When did iTunes get introduced?
iTunes was initially introduced in 2001 on January 9th
What services did it offer?
iTunes offered an legal way to download albums and singles . And upload CDs onto your personal profile.
How has it changed the music industry?
iTunes has encouraged the rise of portable music: Itunes working off Mp3's that can be then stored on portable devices such as apples ipphone or ipods or other technologies such as mobile phones ettc. This therefore does not require any CD in the process therefore that medium is wiped out.
Death by brick and mortar: This describes the idea that its becoming natural for younger generation to not have to leave there house to purchase their chosen music, also easier and have access to a much more wider genre list. This is therefore resulting in the closure of stores such as we have seen recently HMV.
Good bye album hello single:
