It's not out yet but what are your thoughts on it?


Ping I think is stupid and an EVEN stupider name. There's already an App called Ping in the Appstore. It's Twitter for iTunes which we don't need. It's going to slow down iTunes ALOT (Windows)!


New icon wow!....No.

AirTunes good. For those we need it. Good work!

A comment from the Blog Post

Ask for a music manager that will let me restore my library from device to computer, watch directores and add new files to library and not run like a pig on Windows and what do you get: a social network.

F-ing idiots.

I strongly agree! This version of iTunes should be 9.3.

Don't know how it performs yet so I'll hold off on bashing it's bloat for now. I don't know when I'll use Ping or if I will.

Sadly, I can see Ping being a huge hit, especially when music artists start using it and what not.

To me it seems that people are really missing the big picture. Ping was a very smart move my Apple, social media and networking is driving more traffic on the web then any other content source on the web. It only makes sense that Apple would get into social networking at some point and tying it into iTunes seems like a great move. I know that myself and most of people that I know will use it. As for it being slow on Windows, well I think that it really depends on the kind of machine that you are using. My GF just got a new Windows laptop and iTunes seems almost as fast on her machine as it does on my macbook pro.

I think this is a nice step up. I think these are going to be great changes and new options. The fixes are cool- so I just can't see how it could be a bad thing.

Sorry, guys, but iTunes is already a pig application... the LAST thing that it needs is more bloat... and Apple does NOT need to be in the social networking environment. Period.

Now, wanna know what I really think?

Did anyone actually get iTunes 10 yet? They even have it up on the main page and still when I get to the download page it says 9.2.1 and that 10 is coming soon.

Now it says you're downloading 10 but I got 9.2.1 again.

I'm excited for ping. It's a new take on social networking and it's focus is actually about something other then your friend jenny being a whore. I love music, and I see this as actually being useful. I think ping on the iphone should have been an optional app to download, not just automatically added in to itunes on the phone. That said, I hate facebook and want it to die. That's my .02

Dunno, wasn't interested enough to check. Jailbreak beats ping.

Just more features aimed at the kiddies. Just like gamecenter. Apple definitely targets the unwashed masses. Starting to be a turn off.
