Those are the key features, as identified by the Stevenote summary slide.
Genius Mixes: Like Genius Playlists, but for, um, mixes - like a radio station that never ends. Improved Syncing: More exact ways to sync what you want, like specific genres or artists. App management. Home Sharing: Share content with up to five computers in your home. Redesigned Store: "Cleaner layout," full-screen view. iTunes LP: "Most of what left us when we went from CDs" - liner notes, essays, and the like. DVD-style menus. Should be available immediately...demoing now. and i guess i've known it all along / the truth is, you have to be soft to be strong |

iTunes LP doesn't have legs. I just cannot see that catching on. Usually I'm more than willing to accede to Apple's superior overview of market demands and demographics, but on this one I worry they have it bang wrong.

It's different than what I thought it would be - I thought it would just be like a digital version of the liner notes that you could flip through, Cover Flow-style. It seems like they're charging more for iTunes LP, which is dumb, because iTunes is already more expensive then AmP3. It would be sweet for, say, the Beatles, though.

I like the bonus content for movies. That's half the reason I rent DVDs!

Yeah, bonus content for iTunes movies and Facebook/Twitter integration with the Store are two features shown in the demo, came back to add them here. And iTunes 9 will be available today.

I think the Home Sharing feature is pretty amazing. I'll finally be able to keep my different computers in sync with each other.

The Home sharing is awesome. I wish this was here last week. My dad wanted some of my music and I had to dig through folders every time he asked for something. Very annoying.
I can't wait to get this. No more Twitter. It's Mastodon now. |

The problem with iTunes is Windows. iTunes X would be nice, and I can see them doing iTunes X on Mac while the Windows users get to stick with iTunes 9 or whatever.

I'm excited about that, too. I keep all my music on my wife's MacBook, but it would be nice to be able to sync my apps to my work MacBook. I think this looks just like what I need.

How many people are downloading iTunes 9 all of a sudden? My download is slow as crap....... It blitzed to 25 MB and then all of a sudden 10 minutes later and it finally hit 28 MB.

It'd be nice if they cut off new downloads until traffic dies down a bit - they're getting absolutely swamped right now. I got about 25MB into the download at around 1.5MB/s, and then it completely choked. I'm getting small bursts of around 20KB/s now, but that's about it.

The iTunes 9 page is funny. On one side it says "Coming Soon", yet the download link works.

Ugh! I looks like ass on SL. Seriously, the fonts are all screwed up. And when its out of focus the shading looks all goofy. Or is it just me?
I think this is new: there's a "summary of changes" on new Terms & Conditions agreement. I like that ALOT. User formally known as Sh0eWax |

Uhhh I dunno, the one I saw was for the Store. Ooops, I guess I usually gloss over them because they're so long I never noticed that before. Not for the App, but maybe there weren't any significant changes in iTunes terms.

Um. Why did they introduce a new, ever-so-slightly different window style?

The window style looks terrible on my MacBook. Grainy and ugly.
