Apple Wants More Mobile Music From Labels

As part of Apple’s efforts to improve on the shortcomings of its popular iPhone, the company has approached some of the major music labels to try to expand the variety of ringtones and other musical features available on the device, several label executives said last week. Bits Blog reports.

“They want a big launch in June,” said one label executive familiar with the discussions. That executive said that a deal may come after June 9, when Apple Chief Executive Steve Jobs speaks to the company’s developers conference, a logical date for the introduction of the next generation of iPhone.

An Apple spokesman declined to comment on the company’s plans."
