iTunes LP now available for Apple TV customers
Posted Nov 6th 2009 8:45AM by Dave Caolo
A few of us here at TUAW received an email from Apple this morning stating that Apple TV-compatible versions of previous iTunes LP purchases are available for download. You'll remember that LP purchases made before the Apple TV 3.0 release would need a second download to work with the Apple TV. Apple is now offering those downloads.The email from Apple is very straight-forward:
"With the latest versions of iTunes (9.0.2) and Apple TV software (3.0), you can now use iTunes LP on your Apple TV. We have updated the iTunes LP that was included with [your previous purchase here] so that it can now be viewed on Apple TV in addition to your Mac or PC...."
From there, the message provides a download link. Grab it, sync your Apple TV and you're off. My own is syncing as I type this, so we'll let you know how it looks and behaves later today. In the meantime, enjoy iTunes LP on your Apple TV!

Why TUAW does not write about the problems of the App Store for the past 2 days?
It's not just the messed up ratings... it appears that updates will no longer be placed on the list of recently released apps...

They did write about. They were the only place that I saw report it actually.

They reported 2 days ago about the ratings. They also reported that it was fixed. It was not fixed. It still persists. Apps appear with release date 12-Nov (which is 6 days in the future). Updates no longer appear on the list of recently released apps.

Some iTunes LPs will require updating before they will work on AppleTV. The email you received was merely telling you that the specific LP was ready. You will receive email messages for each LP you have purchased prior to 3.0 when it's compatibility update is ready.
This post is misleading. It implies that once you download 1 update, all your LPs will work. That is not the case. When each LP update is ready, you will be notified to download the revised version.

I would say the MORE misleading part about the post is that a number people have reported receiving that e-mail and I assumed it was a slow roll-out (based on some Apple.com forum threads) but based on 'iTunes LP now available' I would think that would mean for everyone.

Well, I upgraded my Grateful Dead iTunes LP track, and now my Apple TV just says something to the affect that it can not find the media. So, that worked well. I haven't tried restarting the Apple TV, but I've synced it more than a couple of times. So close...
I am happy with the iTunes Extras implemetation. Which works just fine, if not a little laggy.

Works well enough; but is buggy. Going from Batman Begins extra's menu to a tv program using iPhone Apple Remote the background music carries on playing.

The other fun thing that Apple visited on ATV owners the last couple of days was all of their media being erased.
