In this brief YouTube monologue, the speaker recounts a moment before iTunes existed when a colleague advocated for a music‑streaming service—essentially a precursor to Spotify—while Steve Jobs insisted on the iTunes download model. The speaker describes Jobs giving a tour of Pixar Studios, highlights the close, admiring relationship they had with him, and reflects on the strategic disagreement, implying that Jobs’ decision may have been a missed opportunity for streaming.
This is before iTunes. There's a guy who worked with me, and he made the case to Steve Jobs that iTunes wasn't the way to go. The way to go was to put together basically a music streaming service, which would have been like Spotify. And Steve Jobs was adamant about, "No, that's not the way we're going to do it. We had the iTunes model." And, you know, he gave us a nice tour of the Pixar Studios, and, you know, we had a fine relationship. But he was someone we really idolized as an icon for us.
