Artists Being Asked to Prepare for iTunes 11 Launch in "Next Days"

[yly3]

I think it's time for you to get a new Mac.

Will do, I will be the first to buy the Retina MacBook 2 next year. Never get the first revision I always say

This is hardly proof of anything. I very rarely question items posted on MacRumors but this is the equivalent of making a story titled: "Thanksgiving should be appearing 'tomorrow'" - It does nothing but state the obvious that has been said by Apple already. This company has no advance knowledge of anything other than what we already know.

What will be the difference from the iTunes that we have now and the new update?

 

[dcorban]

The response was not from Apple but this other company so it could be purely speculation on their part. They also said "the next days" NOT "next few days" Petty I know but we shouldn't make this out to more than it is.

I agree. This company is just going by the original "november release" from Apple. They do not have any inside information.

 

[northernbaldy]

Come on! I need something new to keep me entertained

Watch the summer keynote and see for yourself.

It amuses me a little that all the iPad 4 & iPad Mini packing talks about requiring iTunes 11. Now, finally, a couple of weeks after release it's finally arriving

Finally, the rain of terror is over

When is iTMS music available in lossless format? It's about time.

The same time that the iPad gets Flash.

 

[towg]

Wow - what news!

The next few days. Hardly surprising as its been announced to come out in November and its the 21st.

Dull, boring non news item.

Finally, the rain of terror is over

Reign.

Itunes normally gives us hints as to what the future OS X's look like theme-wise. Looking forward to it

To quote Biden (and completely undermine what he was talking about) "This is a big ****ing deal".

Lets hope Apple got this right, the last thing they need with all this momentum is another Map sized media frenzy disaster.

True but they have years of experience in this arena.

As long as it is NOT like the UI disaster called iPad Music app and retains the list view, I will be more than happy to oblige.

p.s.: When is iTMS music available in lossless format? It's about time.

I think during the Keynote when Apple mentioned iTunes 11, I think it was mentioned that the original list view is going to still be there, which I like better too

According to a post on the MacRumors Forums, Apple is asking record labels to submit pictures and galleries of their artists to iTunes for use in iTunes 11's new Music Store layout.

Proof? Because that letter isn't. Not that APPLE is asking for anything. Or that Apple said that iTunes 11 is coming out 'in the next few days'.

Finally, the rain of terror is over

But alas, the snow of despair approaches.

That's not really Apple's call. Like LP, Extras etc content being included in titles, that lies in the hands of the copyright holders. aka the labels, studios, networks.

Can people please stop with this "Where's my itunes 11" whining now?

THey will just trade the 'where' whining for 'what a piece of *****' whining

 

[ctdonath]

Well they have 7 days to stay within their "by the end of November" release date.

Historical context:
iPad 1 + 3G was promised "in April." Showed up at 5:00PM Friday, the last business day of the month.

 

[BMNB1tch]

great just what it needs more BLOAT

going to take 10 million years to load all your mp3 and high rez images

I want a faster iTunes, not google image search...

 

[StumanRH]

Nothing like waiting until the last minute... :/ same with the iMac.

 

[jroadley]

I just want iTunes Match to work all the time...

 

[gmanist1000]

Nothing like waiting until the last minute... :/ same with the iMac.

Apple likes to do that.

But but.. will it work on my 10.5.8 PowerBook G4 ?

Apple just re-released the full (non-upgrade) version of SL for $20 on the online store, which requires an intel chip and 1GB Ram. If you can upgrade your G4 to run SL, then it will support the new iPhone/iPad and hopefully (slightly more likely) the new iTunes 11.

I'm guessing they limit iTunes 11 to 10.6.8 and newer (and Win7/Win8), which would explain the re-release of the SL disc on the online store, and help Apple retain more iTunes customers into the future.

I think they finally realized that not everyone can go buy a new computer every 2 years, and they can't just abandon their huge iTunes user base.

Hehe, yep. No matter how good it is, there will be fury all over the forums designed for Apple fury venting. The blogs will lap it up, many click-dollars will be garnered and we'll all be told what a disaster it is.
