the new iTunes starts to take shape.
Apple's persistence in leading the charge for digital delivery is evident in its reputation as the #1 music retailer in the US, and they maintain that spot with continual innovation. Unfortunately for the consumer, as software advances, so too must the hardware to support it. Student Experts is an invaluable resource for maintaining your system in prime condition, and managing software and hardware upgrades.
