Apple updates iTunes and the iPod

iTunes now converts non-DRM-crippled WMAs and has a new lossless compression format. iPod needs a firmware update to play them. Each track in your library links to the iTMS, a feature which can be switched off. There is a new party shuffle view. I particularly like the new feature which lets you join tracks:

Many music CDs contain songs that blend into each other, and importing them to iTunes may create a small gap between songs that interrupts the flow. If you use the iTunes Join Tracks feature, the program melds two or more songs into one, continuous gap-free track. So now you can enjoy listening to classical music, concept rock albums and extended dance mixes without the silent treatment.
