Muze Inc (www.muse.com) provides a good amount of the background info
on the albums, artists, etc...

When Casady and Greene Inc dissoved, their SoundJam development team
was picked up to continue development on the iTunes jukebox. (From the
Internet Wayback Machine archive:

The logical assumption is that the C&G SoundJam developers were a part
of the initial iTunes development.  Closest article that backs up that
assumption refers to iTunes as a "derivative work" of SoundJam MP.

If you're looking for a specific person's name, Jeffrey Robbin is
probably your best bet.

Note to researchers:
The information provided by trackzero refers to iTunes as a
MP3/Jukebox program, not the iTunes Music Store itself.

If you're asking about who came up with the iTunes Music Store
concept, I believe it's Steve Jobs.
