Apple made this multimedia player-organizer popular long ago by putting it on all their mobile devices (iPod, iPad, iPhone).

Itunes Software On The

It has grown from those humble origins into perhaps the most important piece of software on the Mac, serving as a hub not only for music but also for podcasts, movies, TV shows, books, and, of course, mobile apps.

While its taking me a while to adjust to the alternatives to list view that iTunes 11 provides, I find the album view very cool.

Im also a fan of the way media playback can now be synchronized across devices using iCloud.

Without an iOS device of my own Ive been unable to test this feature out myself, but greater integration with iCloud just makes sense the way technology is changing.

Its been replaced with a visual Up Next list that can be altered at any time - in effect, the meat of the DJ feature has been attractively embedded into regular playback - but the level of control over the list is more limited.

This change fits with two trends I expect Apple to continue in future iterations of iTunes - relatively fewer features for music playback and less user control over what one can do with ones files.

This software is becoming more and more bloated with needed features.

Yet at the same time iTunes only has very limited support for the types of MusicVideo files it will play.

Itunes Code MusicVideo Files

It really is a pain having to transcode MusicVideo files so they can be played in iTunes.

I have bee using iTunes since it was first presented in 2001.

Its really one of the most useful peaces of software I have on my machine.

But on the other hand, it has quite a significant drawback cuz its not able to transfer files between portable devices, which is quite bad to my mind, since I dont wanna limit myself to a single iPhone or whatever.
