Apple releases iTunes 7 September 13th, 2006 by Dismay
Apple announced the release of iTunes 7 with an emphasis on the iTunes Store now offering over 75 movies from Walt Disney Pictures, Pixar, Touchstone Pictures and Miramax Films.
“Here we go again! First music, then TV shows, and now movies,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO, in a press release. “In less than one year we’ve grown from offering just five TV shows to offering over 220 TV shows, and we hope to do the same with movies. iTunes is selling over one million videos a week, and we hope to match this with movies in less than a year.”
The new version already has some positive reviews. An article at tuaw.com says, "The new viewing options for the individual library entries in the Sources list (Music, Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts and Radio) are really, really slick. As a clever touch, the List view, pictured below, shows album covers on the left (which iTunes can now grab automatically from the store for all your non-iTS purchases), with a list of each song, artist and album name (somewhat redundant) for each individual album."
Daily Tech (http://www.dailytech.com/) says, "One of the biggest features of the new iTunes software is that users will now be allowed to sync their iPods to different computers. As long as the user owns the account and authorization on the computers, their iPod will no longer be wiped."
