iTunes 9.0.1 Released

dougscripts — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 00:55:00 +0000

Apple has released an iTunes update and describes pretty explicitly (for Apple) what the fixes are, like the issue with the zoom button, unexpected quits, and unresponsiveness, the latter two of which I experienced a couple few times.

Project Cocktail

The news about Apple working with the music labels to “stimulate digital sales of albums by bundling a new interactive booklet, sleeve notes and other interactive features with music downloads” is interesting, but these so-called “interactive” downloads are not new. As I recall, there have been several available from the iTunes Store, usually as part of larger “box” sets. They open in QuickTime and have virtual pages and hot links and they’re pretty cool, depending on how they are designed.

Although I don’t think it likely, wouldn’t be surprised if DRM was part of the “talks”.
