More Apple reviews , RRP: Free

The good:

  • Apple iTunes 7 shines with a refined but still-intuitive interface
  • Fabulous and useful Cover Flow album view adds dimension to music
  • iTunes Store now features movies and games
  • Movie pricing is consistent and competitive
  • Supports gapless audio playback
  • Can find missing album art
  • Has new features such as Download Manager

The bad:

  • iTunes 7, along with Cover Flow, is more processor-intensive than version 6
  • Underdeveloped Radio section
  • No built-in recording features
  • Movie downloads are not available outside the US
  • Some bugs reported by users
  • Album art retrieval feature needs work

The bottomline:

Apple iTunes 7 is a required upgrade for new iPod owners. Its refined interface, particularly Cover Flow, and useful new features trump the fact that the application is processor intensive.
