Their ability to legally sell music online and the opportunity it 
represents.

Even though iTunes doesn't make a substantial part of Apple's revenues, 
Jobs' winning over the music labels certainly was a landmark event for it 
showed Apple's prowess and what the company could achieve. I'd venture that 
it contributed in some part to the rise of Apple's stock.

In the next two years Apple might do the same with video, now that it has 
begun testing waters with the launch of iPod with video.
