Looking Back on iTunes #2

Tags: itunes apple ipod

When Apple Computer Inc. announced its new iPod music player long ago, CEO Steve Jobs noted that it is the first of a new line of digital hub devices that work hand-in-hand with the Mac to deliver a superior user experience. The iPod does just that, using the new auto-sync functionality of Itunes 2 to seamlessly update the songs and playlists on both units.

iTunes 2 was the first major update to the digital music application, which Apple introduced in January, and comes with several other additions. Now on-board was an equalizer with 22 presets, smoothly moving the specific band settings on command. MP3 CD burning and song cross-fading are also included, but sources were particularly enthusiastic about CD burn performance. "Burn preparation is a lot faster," one noted, and Apple's official documentation says that burning a CD was twice as fast. Sources who have used iTunes 2 describe it as a stable application under normal use. 

Apple's iTuneswebsite includes a gallery of QuickTime movies demonstrating some of iTunes 2's new features, and it was being distributed to some Apple retail stores for demonstration along with the iPod.iTunes 2 will be offered as a free download early this coming month, and will be pre-installed on new Apple hardware about that time. When the iPod ships on November 10, iTunes 2 will be included on CD.
