New version of Apple’s digital media player application is available for download. iTunes 8 offers new ways of viewing your music and video libraries, and adds television programs in HD (high definition) for sale on the iTunes Store. There is also ‘Genius’ feature, which lets users automatically create playlists from songs in their music library.
iTunes 8’s new visual browsing interface displays music and video libraries using user compiled album and video covers, and also provides a better way to navigate movies, TV shows, iPhone apps, podcasts and audiobooks.
The new Genius feature is simple to use. Just select any song, click the Genius button, and iTunes instantly creates a playlist of songs that go great together from your own library. You can preview the playlist Genius creates, refresh the list to choose different songs and save Genius playlists to enjoy again later. The Genius sidebar appears right in iTunes and recommends music from the iTunes Store based on the songs you select.
The Genius feature anonymously sends information about your music library to the iTunes Store, where it is combined with the anonymously-gathered knowledge from millions of other iTunes users and processed through Apple-developed algorithms. The Genius results are then sent back to your computer to enable you to automatically create Genius playlists in iTunes and on your iPods, even when they are not connected to the Internet. You can download iTunes 8 for free here.
