`Apple Introduces iTunes — World’s Best and Easiest To Use
`
`Jukebox Software
`
`MACWORLD EXPO, SAN FRANCISCO—January 9, 2001—Apple® today introduced iTunes, the world’s best and easiest to use
`“jukebox“ software that lets users create and manage their own music library on their Mac®. iTunes lets Mac users import
`songs from their favorite CDs; compress them into the popular MP3 format and store them on their computer’s hard drive;
`organize their music using powerful searching, browsing and play list features; watch stunning visualizations on their
`computer screen; and burn their own audio CDs — all in one easy—to—use application. Exclusively for Mac users, iTunes is
`available as a free download from www.apple.com.
`
`“Apple has done what Apple does best — make complex applications easy, and make them even more powerful in the
`process," said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “iTunes is miles ahead of every otherjukebox application, and we hope its dramatically
`simpler user interface will bring even more people into the digital music revolution."
`
`As the ultimate way to manage digital music and create custom CDs, iTunes lets users:
`
`I import an unlimited number of audio tracks and encode them into the popular MP3 format;
`I accelerate the encoding process when working on Apple’s Power MacTM G4 with Velocity Engine‘“;
`I organize their music collection using powerful but simple to use tools including a real—time search engine and single—
`click browsing by artist, album or genre;
`I listen to MP3s, audio CDs or hundreds of Internet radio stations;
`I watch a visual representation of the music being played, which is synched to the beat of the music;
`I create custom music CDs with the Power Mac G4’s new CD—RW and a combination CD—RW/DVD—R SuperDrive that reads
`and writes both CD5 and DVDs in a simple, one—step process with no extra CD—burning software required; and
`I download songs to popular MP3 players from Rio and Creative Labs with plug—and—play simplicity with no extra software
`or complicated driver installations required.
`
`Availability
`iTunes is immediately available as a free download from www.apple.com for use with Macintosh systems introduced since
`August I998. Users can burn their own CDs using the Power Mac G4’s new CD—RW or combination CD—RW/DVD—R SuperDrive.
`Mac OSTM 9.0.4 or Mac OS 9.] is required for running iTunes. Both are available as free downloads at www.apple.com.
`
`Apple ignited the personal computer revolution in the 19705 with the Apple II and reinvented the personal computer in the
`19805 with the Macintosh. Apple is committed to bringing the best personal computing experience to students, educators and
`creative professionals and consumers around the world through its innovative hardware, software and Internet offerings.
