First reported screenshots of iTunes 9 emerge; Facebook, Twitter and Last.fm integration showcased

Jennifer Lopez is 40? That’s nuts.

They might as well just put Safari in it instead of attaching it to every update download. I’ve probably removed Safari 10 times (kids). Let’s make it a bigger piece of crap.

Fake? Because of the shadow?
You´re pretty stupid.
You know there´s a freaking checkbox option to take out the shadow, right?

On my screen, I can see a faint yet obvious square around the 9 in the first pic.

And someone on BusinessWeek reported this as fact? Sad.

FAKE!!!
Damn these people are good with the photoshop but sadly it is a fake.
A real good fake though.
I don’t know if you have not noticed, but in the picture with the ‘About iTunes’ window, look at the font. The number, ’9′ is much larger that the iTunes font size.
Now I am not saying that Apple will not implement these features in iTunes 9. But what I can tell you is that that image has some serious discrepancy- I can’t see if there is anymore but that is definitely one red herring.
It will be nice though.
For reference, launch iTunes and check the about iTunes submenu. The ’8′ and the ‘T’ in iTunes are of the same vertical height.
Anything else anyone can spot?

Yeah like I’ll jump on this. Rule #1 when updating iTunes- wait 6 mos MINIMUM. Don’t believe me? Check the Apple iTunes forums, just look under “Help! I updated to v8.2.x and now I can’t…..(fill in what is now a mess)”

My bet is they change the logo. And ui. So I agree, fake.

It’s all real and to be here soon!

You dumbass. This is a Windows screenshot. Can’t you see the menus inside the window?

FAILED … 0/10 for ingenuity

1. The iTunes 9 appears fake .. i. the 9 is a different font, too large and as bold as the iTunes text. ii. The rolling text on the about page is consistent with itunes8

2. the Social playlist is just a normal playlist created & named social. Apple would have created a special icon for such playlists to differentiate it from regular playlists as per the itunes dj and genius icons immediately above.

3. the last.fm icon etc is obviously photoshopped in (it’s in bold rather than the non bold other items; orange icon on the blue background shows signs of a grey/white border, it is also misaligned (it’s more horizontal than the icons above), and the last.fm is placed slightly to the right of the other names in that column without allowing for kerning

not to mention in the about iTunes screen no shadow on the window and also look there is no smoothing on the top edge of the box that is supposed to be rounded. You can see fragments of white hard corner, bad C&P job there… LAZY!

anyone who takes the time to make fake pictures of itunes 9 must have an insane amount of free time on their hands

PCs don’t have shadowed windows!

The has been playing for 1:06 in all pictures where it is visible. LOL! So fake!

open up your last.fm client and play a song.

note the big red last.fm logo in the lower right corner.

note the similarities with regard to layout, fonts, etc

note the deliberate absence of that corner of the white last.fm area in the screenshot.

this fake was so appallingly bad that i had to prove that it could’ve been done better…

took about 20 minutes. uses screenshots, h/s/b, and a little bit of magic wand action.

Adam, you’re a real boss Why don’t you submit your photos to BGR and let them post it. LOLz! Yeah but for real, anybody could have done that with photoshop. But I love your social icon!

Last.fm button looks faked. It doens’t have the same styling as the a regular button, nor when the menu is active.

I’d like to see this actually happen, because it would save me having to have a seperate process for Last.FM but this screenshot is obviously fake, because there is a white background visible on the corners of the Last.FM logo, Apple would never let a piece of software get out with a design faux pas like that!
