Apple's iTunes is the default media player and organizer for the multitudes of iPod, iPhone, and iPad-toting trendsters, but Apple hasn't rested on its laurels, continuing instead to add features and improve the software. Version 10 added Apple TV integration, TV show rentals, better app management, and a few cosmetic changes, but the real new meat was Ping, a Facebook-like music-oriented social network that lives inside the media player software. Version 10.2 adds support for the iOS 4.3 operating system on iPod touch, iPhone, and iPad 2 ($499-$829, 4.5 stars), along with support for Home Sharing's streaming video to those devices. New AirPlay support lets you stream music to compatible audio devices—which are finally showing up. Whether you use an iDevice or not, iTunes is still the media organizer to beat.
iTunes is jam-packed with extra features—far too many to detail in this review. Genius playlists and Genius mixes are a great example of this. They automatically create playlists based on song styles and moods. iTunes LP is another, giving you liner notes, photos, and video to go along with an album. Its DJ feature lets you create a live mix in which friends can make requests and vote on songs. This is in addition to what other players give you—an equalizer, Internet radio, and podcast subscriptions. See our previous reviews of iTunes for more on these features. In this review below, I'll mainly concentrate on iTunes' newer features.
