A German blogger claims to have dug up a handful of iTunes 9 screenshots while sifting through a Chinese Apple forum:
Zach Epstein reports for The Boy Genius Report, “For those of you who are late to the party, we exclusively scooped a handful of features said to be coming to the next version of iTunes and then followed up this morning with some tasty new info. Should these screenshots be authentic, they definitely firm up several of the items we listed including Last.fm integration and some kind of integration with Facebook and Twitter as shown in the first screenshot below.”

The Last.fm client is one big memory leak. iTunes integration would be a great way to solve that.
what would facebook and twitter integration give me? What does “facebook and twitter integration” mean?
I call fake… see the white corners on the last.fm logo… Apple would never allow that… same thing with the FB and Twitter icons. They would wind up inside a button, not just out there like that…
and the Social link on the left is just a renamed playlist… come on, this isn’t even a good fake…
and the last.fm link is still bold when not selected…
someone explain to me why we need to integrate twitter and facebook into itunes?
You might as well call itunes safari now!!!
BS… the iTunes 9 About screen has been pasted on the picture of iTunes screen.
Cheers!
Twitter is dead!
Last.fm would be a welcome addition, but like others have already expressed, why Twitter and Facebook?
iTunes does NOT need any more features- it needs the Snow Leopard Treatment. Thin it down and make it run faster and cleaner. It’s showing it’s age and getting ricketier and ricketier.
Why would I want to share what song or video I am playing?
The iWeb sharing of page/site updates is trash so hopefully it will make some sense.
¿You want to give some add value to Itunes (sic.)? Integrate it with the awesome, exclusive and unique MSN service. Why? Because the real world is there; the rest of services ar just plain dumb. MSN has all you need: from hotmail to… well hotmail. Oh, wait! There is a search engine, too. I can’t remember the name, but it is there.
¿Can you imagine hotmail integrated in Itunes (sic.)? ¿And the zune, too? My god. It will be beautiful.
Your denial. Our service.
MDN, this is disappointing. Those “screenshots” are clearly fake.
and we need to post our itunes information to facebook and twitter because……………………….?
On my former blog, I used to post a note of what song was playing in iTunes. Ran a script to grab the song and then load it up to the web server. Just a little thing. Eventually, I replaced it with my Top 25, with embedded Amazon links, which seemed to generate more interest, and a few pennies. But why do this to Twitter and FB? There is no value there, unless you’re looking for a way to convince people not to follow you.
@Brian Allen: I agree that the iWeb/FB integration is crappy. No value there. But I wouldn’t mind being able to post my top 25 list to my iWeb page(s). iWeb is pretty thin, maybe anorexic, compared to Expression Engine which I used before, it’s just what I need these days.
@Nathan:
“Ricketier” in what way? I use iTunes to manage a 100GB media library and it never misses a beat.
Clearly fake. There is no drop shadow on the “About iTunes 9” window.
Yeah, iTunes isn’t bloated enough, let’s slow it down even more.
@ Tune Zang©–
Hey imposter, what’s the deal? I think you need to get your own schtick, because this one isn’t working for you.
Fake – last.fm does not change to white text when highlighted, breaking the design rules implicit in iTunes.
fake no shadow behind abut itunes window cheap cut and pas from photoshop
