NYTimes’ Technology blog reports that Apple is currently in active negotiations with music labels about providing more mobile music content on their iTunes store.

One executive quoted specifically states that “[Apple wants] a big launch in June”, presumably referring to the Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) scheduled to start on June 9th 2008. However, since negotiations only started a few weeks ago, the deals may not be in place in time for a WWDC announcement.
Apple reportedly wants to expand its Ringtone library and introduce the sale of “Answer Tones”. Answer Tones are customized sounds played to callers instead of the traditional ringing sound.

Another area of negotiation is the distribution of iTunes songs over the cellular network. For now, the iPhone allows you to purchase iTunes music only over Wi-fi networks. This had been thought to be a limitation of the slower EDGE data network, but it appears this mobile music distribution must be specifically negotiated with the record labels.

That the iPhone and iPod touch has proven itself to be one super device, one only has to look at the current list of apps already released without the official SDK.

One other thing that baffled me some time ago (before i had my own iPhone) was the iBand. iBand is a group of people who make music only whit there iPhones and iPod touches.

But what would they have been without the developers from MooCow? MooCow is the guy (Mark Terry) almost solely responsible for all the music instruments they play on there devices.

Today MooCow Music has outperformed himself again and released the MooCowMusic Band app.
I already posted some news regarding this super app, you can read about it here and here.

I installed it an boy it’s great. You have 7 instruments and an audience generator to start with.

Guitarchords 0.8 is a nice program to learn your guitar chords.
As i’m not much of a guitar player anymore, there’s not much i can say about this app.

It’s handy if you quickly need to search how to play a certain note or chord.

I just found this new little app in the repository and i thought, let’s give it a go
To be honest, i don’t really know what this app does.
My best guess is that it trains you to hear specific chords, intervals and scales.

What i did understand from it:

It plays some intervals, chords or scales from a selected instrument. eg Piano, and then let’s you chose which one it is.

I think this app is handy for the people constantly working with music or the ones that would like to recognize some music parts better(but then again, I’m no musician, if anyone of the readers can explain me what it is, please do ).

What I can tell you about Herbert von Karajan is that it was a famous Austrian orchestra and opera conductor, one of the most renowned 20th century conductors.
for more information about Herbert von Karajan, see this page.

Now let’s go back to the app, i think this app was writen by someone who greatly admires Herbert von Karajan and who also loves classical music.

Let me explain via screens.
