   iTunes 11.1 Adds iOS 7 Compatibility and iTunes Radio

   Josh Centers

   Apple has released [1]iTunes 11.1 with some major new features. Most
   importantly, this release offers compatibility with iOS 7, and you'll
   need iTunes 11.1 to sync an iOS 7 device with your Mac.

   However, the marquee feature is iTunes Radio, Apple's new free
   streaming music service. To access it, select Radio near the top of the
   screen while in your music library. For in-depth coverage, see
   "[2]FunBITS: Tune into iTunes Radio," 18 September 2013.

   Another major new feature is Genius Shuffle, which plays a series of
   random, yet related tracks. To try it out, choose Controls > Genius
   Shuffle, press Option-Space on the keyboard, or Option-click the Genius
   Shuffle button, located on the left side of the player controls where
   the Last Track button would normally be.

   Good news for podcast fans: iTunes 11.1 finally syncs podcasts
   wirelessly over iCloud with Apple's [5]Podcasts app for iOS (which
   doesn't appear to be updated for iOS 7 yet). Also new is the My
   Stations feature, which lets you create smart playlists for your
   podcasts and sync them with the iOS app.
