When it comes to being a musician and trying to create their own music, it’s a fact that not everybody has their own recording studio with the fanciest equipment that all the professionals use. It’s just not practical for most people to have this. However, this does not mean that they should not be able to have access to some great software that allows them to create some amazing music right from their very own computer.
San Francisco – Apple (NASD: AAPL) will soon extend the length of streaming song samples available on iTunes from 30 seconds to 90 seconds, CNET News.com reported, citing a post on the blog of digital music distributor Symphonic Distribution. The longer samples will apply to songs greater than 2.5 minutes in length. Apple has reportedly been in talks with performing rights organization BMI and other groups on new licenses covering longer samples. “Some of the discussions with rights holders may still be ongoing, according to music industry sources,” CNET reports.
