A reader (hi Dad!) asked me to talk about the value proposition of the iTunes Music Store. It’s actually a really good question, and one that deserves a longer-than-usual sort of answer. Perhaps the easiest way to talk about the value of the iTMS is to look at what it could be, as opposed to what it actually is.

I’ve decided to tackle this question in four parts. The first part will be a look at what the ultimate music store would look like, from a customer point-of-view. The second will be a look at what the ultimate music store would look like, from a recording industry point of view. The third will be a look at how well each of these groups is served by the iTMS. The fourth will be a more general summary of the iTMS in its current state.
