Apple to Release iTunes 9 Today

Apple will release iTunes 9 today, a significant update to the company's media management tool. iTunes 9 will sync better, improve iPhone app organization, lightly integrate social networks, and feature other improvements.
Syncing updates sound dull but could be the core of the new functionality, with network syncing making its debut. Up to 5 user-authorized computers on a network will be able to copy songs and other media in addition streaming. iTunes will even facilitate library syncing, so you can keep two laptops loaded with your current purchases, for example.
iPod syncing improves, with the ability to transfer all songs by a certain musician, genre, or other factor. iPhoto will also sync Faces-recognized people and events. Syncing by those restrictions had previously required customized smart albums.
iPhone and iPod touch owners will finally be able to organize apps directly from a Mac or PC. iTunes will show all of the home screens, letting you drag apps around or even reorder those whole pages.
A bunch of additional, moderate improvements round out the new software, such as an update to Genius music recommendations. Within iTunes, Facebook and Twitter users can add links to the store on those social services. Movie purchases can come with extras that are similar to DVD bonus content, while music "LP" sales will include notes, photos, and other additions. An iTunes Store redesign also updates its navigation.
Get the free download within Software Update, or from Apple when it goes live later today.

I cannot see any major differences in the latest iTunes release with its predecessor. More are the same kind of features.

This release is a much more improved and attractive one when we compare it with Apple's previous releases. Many interesting features included as well.

I am not too impressed with this latest release comparing to their old versions. I was very comfortable using the version 8 but thus far not this one though.

I noticed that 3rd part visualizers don't run on iTunes 9. I even tried installing them again.
p.s And yes the green button should not put iTunes in min-player mode but...they should put a button somewhere quick & easy to do so

I am really glad to know about the 9th version. It really sounds very great and better than before. I will feel more comfortable with it.
Regards.

To get the mini player, press Command-Shift-M, or go to File > Show Mini Player. I keep clicking the green button too. We'll get used to it! (You know, someday.)

I've got a 1st gen iTouch w/ 2.1 software and now whenever i plug my ipod in it says "verifying ipod" and locks up the whole application, i can't even update to 3.1 software. This is uber frustrating

I too am totally annoyed that it doesn't go to miniplayer as well!

Anyone else incredibly annoyed that the green button on the window in iTunes 9 no longer automatically goes to the miniplayer? I lived by the function, now I have to hit cmd-shift -m in order to go into the miniplayer. i really hope this is just an initial bug, or maybe a future option in preferences, but right now it's ridiculously annoying trying to break this habit.

I can see why losing that would be irritating if you used the miniplayer, but this was a huge UI inconsistency. The proper behavior of the green button is related to window size, not changing display modes. I always found this inconsistency incredibly irritating, and I'm actually rather excited that they fixed it.
