Apple's latest, Garageband is a music editing tool. The tool offers some (royalty) free music, and the ability to publish the creativity you produce. CC-less, so far.

Apple now seems to be positioned at every step in the music process:
Make the Music (GarageBand)
Distribute the Music (iTunes Music Store)
Play the Music (iPod)
How soon before GarageBand integrates with the iTunes Music Store so users can self publish their latest creation and completely bypass the music labels?
Guinness in a bottle? Brilliant!
Brilliant!
I imagine quite a while as Apple make a point of telling the world how they don't want no crappy stinkin' independent artists on iTMS.
:)
Yup, no independent artists in the iTunes Music Store…
:)
Actually, other companies already have similar programs but they haven't been as good at marketing them as Apple has. Perhaps Apple can come up with a way for you to mix your own music, market the hell out of it, sell out to a record label, have them bastardize your music and show you a picture of your erstwhile cd on a $1.99 clearance bin as proof of your mediocrity. Now that would be something new.
Have they clarified that the loops that come with GarageBand and the Jam Pack can be redistributed?
In their promotional materials, they call the loops "royalty-free," which implies at least limited royalty-free distribution rights. I expect that Apple will provide a license similar to other music loop or stock photo collections.
Hopefully GarageBand will be as extensible (via plug-ins) as iPhoto and iMovie are. A CC plug-in would be very cool. Not as cool as Apple putting it in themselves...but cool none the less.

Is GarageBand Jam Pack like what you had in mind?
Dennis, not exactly. While the Jam Pack does show that you can add instruments and effects, I'm thinking more of something the changes the operation of the program. Adding something that it couldn't do before. There is a plug-in for iPhoto that will export to the PHP-based Gallery software. All from the iPhoto interface. Something more like that, only tailored to assisting people with putting a (cc) on/in their work.
Perhaps you're thinking of something along the lines of "rewire" technology, which allows music applications to communicate with each other, and is standard in professional-level music creation applications. The absence of rewire in GarageBand is conspicuous among musicians, who figure that Apple wants to distinguish between its consumer-oriented GarageBand, and its professional-oriented music applications such as Logic (which it acquired when it bought eMagic), or a rumored new one just around the corner.
i store don't want no stinking independents - and we don't want no "distributor" of our music that uses any form of DRM
Support Local and Independent Music!
you all have to realize this is a very basic program. There is no mixer, no bussing, and no multiple outs. I doubt any pro photographers uses iphoto and I really doubt any real studio will ever even consider garageband. A $49 price tag does, however, fill a pretty big market gap, and considering it's comming from the same programers who brought us Logic, it's a great buy for anyone who wants to get into recording, composing, or basic midi fuctions.
