Just as August draws to a close, Apple has made official their much rumored September 9th music themed event. As they have done in past years, Apple has released the image above announcing the event in the style of their ubiquitous iPod and iTunes advertisements. “It’s only rock and roll, but we like it” reads the image, quoting the Rolling Stones’ song.

The BoyGeniousReport has some screenshot to go along with recent rumors surrounding iTunes 9. If you don’t recall, the update is supposed to add support for sharable playlists via Facebook integration, 3rd party devices (seriously?) and Blu-Ray playback.
