iTunes 10
Alright, I just got done downloading iTunes 10. There are quite a few differences over previous versions. One of the most notable, and obvious, differences is the user interface. It now seems more refined and easier to read. iTunes has always looked, to me at least, like it was built using Lotus. It was very "blocky" and choppy and somewhat difficult to follow. Now when you pull up music, for instance, it has your songs in more of a list format, arranged alphabetically by artist making it alot easier to read. Another vast, and way overdue, difference is the icon. It no longer is the CD with the music note on it. Apple finally made the icon look like it was not designed on an Amiga. But, the biggest difference so far is the newest feature, Ping. This is found after you go to the iTunes store. Ping is nothing more than a social networking platform for iTunes. With Ping, you can follow certain artists that you choose. This gives you the chance to be more on top of what they have coming up. It also lets you follow your friends and other people with the same musical tastes. This can give you a heads up on new music and artists you may have missed. Overall, I think iTunes 10 is a vast improvement over the previous versions. So, take a moment, go download the newest version of the world's most popular music player/media organized/(and now) Social Networking platform
