Although iTunes has always been one of the best pieces of jukebox software available, the company continues to improve upon a great thing with version 6, which adds the much-rumored video capabilities. Though the last major release of this program featured a revamped design, the big news this time around is a video player that accomodates both your own files and ones you buy at the iTunes Music Store. The experience of both purchasing and playing videos is almost identical to perfoming the same actions with music, so seasoned users will have no trouble. All the features we've loved from past versions are still intact, including seamless iPod integration, smart playlists, CD burning, label printing, the ability to rip files in multiple formats (except WMA), network sharing, and, of course, the enormously successful iTunes Music Store. Rounding out the feature set are parental controls, integrated podcasts, and a smart-shuffle option. Whether you're already among the converted or have yet to try this top-notch player, iTunes 6 should find a home on any media junkie's computer.
