The shape of iTunes to come [u]
September 3rd 2008
There has been plenty of digital ink spilled about what to expected vis-a-vis new iPods next Tuesday.
[u] iLounge has published a pair of schematics said to show the physical characteristics of the revised iPod nano and iPod touch. It's perhaps telling that Apple hasn't (yet?) jumped on them. [u]
However, the sole source for information on iTunes 8 has been Kevin Rose. Although he's record-to-date of Apple punditry isn't particularly good, this time 'round it's the considered wisdom of the blogsphere that he may be onto something.
• iTunes 8 includes Genius, which makes playlists from songs in a user's library that go great together
• iTunes 8 allows browsing of artists and albums visually with Grid view
• Download favorite TV shows in HD quality from the iTunes Store
• Sync media with an iPod nano (4th generation), iPod classic (2nd generation) or iPod touch (2nd generation)
• Stunning new music visualizer
That's a fairly meaty new feature list and at face value is worthy of a whole number.
What would you like to see in iTunes 8?
