Previously, if iTunes customers had a desired product in mind, they had to resort to clicking on multiple pages to get to that specific item. But now Apple has given iTunes a much-needed improvement that will certainly assist users in quickly finding apps and videos in the iTunes Store. This small makeover adds the ability for users to peruse the whole store in a “Quick View mode” which will let them purchase items without leaving the current page.

Apple has formally launched the iTunes Match service in the U.K., Germany, Canada, Mexico, Australia, Ireland, and other regions. Several users noticed that within the iTunes program there was a new option that allowed them to subscribe to iTunes Match. The service wasn’t expected to arrive until at least the start of 2012, but it seems Apple managed to get the service up and running quicker than was anticipated for international users.

Apple yesterday opened the digital doors to their iTunes Music Store in Brazil, and will continue its Latin American expansion by reaching Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru and Venezuela. Apple also debuted the iTunes Match service in Brazil.

Adding weight to the rumors that Apple is planning to discontinue the iPod Classic and Shuffle models, the company has removed click wheel iPod games from the iTunes Store. Click wheel iPods haven’t seen a new game since February of 2009 when Apple stopped supporting development to focus strictly on iOS. The click wheel games, however, remained in the iTunes Store until recently when they were pulled (there is no word on when exactly that happened, though).

Until now, it hasn’t been clear whether iTunes Match users are able to stream or download their stored music for local play on a computer or iDevice. Downloading has now been confirmed as a feature of iTunes Match, so you won’t always have to be connected to the Internet to listen to your entire music collection should you choose downloading over streaming and provided you have enough free space on your iDevice or computer.

If you’re a college student or work at a school and are thinking of buying a new Mac, this is a great time to do it. Buy a new iMac, MacBook, MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, and Mac Pro (Mac mini doesn’t qualify) from the Apple Store or a participating Apple Authorized Campus Store from June 16, 2011 through September 20, 2011, and receive a $100 Back to School Card for use on the Mac App Store, the iTunes Store, the App Store, and the iBookstore.

Apple has added the iBookstore to iTunes, a needed addition that should have been available since the introduction of iBooks, in my personal opinion. The iBookstore now allows users to purchase and download books from within iTunes and sync them with your iDevices rather than only making it possible to purchase the books on the actual iDevice.

Along with the new implementation of Automatic Downloads within iOS, Apple has also added another new feature within the App Store and iTunes apps. You may recognize the new feature—the “Purchased” button now within the apps—from the WWDC keynote yesterday. Within the App Store, you can find the new button in the Updates tab, while it has become a tab of its own in the iTunes app.

Apparently, Jon Bon Jovi has had enough of Charlie Sheen stealing the celebrity idiot spotlight. In an interview with The Sunday Times Magazine, Bon Jovi claimed, “Steve Jobs is personally responsible for killing the music business.” And just how did he do it? With things like music previews, album extras like music videos and apparently less allowance from daddy.

CNN is reporting that Apple and other digital music retailers are currently negotiating with numerous record labels to gain access to 24-bit quality audio content. This would mean that Apple would have access to audio content at the same level of quality at which it was recorded. But will you be able to tell the difference? Here’s how music gets to you today…
