Basically Apple has once again redefined the music experience. This once again puts Apple leaps and bounds in front of any other music service.
The benchmark has been set again.
You got that right lucky.
Hell Yes! I love this company
Very cool feature – I just tested it out. One problem is that I have some very long song titles – so long that the artist name isn’t printed. Maybe they’ll have some sort of option for changing font size or something in the future.
It would be nice if they offered support for the new Epson printers that can print directly to special blank CDs – allowing me to create a nice looking CD. Speaking of which, I guess I’ll be going out to buy a nice color printer now that I can do these cool CD inserts…
Does Apple’s iTunes have ID tags for burning MP3 CD’s?
Although great that this is now included, I’ve been using the AppleScripts that link into OmniGraffle Pro. The results now in iTunes are very similar.
The mosaic is so cool. How do they keep coming up with these insanely great ideas?
Dave R,
Yes iTunes has ID tags, It uses them for filing and sorting of the lists, as well as the fields for EQ presets, personal song ratings, and comments, just like the others. Not to mention, when Apple rips a CD it fills in those fields if the CD being ripped exists on the CDDB, most professional CDs do.
Thoughts on iTunes 4.5:
Beef: Now every {Artist, Track, Album} has a little “Take me to the iTunes Music Store” arrow next to it. The first thing I had to do was deselect “Show links to Music Store” in the Preferences. What would be nice, though, is if there were a similar function on the contextual [right button; ctrl+click] popup menu.
I’m intrigued by the “Publish” feature — the iTMS arrow that pops up next to a particular playlist when you haven’t deselected them as above. Again I wish there were a menu item for that…
The “Party Shuffle” looks interesting. Time to go play!

OH WOW..
this is incredible stuff… it sees all my music and links me to the music store..
WOW.. they are really trying to compete with Kazaa.. incredible absolutely brilliant ideas wow
ps. look for these features to be ripped off in Naster 3.0
A small, but useful example how Apple innovates while other imitate. I wonder what they feed those people working at Apple.
Is there a feature like this in iphoto, imovie, or idvd?
This seems great and all, but the WOW factor seems to be greatly deminished by the fact that there is not an easy way to adjust the font on the playlists that appear on the back of the inserts. Default seems to print song names far to large and longer song names are appended with an ellipses. It may be a system preference setting, but I wish Apple had thought this out more.
Tony, I ‘googled’ this topic — ‘iDVD CD case print’– and concur with you that a printing feature would be v.nice.
