APPLE ITUNES FOR
MAC
Version : 11.0.2
Operating
system: Mac OS X 10.6/10.7/10.8
As one of the
most popular programs for managing music and video content on a personal
computer, Apple's iTunes software has become an indispensable part of our
digital life.

The look and
layout of iTunes 10 is essentially identical to that of iTunes 9, with just a
couple of noticeable differences. The first is that Apple has updated its logo
for iTunes. Rather than the old-school music note-over-CD icon, you'll see a
much more applike image. Still, the company hasn't figured out how to more
broadly represent the jukebox's multimedia functionality: there's still just a
music note.
There's also
been a slight change to the source menu that runs as a column down the left
side. The bright blue icons representing the various submenus have been changed
to gray--an odd change in our eyes as it makes them stand out even less, which
doesn't make a ton of sense for menu options. That said, they still offer quick
access to your media library, the iTunes Store, Genius features, and playlists.
Once a selection is chosen in the source menu, all the relevant content spills
out into the large main window, where it can be organized and sorted using an
arsenal of sophisticated, spreadsheet-like options or switched into a Cover
Flow view that hearkens back to the days of flipping through record crates.
Once you're in
the iTunes Store, navigation links now run horizontally across the top of the
window and include drop-down menus to quickly drill down into specific
sections, such as Jazz. Front page content is attractively arranged and allows
you to launch music and video previews directly, without jumping in and out of
specific album and video listings. There's also an option menu next to every
purchase button, allowing you to copy the item's URL, add to your Wish List,
gift the purchase, or share the link on Facebook or Twitter. We're happy to see
that Apple kept all these great enhancements from version 9.
As the primary
tool for managing content on iOS devices, iTunes continues to make it easy to
find music, apps, podcasts, videos, and more using the navigation buttons
across the top. In the iTunes App Store, for example, you can view Apple's New
and Noteworthy apps, Hot apps of the moment, and Staff Picks if you're looking
for app ideas. The iTunes App Store also offers a number of features in the
right navigation like Games of the Week, Games starter kits, most popular
lists, and other rotating links for more app discovery choices. Similarly, the
Podcast, Books, and Video sections all have options for content discovery
making it easy to browse for new content for your iOS devices.
