Interoperability has to cover all of our digital media, including the movies we buy online. From the consumer's perspective, there is no difference! I don't understand how Jobs can be supporting DRM free content for music and not in movies and be shameless about it. Unprotected music is ok, but unprotected movies are like unprotected sex? The announcement today was a good first step, but I agree with you Jon, the battle for unprotected video is going to prove a lot harder.

Who care's who was right months ago, and what shape EMI's in. You look like you’re downplaying what’s kind of good news… Who care’s who was right months ago, and what shape EMI’s in.

This announcement definitely makes iTMS appealing to me; now if only I could shop at it. :) Same question. This announcement definitely makes iTMS appealing to me; now if only I could shop at it. :)

Video is pretty different than music right now because the video industry does not distribute 90 percent of their content DRM free; never has, and so I think they are in a pretty different situation and so I wouldn't hold the two in parallel at all. </i> according to appleinsider:

I find that a bit harsh. I'm not an apple fanboy, but I must say I find that a great move. Hhm, not a single positive word about this deal in your blogpost? I find that a bit harsh.

I notice that you've coded both PyMusique and SharpMusique, but for whatever reason, I have difficulty using the former and cannot find the source for the latter. Do you know of a currently usable (or easily fixable) interface to iTunes that will run on a Linux machine?
