Lily Allen slates Apple's iTunes tactics - iPod/iTunes - Macworld UK: "British singer Lily Allen has accused Apple of bullying musicians into providing exclusive content for iTunes.
Her comments were made in a radio interview. She stated: “They won't advertise your album unless you give them extra material,” according to a report in the Wall Street Journal .
Allen claimed Apple pushed her to quickly produce a new version of a song for sale on iTunes, so she planned to give them a “rubbish remix'.
Apple shuns the typical pay-for-placement system used by high-street music retailers, which sees labels pay for good in-store placement of albums. Apple claims its stance enables it to make unbiased music recommendations. Apple iTunes VP Eddy Cue wants customers to feel that advice on music is “coming from someone who really liked it versus someone who was paid to say they liked it,” according to the Wall Street Journal report.
