Apple iTunes 10 1
As one of the most popular programs for managing music and video content on a personal computer, Apples iTunes software has become an indispensable part of our digital life. Version 10 of iTunes brings a handful of enhancements to Apples ubiquitous media software, though notably absent is a much-anticipated cloud music service follow-up to LaLa. By far the biggest change to the jukebox is the addition of a social functionality called Ping.
The look and layout of iTunes 10 is essentially identical to that of iTunes 9, with just a couple of noticeable differences. The first is that Apple has updated its logo for iTunes. Rather than the old-school music note-over-CD icon, youll see a much more applike image. Still, the company hasnt figured out how to more broadly represent the jukeboxs multimedia functionality: theres still just a music note.
Theres also been a slight change to the source menu that runs as a column down the left side. The bright blue icons representing the various submenus have been changed to gray--an odd change in our eyes as it makes them stand out even less, which doesnt make a ton of sense for menu options. That said, they still offer quick access to your media library, the iTunes Store, Genius features, and playlists. Once a selection is chosen in the source menu, all the relevant content spills out into the large main window, where it can be organized and sorted using an arsenal of sophisticated, spreadsheet-like options or switched into a cover-flow view that hearkens back to the days of flipping through record crates.
Once youre in the iTunes store, navigation links now run horizontally across the top of the window and include drop-down menus to quickly drill down into specific sections, such as Jazz. Front page content is attractively arranged and allows you to launch music and video previews directly, without jumping in and out of specific album and video listings. Theres also an option menu next to every purchase button, allowing you to copy the items URL, add to your Wish List, gift the purchase, or share the link on Facebook or Twitter. Were happy to see that Apple kept all these great enhancements from version 9.
