I believe him. Just imagine the overhead. The music is a promo for ipods.
What's wrong with selling ipods?

Nothing is wrong with it. But the overhead of online music sales is very small
compared to ramping up for a hardware run. It maybe that hardware has a more
obvious revenue/fixed cost flow than music does, which in turn might be a bit
more attractive to Apple.
But I think something else is afoot here, and it smells like a accounting move
to adjust for the stock holders at the quarters close.
