Apple senior vice president of marketing Phil Schiller delivered the conference’s keynote address in place of Apple Chief Executive Steve Jobs, who earlier this week disclosed that he’s been suffering from a hormone imbalance. Apple, which traditionally uses the conference to announce its most high-profile products, said songs on iTunes will begin costing between 69 cents and $1.29 in April, based on their popularity. In addition, the company said all songs will be free of copy protections by the end of the quarter.

What this means to you

• You will be able to share music with friends, YES!
