Itunes 9

Monday, September 14th, 2009

As we all know by now Itunes 9 was released last week. If you’ve downloaded the new version and are having some problems figuring where things are, or  want to know how to do some of the new features like the wish list and Itunes LP,  MacLife has a “How-to” guide for you.

I’ll be honest with you and say that I haven’t downloaded the new version yet. I usually end up waiting a week or two before downloading any new updates just to see if there’s some major bugs.

One feature that I will definitely like is the Home Sharing feature. From the Apple site:

iTunes makes it easier to share music, movies, TV shows, and more. With Home Sharing, you can browse the iTunes libraries of up to five authorized computers in your house, import what you like, and automatically add new purchases made on any of the computers to your own library.

I’m glad they finally released a feature like this. My wife is thrilled to know that she can grab all of her music that she likes off of my computer and put it on her laptop and I’m glad I can get rid of them. HAHAHA! Just kidding.  I’m so going to pay for that.

Itunes: DRM Free!

Wednesday, January 7th, 2009

As you probably know already Itunes has announced that they’re making their entire library DRM free. I believe it’s going to be 8 million songs on the first wave and then by the end of the quarter the full 10 million. A new pricing structure has also been mentioned and a fee, if you so choose, for updating your entire library for all of your previous song purchases. This is very good news for all and I’m glad that Apple and the major record companies worked something out.  This is probably my main complaint about Itunes and now everything is peachy keen. You can read the find details here.
