Updated iTunes LPs for Apple TV 3.0 Now Available
Apple today began notifying purchasers of its iTunes LP offerings that updated versions compatible with the new Apple TV 3.0 software are now available for download. Apple delivered the Apple TV 3.0 software update to users last week, bringing a number of new features including iTunes LPs, iTunes Extras, Genius Mixes, and Internet radio to the company's set-top television box.
With the latest versions of iTunes (9.0.2) and Apple TV software (3.0), you can now use iTunes LP on your Apple TV. We have updated the iTunes LP that was included with (your purchase) so that it can now be viewed on Apple TV in addition to your Mac or PC. It is available for you to download now, free of charge.
Apple introduced its iTunes LP offering of enhanced album content in early September, and evidence had suggested that the format was designed with the Apple TV in mind. It appears, however, that a slight tweak to Apple's original Apple TV 3.0 software plans required the company to alter the iTunes LP format. This in turn required users who downloaded early versions of iTunes LPs to update to the new revised versions compatible with the full range of Apple devices.Top Rated Comments

I've bought a couple of the LPs already, when buying the CDs anyway it's a nice addition. Especially from an artist you really enjoy.

How many people actually use iTunes LP? Just out of curiosity.
probably not many cause its still very new with not many available, which without being insulting makes it a silly question really, maybe you should ask of who has bought them who enjoys them? there is no reason not to have the extra content if you are buying the album / film anyway.
on another note, I got my LP email for a download link but have yet to receive my movie extra email link, has anyone else got this yet?

I got an email about my iTunes Extra of Wall•E yesterday and for my iTunes LP of Highway 61 early this morning.

I'm predicting that the Mac tablet will have the form factor of an LP. It will be like a Kindle, but for 1950-1980 record albums. :D

I got one Wednesday that looked like a spammer message. I think I deleted it...
Is the update automatic for iTunes LP's that you have or do I need 'the link' to get it?
Tangent: How common are iTunes spammed receipts? I get them occasionally by an email account that I rarely use and trash them immediately...
Another tangent: I'm thinking of getting a 'nooky book' from B&N... What a name... Wish the Apple 'tablet' would come out before Christmas or Apple might find a problem selling against people that have already bought, and made investments in, prior technology that might (Hah! Probably won't) be compatible...

Hay, that would be fine for us old timers... Beats the hell out of little Brittany Spears and all the other 'pop tarts' out there today... :-P (That includes Justin too)

You can be sure, they did that by design.Smart really...
If you've already bought a LP or two, it's a pain in the ass to download again -- I think the general thought people will have is/will be "Apple, get your act together... LPs just came out and we're having to download them all over again?!"
If the email came all-official with Apple logos, the tainted message of more work would be reinforced with the Apple Brand -- why associate "bad" news with your brand?
Generic look for the bad stuff -- people remember more of what they see/read than just read... visual memories last longer than "just the facts".
... this time next year, people won't even remember they had to download twice. They might if the email were more corporate.

I love them, but the selection is so small right now, I really just got one to mess around with.
I hope it takes off with music, because I buy plenty of full albums and would love to have it with all of them. Unfortunately, I don't really expect it to be too popular; hopefully I'm wrong.
With movies, on the other hand, I can see it being big.
