Green Day and Red Hot Chili Peppers on iTMS

Thursday December 11, 2003 10:49 pm PST by Arnold Kim
Both Green Day and (some) Red Hot Chili Peppers have appeared on Apple's iTunes Music Store.



While we don't normally report on band appearances on iTunes, both of these bands were previously reported as bands that were unwilling to agree to Apple's iTunes Music Store terms.



Specifically there were concerns about allowing the sale of individual songs off of albums -- rather then the album as a collective unit.



Admittedly, the Red Hot Chili Peppers' album is a Greatest Hits collection and may not represent a change in policy for the band. However, as more and more online music stores make their way into the market, bands may be pressured into participating in digital music distribution.

Not sure when Green Day were added.

The Reuter's article was in July... so perhaps sometime in between. ;)

Someone enlighten me with the html please


In iTMS, find any link to the song, album or artist you want to link to. Then right-click or CTRL-click and select "Copy iTunes Music Store URL".

This URL will work with Safari or Explorer when pasted or as a link in a Web page or email.

Very cool indeed.
