Apple, of all the global tech companies, was the one that understood why artists make things.

A chart that weighs some ad-supported streams the same as a pay stream... encourages artists to promote free tiers to have a No. 1 record. That's great for the tech companies, but not for artists.

Most technology companies are culturally inept. They're never going to get curation right.

The media people need to have real tech people, and the tech people need media people. Otherwise, you have the 'Star Wars' bar on Tatooine with everyone fighting.

Apple Music is a big idea, and it's going to take some time to fulfill its overall dream.

You go into any recording studio in the world, and you see candles, lights, and that Apple light from a Mac.
