iTunes is a free application for Mac or PC. It organizes and plays your digital music and video on computer. It keeps all content in sync. And it’s a store on computer, iPod touch, iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV that has everything we need to be entertained.
iTunes 10 is announced by Apple on Wednesday, a major upgrade to its music jukebox and media management software. Leading the changes in this version is a social networking component aimed at helping users discover new music.
iTunes 10 is introducing a social network for music feature called Ping. It can follow our favourite artists and friends to discover the music they're talking about, listening to and downoading.
Steve Jobs (Apple CEO ) described that featured--called Ping--as "Facebook and Twitter meet iTunes." Ping is the big new thing in iTunes 10. A major new social component of the iTunes Store, Ping is an opt-in social network that lets customers follow their favorite artists, and be followed by friends. Artists can also interact with their fans on their iTunes Store page. You can create a "circle of friends," view what your friends are buying and listening to or watching, post your thoughts and opinions on artist and album pages, keep track of more than 17,000 concert listings, and mark which ones you're going to.
Ping will also be available on the iPhone and iPod touch as a new button in the iTunes Store app. One more small thing we noticed: iTunes has moved its close/minimize/restore buttons to the side of its window, at least on an OS X demonstration.
iTunes 10 was actually a small part of today's Apple music event. You can read up on all the new iPods, the much-improved iPod touch, and the total Apple TV revision at Gizmodo's complete Apple event coverage. iTunes 10 will be available today for Windows and Mac systems.
