Apple iTunes 8.1 New Features
Stumble it!
Now that Apple has released the new iPod shuffle there is still one more ingredient missing and that’s the new iTunes 8.1. If you have already visited Apple’s iTunes download page you will notice a note that says “iTunes 8.1 coming soon“.
You can also check out Apple’s “What’s New Page” to check out new highlights of iTunes 8.1 which includes Speed Improvements, autofill any iPod and Import as iTunes plus.
Speed improvements
iTunes gets a speed boost. Now when it comes to loading large libraries, browsing the iTunes Store, and syncing your devices, iTunes responds faster than before.
Autofill any iPod
Now the convenience of Autofill works with any iPod. Let iTunes choose what songs fill your pocket and enjoy your music at random.
Import as iTunes Plus
Automatically import music from your CDs as higher quality, 256-Kbps iTunes Plus files. Watch a tutorial to find out how to import music from CDs.
Key Features include
- Allows friends to request songs for iTunes DJ.
- Adds Genius sidebar for your Movies and TV Shows.
- Improves performance when downloading iTunes Plus songs.
- Provides AutoFill for manually managed iPods.
- Allows iTunes U and the iTunes Store to be disabled separately using Parental Controls.
In addition to that, Apple’s “iTunes A to Z” features page suggests several additional changes, including updated Parental Controls that appear to add the ability to disable access to the entire iTunes Store while still allowing access to iTunes U content. It will also include an entry for Autofill, which does not clearly specify what the changes are, although it appears possible that the feature implemented for the smallest-capacity iPods is being extended to all models.
Let’s just hope they release it as early as today.
Update : iTunes 8.1 has been released and it’s available for Download now.
