Apple Kills 'SpyTunes' Meme Dead in its Tracks

John Paczkowski writes over on Good Morning, Silicon Valley (GMSV):

Responding to privacy concerns over its iTunes 'MiniStore', the company has deactivated the feature and now offers a dialogue explaining it:

"The iTunes MiniStore allows you to discover new music and videos right from your iTunes Library," the notice reads. "As you select items in your Library, information about that item is sent to Apple and the MiniStore will show you related songs or videos. Apple does not keep any information related to the contents of your music Library. Would you like to turn on the MiniStore now?”

A much better approach to the feature, and one that should have been used from the beginning.
