Notes from the iTMS 1-year anniversary conference call

This morning's "iTunes Music Store Anniversary Conference Call" with Apple CEO Steve Jobs provided a routine recap of the company's music store operations, objectives, and expectations for the following year. A list of the most interesting segments from the meeting include:

Since the introduction of iTunes 4.5 this morning, 1,000 users have already published their music via iMix and there have been 5,000 votes on those mixes.
Apple expects the iTunes Music Store to arrive in Europe 'later this year.'
Apple believes that radio playlists will further enable users to locate and purchase songs they've heard on the radio.
According to Jobs, the record labels never asked Apple to allow iTunes downloads to play on any other device.
Contrary to circulating media reports, Jobs believes album prices on the iTMS are, on average, going downward rather than upward. Jobs further stated that Apple will continue to push the $0.99 song model
Apple expects HP to ship 8 million copies of iTunes this year.
Apple is always talking to other companies about partnerships â€” "we're all ears all the time."
Jobs said he expects the iTMS to have over 1 million songs by the end of the year.
Jobs downplayed subscription-based online music services, saying users want to 'own,' not 'rent,' their songs.
Although Apple fell short of its original 1st year goal, the company is now selling tunes at a rate of more than 140 million a year or 2.7 million per week. Jobs noted that this number is well beyond what anyone would have predicted.
Apple plans to stay focused on the fact that people are buying iPods for music.
