Software update: Apple iTunes 5

Steve Jobs not only showed a new iPod at a press conference in San Francisco, but also made available a new version of iTunes. Apple iTunes allows you not only to manage your music collection, but also to buy songs (single songs and albums) through the online music store. If you own an iPod, you can also put songs on the iPod. iTunes 5 is available for Mac OS X and Windows and comes with some new improvements. In addition to support for the iPod Nano and the Motorola ROKR E1 iTunes phone, the 5 series also has a new search bar, the shuffle functions have been improved – for example, the phone can easily be filled with a random selection – and Windows users now have the ability to sync their iPod with contacts and appointments in Outlook (Express). Furthermore, playlists can be handled more easily.
