iTunes 9 Rumors

I’ve been seeing some screenshots around the web regarding the next version of iTunes expected to be announced at Apple’s September event.  Though this event has been predictable each year, it has yet to be officially announced at the time of this post.  One of the features that interests me is the social networking  aspects.  Nothing specific was mentioned but ties to Facebook were evident in the screenshots, which makes me wonder if they would have iTunes able to update your status with what is currently playing.  That is a fairly simple example that is mimicked in IM clients.  I would like to see them really push the potential and perhaps have you able to stream your library or set playlists with Facebook friends as you can with people on your own LAN, just now over the Internet with select people you choose.  That would be something truly innovative and really add a lot to the way we discover and enjoy music.
