\u201ciTunes 9 is a great iTunes release, with innovative features that make using iTunes better than ever and iTunes content richer than ever,\u201d said Steve Jobs, Apple\u2019s CEO. \u201ciTunes LP, for example, lets artists share more of their creativity with fans and gives music lovers the feeling of being immersed in an entire album with art, lyrics, liner notes, photos and videos.\u201d<\/p>\n

iTunes LP is the next evolution of the music album delivering a rich, immersive experience for select albums on the iTunes Store by combining beautiful design with expanded visual features like live performance videos, lyrics, artwork, liner notes, interviews, photos, album credits and more. iTunes LP debuts today with albums including Bob Dylan\u2019s \u201cHighway 61 Revisited,\u201d Norah Jones\u2019 \u201cCome Away With Me,\u201d\u00a0and The Grateful Dead\u2019s \u201cAmerican Beauty\u201d.\u00a0\u00a0Customers can enjoy iTunes LP on a Mac\u00ae or PC.<\/p>\n

iTunes 9 also introduces Home Sharing, which lets you easily transfer music, movies and TV shows among up to five\u00a0authorised\u00a0computers in your home. Family members can now view up to five iTunes libraries on their home network, see only the portion of these libraries they don\u2019t already have, import their\u00a0favourite\u00a0content directly to their own libraries, and automatically add new purchases from other computers into their library.<\/p>\n

The incredibly popular Genius feature gets even better with Genius Mixes which are created using the results of over 27 million music libraries with over 54 billion songs that have been submitted and\u00a0analysed\u00a0by Genius. The new Genius Mixes feature is like having a \u201cGenius\u201d DJ that automatically generates up to 12 endless mixes of songs from your iTunes library that go great together.<\/p>\n

With improved syncing in iTunes 9 and iPhone OS 3.1, you can now\u00a0organise\u00a0your iPhone apps right in iTunes and they will automatically appear on your iPhone with the same layout. Plus, syncing music, photos, movies and TV shows is easier than ever with the added ability to sync music by artist and genre and sync photos by Events and Faces. The iTunes Store on iPhone now features precut ringtone downloads with over 20,000 ringtones priced at just\u00a0A$2.19 inc GST.<\/p>\n

iTunes 9 is available immediately as a free download at\u00a0www.itunes.com\/au<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The iTunes Store is the world\u2019s most popular online music, TV and movie store with a catalogue of over 11 million songs,\u00a0thousands of TV shows and movies. With Apple\u2019s legendary ease of use, pioneering features such as iTunes Movie Rentals, integrated podcasting support, the ability to turn previously purchased tracks into complete albums at a reduced price, and seamless integration with iPod\u00ae and iPhone, the iTunes Store is the best way for Mac and PC users to legally discover, purchase and download music and video online.<\/p>\n
