iTunes 7, released today, sports some new UI tweaks (cf. source list preview). Now, being one for consistency, I have to believe the rest of Aqua will change along with it (right? right!?), but it’s odd we didn’t see anything different in the latest Leopard preview. Although, iTunes has consistently been the earliest adopter of most UI trends.
While I haven’t seen the new UI enough yet to gauge whether or not I like it, I hope this isn’t just another “visual fork” but rather a preview of a new, consistent look for OS X.
(Oh, and I hope Apple hired or gave the author of CoverFlow some cash for integrating his app—including the name—into iTunes proper.)
