14 DAY TRIAL // Apple has introduced iTunes 9, adding features like iTunes LP, Home Sharing and Genius Mixes, and a redesigned store. Improved syncing and an iPhone screen / app manager are also available with the new iTunes version.
“iTunes 9 is a great iTunes release, with innovative features that make using iTunes better than ever and iTunes content richer than ever,” Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO, said. “iTunes LP, for example, lets artists share more of their creativity with fans and gives music lovers the feeling of being immersed in an entire album with art, lyrics, liner notes, photos and videos.”

• An improved look and feel, including a new Column Browser for easily browsing your artists or albums, movies, TV shows, and more. • iTunes Store has a brand-new look, with improved navigation for quick and easy exploration. • iTunes LP and iTunes Extras create unique experiences that feature exclusive interviews, videos, photos, and more — available with select album and movie purchases on the iTunes Store. • Home Sharing helps you manage your family's iTunes collection between computers in your home. iTunes can automatically transfer new purchases, or you can choose just the items you want. • Genius Mixes are created for you by iTunes and play songs from your library that go great together. • iPod and iPhone syncing now allows you to organize your iPhone and iPod touch home screens directly in iTunes. Syncing is now also more flexible, allowing you to sync individual artists, genres, or TV shows and Podcast episodes. • iTunes U items are now organized into their own section in your iTunes library. • Sync with iPod nano (5th generation), iPod classic (Fall 2009), and iPod touch (Fall 2009). • iTunes 9 also includes many other improvements, such as HE-AAC encoding and playback, more flexibility with Smart Playlists rules, simpler organization of your media files inside an iTunes Media folder, and more.
