I confess to looking forward to Apple Special Event days like a kid anticipating Christmas. I fire up my web browser and keep several new feeds running in different tabs, and when the streaming video becomes available, I watch it as well.<\/p>\n

My problem, that this new version solves, was how to let my family access the hundreds of tv shows and movies I had collected on the Mac Mini. Of course, I know how to access everything, multiple ways, but then I’ve gone through all the startup pain of capturing and encoding them. But should I recommend firing up Front Row? iTunes?

Now, it’s a no-brainer. Everyone knows iTunes, and the new browsing mode for movies is very nice. Plus, they’ve included a floating control bar when playing video full screen, much like the Quicktime Player. Forget Front Row, this is the way to go.<\/p>\n
