Apple on Tuesday released iTunes 4.9, a new version of their digital music jukebox and music download store software for Mac OS X and Windows. The new release features the ability to browse and subscribe to “podcasts” — radio-style shows that you can download over the Internet and listen to either in iTunes or using an Apple iPod.

The software has been released through Mac OS X’s Software Update system preferences pane, and it’s also available as a separate download from Apple’s Web site. System requirements call for Mac OS X v10.2.8 or later, G3/400MHz or faster, QuickTime 6.2 or later and 256MB RAM. Broadband Internet connection recommended for buying and streaming music.

Apple/ipod ping

I wonder if my if the new version will keep my ipod mini battery from needing a $100 replacement after 18 months.

Of course I wonder that whenever I see a PR release from crApple.

[Spktyr]

I'm well over the three year mark on my 1st Gen 5gb iPod. Still don't need a new battery.

[Rammer]

How does the new iTunes compare with Netster to go or Rhapsody to go?

Is it still purchase only, or can you "rent" like either of the other two?

I'm considering jumping into the online music world, but not sure which way to go.

Hmm my wife has had her iPod damn near four years and no batter problems..

[SoftballMominVA]

I'm liking the ipod set up--we just got one last week. It transferred all of the music already on my computer and the itunes is by far the easiest piece of software to use I've found yet. You own the music you download, not a rental. So far, I'm happy, course it's only been a week

[Panerai]

No, iTunes still does not rent music. I like to "rent" my music from P2P's like Gnutella.

[linkinpunk]

Try BearShare.

It's a great way to "rent" music.

[linkinpunk]
