More rumored details of iTunes 9 emerge
has posted maybe-real, maybe-not screenshots of the rumored iTunes 9, depicting its social networking features. The screenshots, which purportedly came from a Chinese forum and were discovered by a German blogger, depict last.fm playback and browsing features that were rumored earlier.
Meanwhile, AppleInsider is reporting that Apple will make a broader push into social media, instead of just providing iTunes integration, by releasing a separate "Social" application (it's not yet clear if it's for Mac, iPhone, or both), providing the ability to update statuses and post info on music from their iTunes library on social networking services. Also, they do further confirm earlier rumors of iPhone app organization within iTunes, allowing users to sort by name, by genre, by date added, or to set arbitrary positions.
