iTunes 4.5

Apple released a new version of iTunes yesterday. This transcript of a short Steve Jobs conference call outlines the new features. This article and this one comment on the new version and Apple's progress.

Huh, I never realized there was a limit to the number of times you could burn a playlist to a CD. That's a drag. But this comment points out you can get around that by redefining a new playlist with essentially the same songs on it.

What's interesting (if you want to dignify it by using that word) about the conference call is the typical self-serving coporate-speak spouted by Jobs. I don't know why anybody thinks Apple as a company or Steve Jobs as a businessman are different from any others. Most CEOs are smug hypocrites, just like most politicians.
