The new iTunes

Flying back from Charlottesville, I'm finally remembering to write a post about the iTunes 4.5 update last week.

There are some good new features - the limit on machines you can authorize to play your tunes purchased from the iTunes Music Store went up from three to five, which is great for me, as I have two machines at work, a machine at home, and a laptop that I regularly listen to music on.

And at first I was excited about the iMix feature, which allows you to annotate and upload a playlist to the iTunes Music Store site for sharing with others - a nice social feature. But when I tried it I realized that it only uploads listings for tunes that are available for purchase at iTMS - and it's rare that I have a playlist that contains only songs that I've purchased (or even that are available for purchase) this way. Oh, well - if you want to know what I'm listening to (at least at work), it's posted here.
