Apple’s latest iTunes 11.1 Beta, which is now available for the developers, brings a new feature which I’ve always wanted, which is to display a notification of the current song which is being played.
While I am yet to risk my huge iTunes Library with the beta build from Apple, a reddit user has posted a screenshot of iTunes displaying a notification in the Mavericks Notification Center, for the current song which is being played from the library.
iTunes 11.1 brings iTunes Radio to the desktops, which I thought would be a iOS only exclusive. The company seeded the developer build of iTunes this week, along with iOS 7 Beta 4 for all the compatible mobile devices.
The Apple’s Developer Portal is not fully up and running yet, but the company has put out a tracking page which lets the developers and users to see the services which are up and running in the portal.
There was a terminal command which did this earlier on Mac, but this is pretty cool since it comes bundled with Mavericks and iTunes 11.1. I also found a funny comment in reddit which said that the notification feature works for Nicki Minaj and One Direction.
