Though the new itunes sounds pretty good.

10:26 am iLounge: 3 different views of iTunes, list view, album view (with art and tracks), then "cover flow view" lets you rapidly find what you want by album cover
10:25 am iLounge: iTunes will give you cover art for free if you are missing cover art (thanks Steve)
10:24 am iLounge: Store now has own section, devices have their own sections, playlists too
10:24 am iLounge: Source list now includes library with sep libraries for all forms of media

iTunes 7 looks OK but just sugar coating for me, unless it is doing the rumoured movie downloads?

Mr Jones · 12 Sep 2006 at 18:31

I wonder if my new MacBook due to be recieved tomorrow or the day after will have the iTune 7 already in it...

Edit:

correction: it appears as though the nano's packaging is 52% smaller, not the nano itself.

And here I am thinking the nano is 50% smaller! :eek:

10:36 am iLounge: movies
10:36 am iLounge: "one more thing..."

Mr Jones · 12 Sep 2006 at 18:38

It's the rumoured Movies e.t.c.

Don't look like there'll be any major hardware update or new stuff?

Psycho Ned · 12 Sep 2006 at 18:40

Between $9.99 & $14.99 for the movies.

You can keep them then Steve

edit: well they aint available here till 2007 anyway so it dont matter!

10:53 am iLounge: Apple is releasing its long-rumored set-top box in Q1 2007. It will be Wireless

It's what?

Immsy · 12 Sep 2006 at 18:55

Im guessing its a box that can stream stuff from itunes to a tv to watch the movies and such.

Psycho Ned · 12 Sep 2006 at 18:55

Hmm sounds interesting suppose its some sort of wireless movie, music player type thing.

Something like a Sky Plus box, but Apple and Wireless?

Hamish · 12 Sep 2006 at 18:58

10:57 am iLounge: Interface is like next gen front row
10:56 am iLounge: 1/2 size of Mac Mini, built-in power supply, USB, Ethernet, 802.11 "wireless component video", optical audio and HDMI ports, plus old RCA stereo audio ports. Works with Apple Remote

like a media extender then

Rather boring so far, wonder if we can get these new 'pods on the student rebate?

Psycho Ned · 12 Sep 2006 at 19:20

Apple shops back open prices are

2gb (silver only) = £99
4gb (all colours except black) = £129
8gb (only black) = £169

Nice cynical manipulating by only doing the most popular colour in the dearest model!

Hamish · 12 Sep 2006 at 19:22

ooh http://www.apple.com/itunes/

That's what I always get anyway - my area is rubbish, no more than 512kbps.

Looks like Apple is gonna make a killing out of people who like Black Apple.
Personally, I always see Apple as white, better suit them.

This business of only getting good colour choices on the more expensive versions really is lame.

AJUK · 12 Sep 2006 at 20:20

Album browse mode looks cool! :cool:
