Apple is close to a deal with the giants of world music

It's been almost a month since we deal with Apple's interest to diversify its range of music content. At that time, there was the rumor - still unconfirmed - that the company would launch a music streaming service with the suggestive name iCloud. If this really happens, the good news is that the giants of the music industry should be with Steve Jobs in this endeavor.


The latest information on the subject realize already sealed a deal with EMI Group, which owns the marketing rights for Katy Perry, Lady Antebellum and other successful bands. But do not stop there: Apple would have their cake and eat it too to close with Universal Music and Sony Music.

There remains only one major label, Warner Music, which was sold earlier this month for the paltry sum of $ 3.3 billion for a large investor.

  Warner Music is the studio responsible for Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Linkin Park, Mars and other friends. That is, would be another important partner of Apple.

To complete the apple company recently filed a patent that discusses how to synchronize a media file (read: a song) to distant servers (read: iTunes servers). Everything suggests that the iCloud is even close to being announced.
