Apple releases iTunes update, includes iOS 7 support, Podcast Stations, Genius Shuffle

Aside from releasing iOS 7 to the market yesterday, Apple has updated its iTunes software to accommodate the new operating system and those who still use their desktop to update their iPhones. The Cupertino-based company also added the new Podcast Station, which lets you create custom stations from podcasts you regularly follow and updates new episodes automatically and syncs playback positions across devices.

Apple’s Pandora-like streaming service, iTunes Radio, is also included in this update. However, this feature is currently just available for U.S. iTunes account holders.
