Apple® today introduced iTunes 10 with Ping, a new music-oriented social network for following your favorite artists and friends to discover what music they’re talking about, listening to and downloading. The new iTunes 10 features a sleeker interface, with light gray icons, relocated controls, a new library view interface, and a lighter color scheme.

One of the most notable additions to iTunes 10 is a social feature called Ping, which Steve Jobs described as a combination of Facebook and Twitter, with a twist for music fans. The feature is exclusive to iTunes jukebox software users and lets you post your status (like on Facebook or Twitter), and artists and band have their own pages (like on Facebook) to update fans following them with their latest news. Ping will let you see what music your friends/followers are listening, making the discovery process easier. You will also get a personalized top 10 list of songs and albums your friends are downloading from iTunes.
