Company Apple has occupied a firm position in relation to the offer of National association of the sound recording companies of the USA (National Music Publishers’ Association, NMPA) about increase of the rate of royalties at sale of musical production through online services. In particular, NMPA suggests to increase deductions to authors with 9 to 15 % for the downloaded song.

They may be first to see the sun, but they′ve been waiting quite a while for movie rentals and purchases from the iTunes store — now that patience has paid off, as movies have now arrived in a land down under.
Aussie and
Kiwi iTunes users can purchase and rent movies to their hearts’ content. New releases on DVD will premiere day-and-date on the iTunes store at the same time as they’re on sale in physical form in the two new countries of service.
iTunes movie purchases in Australia will kick off the price tier at A$9.99 for catalog titles, A$17.99 for recent releases and A$24.99 for new
releases; rentals will be A$3.99 for library title rentals and A$5.99 for new releases. iTunes movies in New Zealand start at NZ$9.99 for catalog title purchases, NZ$17.99 for recent releases and NZ$24.99 for new releases, rentals are NZ$4.99 for library titles / NZ$6.99 for new releases. As in the US store, getting the high-def version costs an additional dollar. Rentals can be held for 30 days before you start watching and then you have 48 hours to finish (a
whole day longer than US customers? Must be the International Date Line).
Thanks to everyone who sent this in

Since switching to the Mac full-time last year, my only remaining complaint has been the abysmal (and finicky)
FLAC support in iTunes. FLAC, or Free Lossless Audio Codec, is an open source lossless compression format that offers a nice compromise betweeen storing the uncompressed music file — which is very large — and converting the file to a lossy format like MP3 or AAC. Apple has its own lossless format,
Apple Lossless, and Apple Lossless is great — but I have lots and lots of live performances archived in FLAC and haven′t wanted to spend the time
converting all those files so that I can play everything in iTunes. About 6 months ago, I pretty much gave up and started just ripping CDs in Apple Lossless and using
Max to convert favorite albums or performances.
Reader Mitchell wrote in and told us about
Fluke, which aims to be an easier way to play FLAC files in iTunes. I’ve used other
XiphQT based solutions, but none have worked as well as Fluke. Install Fluke and then open up a FLAC file with it (or drag your FLAC files to the icon) and it automatically runs a script that tricks iTunes into adding a FLAC file to the library. For the most part, tagging and even album art will be converted — though I did have to add track numbers to some of the files I tested. It isn’t as seamless as an actual FLAC player, like
Cog, but it is certainly more hassle-free than some of the other script-based solutions I′ve used in the past.
Fluke is free and available for download
here.
Thanks Mitchell!
