Apple: There's No $10,000 iTunes LP Charge
Following up on allegations made by an indie label that Apple charges $10,000 for an iTunes LP and wouldn't even allow indie labels access to the program, an iTunes spokesperson responded to Music Week with the following statement:
“There is no production fee charged by Apple. We're releasing the open specs for iTunes LP soon, allowing both major and indie labels to create their own.”
Fake crisis averted?

Looks like Badmofo63 called it yesterday.
Good news. I wonder now what the process will be to get an LP into the iTMS. You can "side-load" music, so it is not as big of a deal, but obviously anybody actually selling their music will want to be in the store. Will it be more like a music submission, or have an App-like review process?
