The nex september 5 Apple is gearing up a music related event, gossip elsewhere predicts the new ipod nano (the fat one) or the new touchscreen ipod witht wifi, a movie rental service in itunes and even itunes kiosk, to deliver the goody everywhere. Of course do not forget the Beatles catalog, this prediction is always on every Apple event.

I hope Apple brings some features missing for years in itunes:

• Karaoke, automatic voice removal to make karaoke and a text editor. Imagine connecting your Ipod to your tv and start karaoking inmediately.
• Video Karaoke. automatic voice removal to make karaoke and a text editor.
• Automatic lyrics download.
• Artist sections with biography, pictures and else, this will make itunes the must-visit site for information about music even if you do not buy from it.
• Apple has a tremendous oportunity to become even more important in the music space if place a “UNSIGNED BANDS” section in itunes, promotes those unsigned players and earns something in the mean time.

You know what I will go even further, why not a itunes tv channel, just for promoting artists, like those TV networks. The chances are just waiting for Apple to cashes more from itunes directly, placing ads or selling more music related stuff.

Now that itunes in established, Apple must does whatever it takes to keep it number one. If Apple sleeps Microsoft, Nokia and maybe Hulu eats Apple’s candies.
