iTunes 10.0.1 Update Finally Makes Ping Social Network Into a Social Network [Ping]

Like a lot of people, I activated Ping when Apple revealed it earlier this month, and then like plenty of people I ended using it. Where’s the, um, social? Why is it saying I am keen on a lot of these Britney Spears remixes? Et cetera.

But the newest software update from Apple might go a little bit way toward fixing and answering at the very least any such pressing questions.

One most notable changes in 10.0.1 is the power to exploit Ping…together with your own iTunes library. What an idea!

What this suggests is the previous setup, wherein a user would need to share songs via the iTunes Store and nowhere else, is gone. It’s been replaced with a Ping button next to every song you own. With the button, located in a drop down menu accompanying your whole hot tracks, you’ll be able to ” like” that song, or post it for your profile with a note. Or you should use the drop down menu to seek out that artist song or album within the iTunes Store.

It’s a minor tweak, and the network remains limited by the undeniable fact that Apple continues to not provide any quite serious access to Facebook or Twitter, nevertheless it’s a start for all you share-crazy music lovers in the market. [ TechCrunch ]
