Autumnteeth Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 When you think about it he did just as much to shape modern music as Brian Epstein did. Delivery was key, and Jobs found a way to brin music to the masses. Prior to the ipod soundscan, billboard,and other data shows 10 x the amount of music sold piecemeal on original packaging (cd, vinyl, etc). Dont know if what he did was good for music, but hedid achieve alot in the way of delivery of music. Ipod is now a word like kleenex, kotex, and scotch tape to describe a product. Like or dislike, he was a visionary. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
