We are working with Apple, but Apple has the nasty habit of not letting
anyone have access to their beta software until they're ready to release
it. Only then do they let us see it, and then they end up spending the
rest of the development cycle fixing the bugs. So we are in
communication with our Apple contacts, and they've assured us that
they'll let us have access to the new version when they're good and
ready, and not a moment sooner.

During today’s iPhone 5 event, Apple also unveiled a major update to
iTunes, its iconic media management application. Designed to be
“dramatically simpler” the new version provides a much more simplified
user interface presented primarily as a grid view, with album content
expanding in place in a style similar to iOS folders and
deeper links into the iTunes Store for browsing and purchasing
additional content.
A new split screen view allows users to see their full library while
working with playlists, a new popup and drop down dialogs provide
access to now playing queues and search results, providing more
effective navigation without taking the focus away from the main
screen. Improved playlist management allows users to move effectively
drag and drop tracks directly into their preferred playlists and a new
mini-player
interface has been added providing album artwork with basic controls
and search capabilities.
The new version of iTunes will also provide direct iCloud integration
allowing users to stream previously purchased content from iCloud such
as Movies and TV shows, with playback positions automatically synced
with iOS devices via iCloud. Tighter iTunes Store integration also
allows artists to share photos and other information and allows
users to access artist pages to look for information such as concert
dates and scheduled new releases. The new iTunes is expected to be
available in late October.
