Apple – iTunes

In case you are living under a rock, iTunes for Windows. We tried it out in the office this afternoon as soon as it was available for download. Pertty neat stuff. Decent sized download(19+ Mb), I am guessing because it includes Quicktime 6.4. Being able to include our Windows using bretheren in our office music sharing pool will be a huge plus, as it supports the sharing(streaming) of music libraries between platforms. As far as I can tell, the only mistake that Apple seems to have made is screwing people who bought first and second generation iPods. The redesigned iTunes Music Store is also quite nice. I like the addition of audio books, although I doubt I will be using that feature much. I think I will do another write up on the celebrity playlists, but they are an interesting idea that seems very well implemented. Finally, Apple is including a lot more liner note information on the albums available. That was one of the things that bothered me the most about the previous version of the iTunes Music Store.
