iTunes is the main website where Apple provides access to iPods and iTunes Music Downloads. Their motto is Buy It, Watch It, Bring It! When you hit the sites it looks like an iPod eCommerce store with accessories and all the 'fixings! If you have an iPod you can Sync everything — even Outlook contacts and calendars on Windows PCs — to your iPod. Very COOL! We are not reviewing iPods here so we will stick the music portions - iTunes.
6StarReviews notes that they offer over 2 million online music selections, 20,000 podcasts and 11,000 audiobooks. They also have classic '80s videos or the latest episode of favorite TV shows like "Lost." They sell songs for $.99 and entire albums for $6.99 – they were $9.99. If you want to download music now they have a free single offered – Sugarcult. iTunes lets you import and perform music downloads, adjust random playback and even set parental controls to ensure your kids hear only what you want them to hear.
What’s New with iTunes?
- iTunes Plus-Higher-quality, DRM-free music
- Cover Flow-Flip through your virtual iTunes collection; reminiscent of a CD book.
Apple TV-Watch tv, movies, and podcasts from your iTunes collection on your TV! - MiniStore - Discover New Music-If you are looking for new music downloads of your favorite artists – this feature will be of great use to you! The new MiniStore shows you more albums that you may be interested in while you are browsing your own library or importing a new CD. You can even see reviews of these albums plus what other listeners who like this artist purchased. OK – this is a marketing tool – but it can be of use if you get past the marketing aspect of the tool.
