iTunes 9.0 is here!

So I picked up my copy of Snow Leopard at the weekend and installed it to get some very nice surprises, including 12GB of my Hard Drive back, a new Quick Time, improved Exposé and overall snappier performance.
Today however, Apple rolled out iTunes 9 to end users which, I must admit, is looking rather well. It’s obvious from a first glance they that have tweaked it graphically (most likely to match in with Snow Leopards modified GUI) including a new white background when viewing by album artwork and an enhanced 3D effect on the buttons and progress bars. However, they have also added some new features like Home Sharing, which allows an entire family (or network) to share all the purchased music from one iTunes store account across an entire network.
Overall it does seem to have done the Snow Leopard thing, by making everything snappier and generally faster. It’s just a pity they didn’t use the same very pretty black skin that Quick Time has…
