The description of the Pro section at the new Apple stores suggests Apple might be making the pro version of iTunes (as FCP is to iMovie.)
"Whether you want to make great movies with Final Cut Pro, or get the most from DVD Studio Pro, or record, mix and master your own CD, this is the place."

That would be a really cool idea... Something that combined the "mixing/editing ability" of Peak or Pro Tools with the burning capability of Adaptec/Roxio Jam..
I was wondering if Roxio was going to upgrade Jam to be native in OSX and after being shrugged off by them I'm starting to think that they might be going the way of SoundJam? Maybe? If so, it would be the convincing factor to me booting up my OSX partition more than once every two weeks... 
$99 or $150 for the boxed software and I'm there...
What do you guys think?

One iWord... iMusic!
Steve let it slip during the MWSF keynote (he called iTunes "iMusic" once, but it has since been covered up on the QuickTime movie now at the Apple site. Some of us at the keynote cought it!). Now, maybe it was an honest mistake, maybe iTunes was going to be called "iMusic" at one time, but don't you think it would make more sense to have a full-featured application named "iMusic"?

This might be getting a bit petty, but "Music" sounds much more pro than "Tunes," which is more casual. And we know they were going to use iMusic as a name.
On the other hand, would they make an "iApplication" in the pro sphere? It would/will more likely be called something like Music Studio Pro. Sounds cool. There's a lot of room between iTunes and ProTools.

"[...]or record, mix and master your own CD"
What in this statement doesn't sound like iTunes? While something may be on the way, I don't think we can infer that from this statement.

To audio people, "mastering" means adding final dynamic compression (not data compression), EQ, and possibly other effects to make all the songs on a CD sound loud, "finished" and consistent in volume/timbre. This is a fairly complex and subjective affair; there are engineers who's only specialty is mastering.
Currently, one would use Jam or WaveLab and possibly some third party plug-ins to accomplish this. I wonder if this is in fact what they mean by "mastering."
