“As former CEO and co-founder of Apple, Steve Jobs helped create products and technology that transformed the way we consume music, TV, movies, and books. A creative visionary, Jobs’ innovations such as the iPod and its counterpart, the online iTunes store, revolutionized the industry and how music was distributed and purchased.”
Steve Jobs pioneered the move to bring songs and tracks on iTunes Store for a very nominal price, advocating that this, inevitably, will be the future of music. While many opposed his idea initially, nearly all of them came about to accept it as the perfect solution both for the users as well as the producers. Jobs was able to the link the two through iTunes, embedding music deep within a technology he and Apple created. It was truly a marvellous achievement which paved the path for many future innovations for music.
