iTunes 7

Yeah, I know.  Enough with the iTunes stuff, right?  Tough. 

iTunes 7 came out a couple of months ago, with what I thought were few, if any, interesting features.  My personal approach towards new software of any kind is to not be on the "bleeding edge", which means I don't use "dot 0" versions.  I wait until there's a number higher than zero after the "dot".  Today I upgraded my iTunes to iTunes 7 (7.02.16), and I am quite pleased.

Two of the biggest differences for me is related to the album art.  I used to think that adding album art was a waste of time, but I found that really enjoy seeing the artwork when listening to my music.  With the latest iTunes, you can simply click on a song and select "Get Album Art".  A couple of seconds later your song has the cheesy artwork that goes with the song.  This will certainly become helpful if/when I upgrade to an iPod with video display.  (I currently feel like I live in the stone ages with my outdated, no longer available, iPond Mini)

The second feature is merely an added viewing option called Cover Flow.  With Cover Flow you are able to flip through your music like you would flip through your CDs.  Although this may not add functionality, but it adds a certain coolness factor, which I'm all about.

So I recommend upgrading your iTunes to 7, and get some artwork associated with all songs in your music library.
