Survey Pointing At New iTunes Features? Social iTunes?

Saturday August 5, 2006 10:22 am PDT by longofest
MacShrine is reporting on a new survey by Apple regarding its iTunes music store. Feedback is requested about the following features:

- A rewards program for those who buy more from iTunes
- The ability to replace lost songs via a maintenance agreement
- More movies/TV shows to U.K. store
- The ability to view a friend's wish list, with permission
- The ability to view what a friend is currently listening to, with permission (similar to iChat iTunes current track status?)
- The ability to view a friend's playlist, with permission
- The ability to view a friend's recent purchases, with permission
- The ability to view a friend's favorite artists, with permission

As MacShrine pointed out, it would appear as though Apple is continuing the trend of MySpace, Digg, iMix, and the like and continuing to investigate features that would expand iTunes' social feature-set.

"More movies/TV shows to U.K. store", uhm, there's only one movie, which is really a musical on the US store. Where is 'more movies' coming from? And yes, I know the rumors, but we still have seen only one kinda' movie thingie....

Sounds like good iTunes 7 features. Expect it before the end of the year, alongside the new video iPod.

So it'd be kind of like last.fm?
Is all this permission stuff necessary though? Like, to view what someone is listening to?

I don't really get the appeal of all the "social" features. Maybe I'm a loser.

I'd love that replacement thing to come in, I lost a lot of music videos when my HDD carked it and I'd like to get them back.

I would definitely pay for a service agreement. I'm sure it's cheaper than having to repay for all those songs I lost.

I bet there'll be new Cinema Displays as well along with the new Mac Pro Design. The Cinema Displays are the products which havn't been updated for a looooong time.
