iTunes 8.1 makes every partygoer the DJ
By admin • Mar 16th, 2009 • Category: Apple, iPhone, iPod
Apple has released version 8.1 of its iTunes software, which patches some security holes, speeds up iPod syncing and introduces a few new features.
The most interesting of the additions seems to be something called iTunes DJ, which allows anyone with an iPod Touch or an iPhone and the Remote app to request songs from any stereo system that is running the iTunes DJ program.
Say, for example, you are at a party, listening to music over a system controlled by iTunes DJ. Using your iPhone, you can now look at all the songs that are available on your host’s computer and choose which one you’d like to hear next.
You can even interrupt the song that’s currently playing to put on the song you want to hear — which seems like an invitation to anarchy. I greatly look forward to the ensuing fights.
