Quick and Clean Rundown: iTunes 9 has come out and yes, it is a welcomed upgrade! This update features 4 main things that make this update worth while. First, we have the tabs at the top of the iTunes screen listing the areas of iTunes. For more of a easier navigation. Basic, right? thats what I thought. Second, we have the new music albums and singles listed in thumbnail view, but now you can get info any of these show with just a hover and click of your mouse on the circled "i" that appears... without leaving the window. A smaller window will appear and show all the songs and prices. You can even play a song preview from this window. Which brings us our third feature. The ability to preview any of the Top Songs by hovering your mouse near the front of the song (which will bring up a play button). Also, without leaving the page: Simple/easy feature. And last we have the Home Sharing feature.
This enables sharing of video and audio throughout the network with simple setup and views. You can easily view others music and show only music you don't have. Well, there it is, rundown complete.
Hmm perhaps I should give itunes another gander, right now it's merely a portal with which to connect to my ipod. Primarily because it has irritated the living patootey out of me in the past, and I'm not much for second chances with computer things.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it also helps to eliminate the features you don't use, ie: radio, audiobooks, etc. Also, go through your preferences (early) and enable smart library thing. And decide whether to enable "copy all to iTunes library. This is important if you have multiple locations of your music. Decide wisely.
