In a creative and unexpected move, Stanford has teamed up with Apple  
to offer a variety of audio files, such as news, music, sports, and  
faculty lectures, available for download from the iTunes Music Store  
for free, by anyone. It's called Stanford on iTunes, and at the same  
time that some files are available to the public, course material and  
advising content is available for students connecting from within  
Stanford's network. Although the total number of tracks available is  
only a few hundred at the moment, more are being added soon,  
demonstrating exciting possibilities for a system like iTunes and the  
iPod in education.

The iTunes Music Store is becoming increasingly a misnomer for what  
is manifesting as a media delivery and sharing platform. Was this  
Steve Jobs' plan all along? In 2001 when iTunes 1.0 was first  
released, who would have guessed that universities might use it for  
courses?
