APPLE
iTUNES 4
◆ iTunes 4 supports the AAC audio format
(think high-quality sound with even small-
er file sizes), and lets you share your music
with other Mac computers on your local
Ethernet or AirPort wireless network.And
if you have a Mac with a SuperDrive,you
can archive your entire music library to
DVDs for safekeeping.
◆ A big part of MPEG-4 specifications,AAC
(Advanced Audio Coding) is a cutting-
edge encoding audio codec that’s perfect
for the Internet.AAC compresses much
more efficiently than older formats like
MP3 (which iTunes supports), while deliv-
ering quality rivaling that of uncompressed
CD audio.In fact,AAC audio files com-
pressed at 128 kbps (stereo) will be indis-
tinguishable from the original uncom-
pressed audio source.
◆ Music Sharing feature uses Rendezvous to
give you remote streaming access to your
personal music library from any room in
your house.You don’t have to manually
configure anything, Rendezvous seeks out
the other Macs on your local network and
connects to them automatically.
◆ Generate dynamic Smart Playlists that
reflect your preferences and listening
habits. Instead of having to create playlists
manually by clicking and dragging individ-
ual songs, you simply indicate what kind
of music you like to hear. Set parameters
with attributes such as Genre,Composer,
Artist, Play Count, Last Played and so on
— and then creates a personalized playlist
that’s in tune with your preferences.
