iTunes 11 Now Available!!!

Have you downloaded iTunes 11 yet? It is a much cleaner interface to enjoy your music, movies and more!

With iTunes, it’s easy to get all your music organized. Any song or album you purchase from iTunes goes straight into your music library. And when you import your CDs, iTunes automatically adds the album, artist, and song names, along with the album art. Then, with your whole collection to choose from, you can create the ultimate playlists for rocking out, working out, or chilling out. You can also rate your songs with one to five stars, so it’s easy to find your favorites later.

Just click to listen to your music, watch a movie or TV show, play a podcast or audiobook, or take in a lecture from iTunes U. With iTunes LP, you can also dive into lyrics and liner notes, watch videos, and more. And select movies include iTunes Extras like behind-the-scenes footage, cast and crew interviews, and deleted scenes.

Not sure what you want to hear? Let shuffle decide. And when you need to make room on your screen for more than music, switch to the MiniPlayer. It’s big enough to let you see the songs that are coming up, search your entire collection, and change the track order using Up Next. And small enough that it’s never in the way.

Genius can search your library to find songs that go great together, then organize them into genre-based mixes you’ll love. It can also put together Genius playlists. Just choose a song you like and select Start Genius. Genius finds songs with the same vibe and assembles a new playlist for you. When you expand an album in your library, you can also see In the Store recommendations for songs you don’t own yet — but should.

iCloud

I love this feature, especially if you have more than one Apple product that supports this (newer models).

You never know when you’ll suddenly be in the mood to listen to a favorite song, rewatch a classic movie, or laugh at that hilarious sitcom episode with a friend. With iCloud, you can have iTunes automatically download new music purchases to all your devices the moment you tap Buy. You can also access past music, movie, and TV show purchases from any of your devices — wirelessly and without syncing.

And now new music, movies, and TV shows purchased on any device are instantly accessible in your iTunes library on your Mac or PC. Just click to play, or even download to take a copy with you if you’re going somewhere you won’t have Wi-Fi. Whenever you pause a movie, podcast, or audiobook before the end, iCloud remembers where you left off. So you can pick up in the same spot on any of your devices.

Don't forget there are 1000's of streaming radio stations that are free, yes FREE I said. If you want to listen to bird song or bang your head its up there. 

There is even iTunes Match which is $24.99 a year and pretty much ANY music you have in iTunes, imported CD's, songs purchased from "other" sites (Amazon)  you can store it on the cloud and can enjoy all your music anywhere, anytime — on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, PC, or Apple TV. You can check it out here....iTunes Match

While you are at it compare it to Amazons cloud player at Amazon Cloud Player.
