Eager to get the full iTunes experience on your AppleTV? It’s one step closer to reality: Apple will introduce support for iTunes LP and iTunes Extras on the new AppleTV sometime soon, according to a letter from Steve Jobs.
You may not have noticed, but iTunes LP and iTunes Extras is one of the more notable omissions from the new AppleTV’s feature set when compared to the old model. Support for both has been available for the first-gen AppleTV since the 3.0 software update, but that hasn’t carried over to the new, A4 and iOS powered device.
That omission irked a reader of MacRumors, so he wrote Steve Jobs, who answered with characteristic succinctness: “Coming.”
Coming when, exactly? Who knows, but if iTunes LP and iTunes Extras comes to the AppleTV’s flavor of iOS, there’s at least a chance it’ll come to iPhones and iPads at the same time. Let’s hope!
