Finally! the much-awaited release of iTunes, iTunes 9.1, is out and is now available for download at the Apple website.
There are a couple of new features in this version of iTunes, the most-special of all having support to sync the iPad. Apart from this, there is a Books section that is set to replace the Audiobooks section in the iTunes Store. More features as follows:
- 'Audiobooks' section will now be 'Books' and contain all Book content: audio, eBook, etc. compatible with the given device (iPod, iPhone, iPad).
- Genius Mixes will include songs that go great together, “users will have more control over Genius Mixes, including the ability to rename mixes and rearrange them by dragging. Users will also be able to delete Genius Mixes by right clicking on them. Genius Mixes will also reportedly be available as sources for the iTunes DJ shuffle feature.”
- Support to automattically [sic] update songs to 128-bit AAC – like the Shuffle currently does – to save space.
- It will have tweaked summary panes (including a move of the “Check for Update” and “Restore” buttons to the left side of the pane)
