Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Apple's iTunes used to be simply a versatile jukebox program that brought Mac users into the digital-music world, but new features that tune up its jukebox and the much-ballyhooed iTunes Music Store push it over the top. Seamless integration with the iPod, smart playlists, CD burning, and label printing create an 800-pound gorilla. With version 4.9 Apple has welcomed the Podcasting community into the fold, making it ridiculously easy to tune in to this exciting new medium. Finding and downloading podcasts works exactly as the same way as downloading tunes from the Music Store, except that all content is free. Another one of our favorite features is Party Shuffle, which keeps a queue of songs at the ready that you can rearrange. Also new is iMix, which lets you publish playlists on the iTunes Music Store. iTunes supports MP3, AAC, AIFF, WAV, and a new format called Apple Lossless, which gives you uncompressed audio quality with files half the size. The Rendezvous sharing feature lets you see and play the playlists and music libraries of other users on your network.
One unfortunate quirk is how iTunes handles unprotected WMA files. We would prefer the program just play those files, rather than re-encode them into AAC format. Regardless, iTunes continues to be one of the best jukeboxes available.
Publisher's description
From Apple :iTunes 4, the stunning new rendition of one of Apple's greatest hits, comes with an appealing new feature: the fabulous iTunes Music Store stocked with hundreds of thousands of songs you can preview and own with just one click. The world's best digital music player now supports the new AAC audio format (think high-quality sound with even smaller file sizes), and lets you share your music with other Mac computers on your local Ethernet or AirPort wireless network. And if you have a Mac with a SuperDrive, you can archive your entire music library to DVDs for safekeeping.
