Within an hour of the Rock and Roll Keynote finishing the download is available from Apple’s iTunes site. Even their website still has mistakes referencing iTunes 8.2 but I am 50% complete on downloading iTunes9.dmg.

They have updated a bunch of things and added a few new features:

- Easier iTunes Store browsing and navigation (which was a sorely needed upgrade)

- Previews of any song, TV show, album, or movie from the Apple Store

- iTunes LP, which allows you to download a digital version of specific albums with animations, videos, and other visual items.

- iTunes Extras: It essentially turns movie downloads into true DVDs, with the video commentary, cast interviews, and photo galleries in-tacty

- Genius Mixes: It turns your playlists into something akin to a radio station. It knows what songs just go together.

- More detailed and improved syncing

- App management: Yes, you can finally manage your iPhone apps in a clean way. This is something we’ve been dying for.

Sounds like the new features will make the experience a little nicer. Many will love the new store but I am stoked for the sharing feature. The sharing in the past versions has been spotty at best, worked poorly when it worked and sometimes didn’t work at all. Let’s hope that’s been really worked out.

So go get your iTunes – Geek on!
