Apple iTunes 9 details, Blu-ray, app organization
We’ve just received a tip from a pretty reliable source that detailed for us some of iTunes 9’s upcoming features and they’re pretty exciting.
One of the new additions to iTunes is said to include Blu-ray support which lines up nicely with a recent Apple Insider report about Apple integrating Blu-ray into their new iMac line-up. Something else that will most likely make a bunch of people happy is that we’ve been told iTunes 9 will finally include the ability to visually organize and arrange your iPhone and iPod touch applications. Something that wasn’t so clearly described was some kind of Twitter/Facebook/Last.fm integration. Maybe broadcasting what song you’re playing to your friends?
Let’s see how this pans out. Even though we weren’t given a timeframe on a possible release, that yearly Apple iPod event around the September timeframe would most likely be a reasonable place to expect this sort of announcement we believe.
Thanks, Lindsey!
When you post a page’s worth nobody reads it.
Keep it short and simple.
Re-arranging apps shouldve came out with OS 3.0
its annoying to organize 11 screens worth of apps
COME ON MAN! WHAT CAME FIRST ANDROID OR OSX? WHAT PUCK, AND WHO IS FOLLOWING IT? ANDROID IS ONLY TRYING TO BE OSX, AND AT LEAST JOBS WAS SMART ENOUGH TO LET THE IDIOTS GET ALL THE BLUE-RAY BUGS OUT, BEFORE HE LET US SIP THE BLUE-TEA!
I really hope iTunes 9 will get a speed enhancement over iTunes 8 on Windows, rather than adding social networking integration. iTunes 8 is slow as hell, and cramming even more stuff into the software won’t help.
I agree. iTunes 8 has been glitchy for me (randomly deleting album artwork, in addition to being really slow).
One of the causes may be the meticulous sorting that gets used (”C:\Users\\Music\iTunes\iTunes Music” just for the regular music, not counting apps, podcasts, etc. Obviously the path doesn’t apply to macs)
