iTunes 9 Review

Pages: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

Social Media Sharing
When you click the drop down arrow on an item you’ll notice a menu that has the following:

Gift This Album
Add to Wish List
Tell a Friend
Copy Link
Share On Facebook
Share On Twitter

Yep, you can now easily share items on your favorite social media networks right from the iTunes store. As a sharing addict, I was very happy to see this added to iTunes 9. Of course I immediately had to find something to share so I went with a Grateful Dead album.

I clicked to share it on Facebook and it opened a window in my browser and I added a comment and clicked the Share button. Done. No fuss, no muss. Easy as pie.

This is such a smart marketing move by Apple. It’s long overdue though, it really should have been done in the last version of iTunes but, hey, at least we can now share iTunes content links when we see something really cool we want our friends to know about.

You can now easily share items on Facebook or Twitter.

    “Certainly classics like Led Zeppelin 4 and other albums should get iTunes LP content ahead of some of the trashier music genres like rap or the obnoxious pop tarts like Britney Spears, etc.. ”

    Nice article however, comments like this were totally unnecessary and could be deemed offensive to those of us that actually like rap.. not 50 Cent but more RUN DMC rap or pop-rap like a Kanye West for example.

    Led Zeppelin outside of White America, in America of course, is most likely viewed as “trash”

    One thing that you must agree with iTunes is that they tend to be demanding on processing power.
    I think that i will give this one a go.
    Or probably not.
    There are too many ads on your blog,then tend t distract readers.Apart from that a very nice blog

    One thing you may have missed is that the new iTunes store has eliminated the iPod clickwheel games as a separate link. According to Apple, they are hidden amongst the apps in the Apps Store — but they aren’t coming up in any search I’ve tried for those I’ve bought already.

    I think it’s worth upgrading, I would not go back to the earlier version of iTunes.

    Sorry about the ads but I do need to pay some bills. And so the advertising is the primary means to do that. You can always run an ad blocker and then make a donation to support the blog by clicking on the coffee cup in the sidebar. A cup of coffee once a month is welcomed and appreciated.

    I totally do not see it as a racial issue. People of all races like different genres of music, you really can’t go by race as far as musical tastes. I dislike rap and pretty much always have (with a few exceptions) and I prefer that Apple add iTunes LP content to stuff like Zeppelin rather than wasting it on rap. They can always do the rap stuff later on. But that’s just my taste and my two cents, take it as you will.
