Playlists refined, redefined

Some under the hood changes make iTunes even better

Apple has announced the next iteration of iTunes -- v3.0. With this update, which is 
available for download now, users can interactively generate play lists by setting 
rules that include parameters like rating, numbers of times played, size, etc.

"I think this will change the way we listen to music," said Steve Jobs during his 
introduction of the revised app.

Of the new features, my personal favorite is "sound check," which causes all songs to 
be played back at the same volume. So, regardless of the encoding rate or volume 
settings embedded when a song is ripped, it will play back at the volume level you 
specify.

These new features aren''t show stoppers taken on an individual basis, but taken 
together move iTunes to the next level with extensive and extensible user control.

As of this writing, Apple had yet to update the iTunes'' homepage.
