Links to an iTunes Preview page can be obtained through the iTunes Store "Copy Link" feature. Previously, users who did not have iTunes installed were prompted to do so in order to view content. Now, users can share music links via iTunes without the need to launch Apple's media suite.
The iTunes Preview page allows browsing of artists and albums on Apple's Web site. Artist biographies and similar acts can be viewed, as well as details on song prices and individual track lengths.
The new Web page also offers album reviews and customer reviews, just like is provided in the iTunes application. Content can also be browsed by genre.
Song previews, however, can not be listened to through iTunes Preview in a Web browser. The page offers links to "View in iTunes," where it can be previewed or purchased. Currently, the service only works with music.
iTunes Preview is region-less, and makes for a less intrusive option for those who do not have iTunes installed, or do not want to launch the application.
In September, Apple released iTunes 9, adding iPhone application management, iTunes LPs, and a redesigned iTunes Store. The layout update includes new artist, movie and TV pages, complete with improved navigation.
In October, Apple updated iTunes to version 9.0.2 to allow connectivity with the newly released Apple TV 3.0. Users can now view iTunes LP and iTunes Extras content via their Apple TV.

Apple has been working with the web a lot as of late. This seems like it will be very useful being that it is web-based, perfect for those people who don't have iTunes installed on their computer yet (shame on you...).
Apple Forever!!
Is it just me or is the image provided by AI in the article down?
If it is just me can someone provide an alternative link? Thanks.
Edit : Seems to be fixed now.

Wonder if you can download media from the web version. If so how are
they going to block Palm from their site?
Anyone know why some articles have a link at the bottom of them that lets you see the original story (with pictures and links), but some do not.....like this one? Where is the [ View this article at AppleInsider.com ] link?
