iTunes 7 - It Lives!
In my mind, the best part of this week's announcements from Apple has been a chunky upgrade to the iTunes application. New features include:
- Cover Flow album art viewing
- Automatic album art retrieval
- Full length films are available for purchase from the iTunes Store. Priced at $13 to $15 for new releases and $10 for older titles.
- 2-way sync with iPod
- Gapless playback (yeah, baby!)
I've been using the new iTunes version 7 for a couple of days now and I couldn't be happier. It feels like a well-rounded and capable piece of software. As I use it, no longer do I lament what is missing. In fact, some of the (long overdue) improvements - gapless playback and automated cover art fetching/display - make you wonder how you ever lived without them. iTunes has finally hit its stride with the version 7 release and I'm curious, and excited, to see how Apple will improve on this.
