`
`Second Generation Online Music Store Available Today for Mac & Windows Users
`
`SAN FRANCISCO—October 16, 2003—Apple® today launched the second generation of its revolutionary I'l'unes® Music Store
`for both Mac® and Windows users. The new iTu nes Music Store offers Windows users the same online music store that Mac
`users love—with the same music catalog, the same personal use rights and the same 99 cents—per—song pricing. Since its
`launch six months ago, music fans have purchased and downloaded more than 13 million songs from the iTunes Music Store,
`making it the number one download music service in the world. With music from all five major music companies and over 200
`independent music labels, the iTunes Music Store catalog is growing every day and will offer more than 400,000 songs by the
`end of October.
`
`“The iTunes Music Store has revolutionized the way people legally buy music online, and now it’s available to tens of millions
`more music love rs with iTu nes for Windows," said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “While our competitors haven‘t even come close to
`matching our first generation, we’re already releasing the second generation of the iTu nes Music Store for Mac and Windows.”
`
`Apple offers the unbeatable combination of the award—winning iTu nes digital jukebox software, the pioneering iTu nes Music
`Store and the market—leading iPod"’I digital music player, providing music lovers with a seamless experience for buying,
`managing and listening to their digital music collections anywhere. Windows iPod users can now use their iPod with the
`award —winning iTunes digital jukebox software and enjoy the best digital music experience on any platform. iTu nes for
`Windows includes all the same great features that made it the best digital jukebox software for the Mac—a free download with
`no hidden charges for extra features, MP3 and pristine quality AAC encoding from audio CD5, Smart Playlists, over 250 free
`Internet radio stations, and the ability to burn custom playlists to CDs and MP3 CDs, burn content to DVDs to back—up an
`entire music collection and share music between computers via RendezvousTM over any network, cross—platform.
`
`Apple today also announced an online music alliance with America Online to provide instant, one—click registration to the
`iTunes Music Store for AOL’s more than 25 million U.S. members starting later this quarter. America Online will integrate links
`to iTunes artists, albums and songs throughout its leading music site, AOL Music, which will give AOL members the option to
`link directly to the specific iTunes Music Store page to preview and buy music as they browse and read music news and
`reviews. Apple will offer selections of AOL’s popular, original content such as Sessions@AOL and BroadBAND Rocks! through
`the iTunes Music Store.
`
`The new iTunes Music Store features exclusive tracks from more than 60 artists, including new exclusive tracks announced
`today from Black Eyed Peas, Mary]. Blige, Coldplay, The Eagles, The Grateful Dead, Ben Harper, Yo—Yo Ma, Sarah McLachlan,
`R.E.M., The Rolling Stones, Sting and Luther Vandross. The iTunes Music Store also debuted todaya new Celebrity Playlist
`feature with personal playlists created by several popular featured artists including Michelle Branch, Dave Brubeck, Billy
`Corgan, Counting Crows, Sheryl Crow, Missy Elliott, Ben Folds, Herbie Hancock, jackJohnson, Kenna, Wynton Marsalis, Moby,
`Mark Ronson, Seal, Sting and Michael Stipe. In addition, the new iTunes Music Store features album reviews, artist biographies
`and essentials lists of must—have albums for artists.
`
`The new iTunes Music Store offers another industry first—Apple‘s innovative and patent—pending online “Allowance" feature
`which allows parents to automatically deposit funds into their kids' iTunes Music Store account every month. This is the first
`time that parents can provide an alternative to illegal file sharing to their children. The new iTunes Music Store also offers
`online gift certificates that can be sent to friends and family via e—mail to give the gift of music to anyone.
`
`In another pioneering move, the new iTu nes Music Store now offers more than 5,000 audiobooks which can be purchased with
`one click and listened to on any Mac or Windows computer as well as on iPods. iTunes is the only digital jukebox that allows
`users to seamlessly purchase audiobooks in the same easy way that they purchase music. iTunes audiobooks are encoded
`with superior audio quality and feature New York Times bestsellers and popular public radio programs from NPR and PR]. In
`addition, the iTunes Music Store offers exclusive content not found digitally anywhere else, including “Whipping Mek,’ an
`original story by Brian Herbert and bestselling novelist Kevin]. Anderson that bridges the Legends of Dune trilogy novels “The
`ButlerianJihad" and “The Machine Crusade."
`
`The iTunes Music Store continues to offer Apple’s legendary ease of use, making it the easiest way to discover, purchase and
`download music online for both Mac and Windows. Users can easily search the entire music store to instantly locate any song
