Music Companies Won't Play Ball With Apple

Poetic justice?

Music Companies Won't Play Ball With Apple - Gee, I Wonder Why?

Once Bitten...

So unpleasant was Apple as a partner that the media business even invented a verb for what Apple did to the music companies - they call it "getting iTuned," and they've vowed not to let it happen to them again.

I suspect the same thing is what's holding up Apple's push into TV, as movie and TV guys saw what Apple did to the music business and would like very much to avoid that happening to them, thank you very much.

As many others have pointed out, once you start using Spotify (in my case) or any of the other new music-streaming services, you don't really want to go back to iTunes. And you don't need to.

I have to agree except I prefer Pandora or Slacker. The only time I open iTunes any more is to look up a song, find what album it's on or listen to previews. iTunes is a great music search engine. Thanks Apple,

I had no idea. Apple is sinking their own  ship.

BTW, How do I put my MP3 collection onto my iPhone? It is an iPhone 4 I bought last a fortnight ago from a local AT&T store.
Rather that iTunes, I would rather just load my MP3 albums onto the iPhone. How do I do that?
I though best not to ask  Apple.
