New Itunes in October

This is the new Itunes from Apple whose player skin is redesigned with newer library views for smarter collection. From each Album in the Albums view, you can expand and preview the tracks you want to listen to. You can choose to buy the song or perhaps the entire album which is powered by ITunes Store. There’s also the New MiniPlayer which may be something like Windows Media Player in Mini Mode or something.

Then there are bonus features such as instant recommendations and you can choose What’s Up Next. It’s sort of like the homepage of YouTube with video recommendations as if ITunes will suggest music you may have never found on your own. Will that be a good suggestion? Already know what you want to listen to? Then you can use the new Up Next feature in ITunes that lets you select a song and easily queue it to play next or last depending on the song order you may want to arrange.

The interface will be changed for computers and IOS devices so the program will work the same wherever you shop for new music, movies, TV Shows and even more. The Preview History which is again powered by ICloud, allows you to keep the preview history up to date across all your devices that are powered by that cloud service. Preview History is the quick rundown of all the music, movies and TV shows you’ve sampled. Furthermore, the music, TV shows and movies you’ve bought from ITunes store will be synchronized with ICloud so that you can play on any device with ICloud whether you go such as your IOS device for example after buying the music on your computer from ITunes Store.

Apple IOS 6 Arrived

Finally, IOS 6 arrived yesterday and I forgot to blog about it as well as the new Itunes in which I will try to do that later. Here are the apps we’re going to talk here but more of these can be found in this link: http://www.apple.com/ios/whats-new/

• Facebook – As the social networking site is way too popular, it is now part of the IOS 6 so that there’s no reason for you to obtain that from the App Store but will the app become more improved? In IOS6, you can share photos, locations from Maps app, high score from Game Center app and other stuffs to Facebook easily. Also, the Facebook events and contacts are integrated into your Apple account similar to the integration done to your other existing email accounts. New to IOS6 includes the Facebook Like button on ITunes and App Store.
• Shared Photo streams – People using ICloud on IOS 6 device or Mac running Mountain Lion can get photos delivered immediately in the Photo app or Iphoto through Photo Streams. You can also view Shared Photo Streams on Apple TV since the latest generation of Apple TV is based on IOS that you can view the photos with the power of ICloud although we’re not sure if there will be IOS 6 for Apple TV. There’s also the web viewing of Photo Streams similar to viewing photos on Skydrive or other cloud storage services.
• Mail – There will be photo and video attachments on the messages but for videos, it is not an easy feat no matter what. There’s also the VIP list which is exclusive to IOS 6 to indicate which messages are important to you. It’s going to be freaking useful but THAT KIND OF PRIORITY should be released earlier in the first place like having the new special folder that contains important messages only. When they’re marked as important , there should be a new special folder like what IOS 6’s VIP folder has.
• Safari – New to IOS 6 includes the cloud bookmarks similar to other web browsers like Google Chrome in which you can synchronize the bookmarks. Also, you can even view webpages offline as well as in full-screen landscape.
• Find My Friends – There are lots of apps that share your location to social networking sites but this one is IOS 6 exclusive as I don’t think this can be in IOS 5 and below. Using the map, your friends can be located on where they are in this app which you may want to take some opportunity to go to the places your friends have gone to one day or perhaps ensure that your friends remain as safe as possible.
• App Store and ITunes Store – You can see what’s new in music, movies, TV shows, apps and other stuffs at the top of each store’s home page. Keep track of the ones you’ve previewed with the History button and when you’re ready to obtain, tap Buy to add something to your collection whether they are free or paid but be careful, you do not want to run into those things that are kind of stupid, not working or even plagued with other flaws. Like cloud bookmarks, the history for these stores is iCloud powered.
