iTunes 9

Apple iTunes has gotten a face lift with version 9 just a few days back. So, how’s the response been? What are people thinking about it so far? What features are standing out?

iTunes LP, Home Sharing, and Genius Mixes with better syncing have all gotten rave reviews. You can now find, buy, and make the most of good music, movies, TV shows, and of course apps, for your iPhone and iPod Touch.

With Home Sharing you can transfer songs, movies, and TV shows to other computers at home. Artists get to share their creations with fans who would be interested in everything a music album has to offer such as art, lyrics, liner notes, photos, and videos. Definitely very cool.

Plus, you can now enjoy visual features like live performance videos and interviews too. iTunes LP opened with Bob Dylan’s and Norah Jones numbers besides others. iTunes Extras offers movies with documentaries, deleted scenes, interviews, and interactive galleries. Noted movies now on the list include The Da Vinci Code, Batman Begins, and other blockbusters.

As a family you get to watch five iTunes libraries on the home network and add new purchases to their library. Enjoy having your own DJ which can generate up to 12 mixes of songs from the iTunes library with the Genius feature.

You can also organize your iPhone apps in iTunes and can get the same layout on your phone. Get precut ringtone downloads with more than 20,000 ringtones from the store for $ 1.29.

So, if you still haven’t gotten around to downloading iTunes 9 go and get it. What are you waiting for?
