People who want to learn what students at universities such as Stanford, Berkeley, Duke and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology no longer have to enroll.
Apple's iTunes store now offers an area -- iTunes U -- with free lectures, language lessons, demonstrations, sports highlights and campus tours, the company announced Wednesday.
Stanford's provost said the partnership is part of the university's traditional effort to serve the public.
DRM-Free Music Goes Live Apple also launched a service called iTunes Plus, which lets users get music without digital-rights management software.
DRM is meant to prevent buyers from illegally sharing purchased music.
Earlier this year, Apple CEO Steve Jobs announced that record company EMI had agreed to let Apple sell music with DRM, something Jobs has pushed the industry to do.
Non-DRM tracks cost $1.29, rather than the 99 cent price for most songs, but also come in higher quality.
EMI's digital catalog includes artists such as Coldplay, The Rolling Stones, Norah Jones, Frank Sinatra, Joss Stone, Pink Floyd, John Coltrane and Paul McCartney.Labels: free college, free education, high school, scholarship, student loans, study abroad |
