iTunes 8 has now been officially released, featuring HD TV shows, a new playlist feature and improved iTunes browsing.
Apple today released iTunes 8 during its Let's Rock event in San Francisco. Available immediately, iTunes 8 include features such as accessibility, HD TV shows, improved browsing and a new playlist function called Genius.
With the introduction of HD TV shows, Apple also announced that NBC is returning to iTunes. Shows such as Monk, The Office, Battlestar Galactica, 30 Rock and Heroes will all be available in HD. HD shows from all content partners will cost $2.99 and $1.99 for SD shows. They can be played on both Apple TV and your computer.
iTunes 8 also features improved browsing functionality. A new bar at the top let's you look at anything graphically in little tiles - by album, genre, composer, and it also works for movies and TV shows.
Apple also introduced Genius, a new feature that automatically creates playlists from songs in your library, based on user preferences about which songs go great together. Additionally, you can synchronize your Genius playlists with Apple's own iTunes 8 servers, which will then analyze and combine your information with other users' Genius playlists. iTunes 8 will handle your Genius playlists anonymously. The master plan is simply to use this feature in order to come up with targeted buying recommendations for you, based on a large database of Genius playlists.

Hmm... Genius isn't living up to my expectations...
EDIT: Actually, I think I may have spoken too soon:
That's not bad going!
