Stand Up on iTunes Music Store

By Waldo Jaquith
For the first time, Dave Matthews Band is making an album available via Apple's iTunes. Stand Up is prominently featured on the iTunes Music Store, and is currently the service's top-selling album. This also represents a first for iTMS -- the album comes with a digital booklet (containing the content found in the album's liner notes) and a promotional video. Both extras require iTunes 4.8, which was released yesterday, just in time for Stand Up's debut. The album costs, unusually, $12, more than iTMS' $10 standard price -- presumably, DMB carries enough clout to not only push out a new iTunes release, but get an extra couple of bucks per album.
