Apple shows off iTunes 9
Apple has unveiled the newest version of its iTunes media player tool.
Chief executive Steve Jobs said in a special event in San Francisco on Wednesday that iTunes 9 would put a greater emphasis on Apple's Genius analysis tool. Jobs outlined a new Genius Mix feature which analyzes a user's library and constructs up to twelve "channel" lists which continuously play similar songs from the library.
Also headlining the new version of iTunes would be a multimedia feature known as iTunes LP. With the new component, artists and publishers can bundle multimedia content such as photos, artwork and song lyrics into a digital album release.
