Music, audio to be heavy focus of Macworld 06

Sounds like music and audio are going to be in the spotlight at Macworld 06, according to a press release from IDG. The expo will feature a wealth of exhibits and educational sessions covering Mac music education, music-related exhibitors, a podcasting stage and the John Lennon Tour Bus - a non-profit recording studio on wheels featuring Mac hardware. The Mac music education sessions will cover Logic and GarageBand, as well as the opportunities and economy that podcasting has to offer. There's even a new Auto Show at Macworld this year, featuring cars from VW, Buick and Porsche showing off the latest in iPod and Mac auto integration.

Early bird registration is still open for Macworld, so check out the expo site for more information on dates, times and registration.

Can everyone say, ASTEROID? All this music-making stuff from Apple is great, but can we finally open up iTMS to self-publishing of a sort? Of course not. Music companies are marketers, and that would destroy them, right? We'll see...

I'm hoping for some major upgrades in Apple's music/audio apps department. Having seen Soundtrack Pro, I'd almost ditch the still-quite-complex Logic Express for it. I want something as easy as GarageBand but not as limited in terms of editing features and effects; like Soundtrack Pro, but with added multitrack and MIDI recording and the Guitar Amp Pro plugin. Surely there is a mash-up waiting to happen there - a step between GarageBand and Logic?

^^ Oh, that'd be so, so nice. Somehow I doubt it though

Did you say John Lennon. Gulp. Could it be? Dare we say it? An Apple/Apple settlement? New "music-related" content on iTunes? Surely not.
