Here are some interesting facts and figures from Macworld…other than the big news of course, which was that iTunes announced a price change and that copyright protection was removed.
The other interesting items?…
* iTunes has now sold six billion songs (it crossed the 5 billion mark last June).
* Over 10 million different tracks are available on iTunes.
* Starting today, 8 million songs are DRM-free, and all 10 million will be DRM free by the end of March.
* There are now over 75 million accounts on iTunes linked to credit cards.
* In fiscal year 2008, Apple sold 9.7 million Macs.
* Mac sales grew twice as fast as the overall PC market.
The last billion songs took about five and half months to sell, which was the same pace more or less that it took Apple to get to its fourth billion (January, 2008) and fifth billion songs (June, 2008).
