Í gær gaf Apple út gífurlega útgáfu af iTunes margmiðlunarforritinu sem allir iPhone og iPad eigendur þekkja. iTunes 11 kemur með gjörbreyttu viðmóti auk nokkurra nýrra eiginleika sem vert er að geta.
Í fyrstu var talið að iTunes 11 myndi koma út á sama tíma og iPhone 5 eða iPad mini, en nokkrar tafir urðu á útgáfu forritsins sem olli því að það leit ekki dagsins ljós fyrr en í gær.
Notendaviðmótið var tekið í gegn frá upphafi til enda, sem er nú stílhreinna en áður, auk þess sem iCloud stuðningur er orðinn miklu betri.
Sæktu iTunes 11 héðan (Mac og Windows). Mac útgáfan er 191 MB á meðan Windows útgáfan er talsvert minni, eða 83 MB.

Introducing the new iTunes.
With a dramatically simplified player, a completely redesigned Store, and iCloud features you’ll love—this is the best iTunes yet.
- Completely Redesigned. iTunes makes it more fun to explore and enjoy your music, movies, and TV shows. You’ll love the beautiful edge-to-edge design, custom designs for each album, movie, or TV show in your library, and getting personal recommendations any time you click In the Store.
- A New Store. The iTunes Store has been completely redesigned and now features a clean look that makes it simpler than ever to see what’s hot and discover new favorites.
- Play purchases from iCloud. Your music, movie, and TV show purchases in iCloud now appear inside your library. Just sign-in with your Apple ID to see them. Double-click to play them directly from iCloud or download a copy you can sync to a device or play while offline.
- Up Next. It’s now simple to see which songs are playing next, all from a single place. Just click the Up Next icon in the center display and they’ll instantly appear. You can even reorder, add, or skip songs whenever you like.
- New MiniPlayer. You can now do a whole lot more with a lot less space. In addition to showing what’s playing, MiniPlayer now includes album art, adds Up Next, and makes it easy to search for something new to play—all from a smaller and more elegant design.
- Improved search. It’s never been easier to find what you’re looking for in iTunes. Just type in the search field and you’ll instantly see results from across your entire library. Select any result and iTunes takes you right to it.
- Playback syncing. iCloud now remembers your place in a movie or TV show for you. Whenever you play the same movie or episode from your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Apple TV, it will continue right where you left off.
