iTunes 5.0, released today, features a new interface design that looks for all the world like Apple Mail. Same light blue column down the left-hand side, same graded “platinum” toolbar, same integrated titlebar and toolbar. No lozenge-shaped buttons though :-)

TUAW claims it looks like SoundJam, which was before my time. macnews.net.tc doesn’t like it.

I don’t know what it means, but it’s interesting.

Update: Daring Fireball tells the whole story.
