Apple released an update to iTunes 4 last night. The biggest (and most annoying) news is that they limited the playlist sharing to the local subnet. This doesn't surprise me in the least. I wish there was some way to handle sharing out to one or two remote systems though. Either through a password or something. I'd love to have access to my music wherever I am on the net. Though, I guess I can use my iPod for that.
Now for The Good. Applescript programs are now able to get access to the currently playing song if it is being played from a remote machine. In the past iTunes just wouldn't report it at all. This is one of the big features I'd been looking for. So, now I think you'll see what I'm listening to over on the left column more often.
