iTunes 9 Update


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.

iPhone 3G Fix?

Good news could be here for iPhone 3G owners. Apple has released an update (2.1) to help fix the problem associated with the chip that switches from EDGE to 3G that so many users had complains about. Apples website lists twelve updated and/or fixed features.

Among them is support for "Genius" the new software that works in iTunes to create playlists automatically from your songs already in iTunes. All you do is pick one song you like and "Genius" arranges other songs that fit with the one you picked. Although, the process involves sending information about your entire iTunes library to Apple to get other users involved in the more perfect fit of "Genius" Playlists.

Another feature worth noting is: "Dramatically reduced time to backup to iTunes". Who actually likes waiting for backups anyways?

For the complete list of improvements and how to upgrade, go to Apple.com.
