Apple is holding an iPod-themed event Wednesday at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Theater in San Francisco.
10:27 Jobs is back on stage. "So now let's move onto iPod." Brings Phil Schiller, marketing chief on stage.
10:27 The feature is also available for movies. Shows extra features on Wall-E for example.
10:20 Robin shows new iTunes store. Points to new navigation bar at the top with a drop down that takes users to genre. Preview button on top charts allows users to listen to what the song is like. Arrows on buy buttons on the store allows users to gift the album, add to wishlist or share on Facebook or Twitter. some applause, but not hugely enthusiastic.
10:16 Yet another feature of iTunes 9 is iTunes LP. Jobs says, "Some of us are old enough here to have bought LPs and it was great." (Scattered chuckles in audience). Shows how "albums" can show lyrics, chorology, videos, etc. Some of the examples of albums he shows are by Grateful Dead, Pearl Jam, Dave Matthews, Norah Jones. Next up Jeff Robin, VP of iTunes engineering to demo the new iTunes.
10:13 Another new feature is improved syncing that lets users be more specific in their syncing conditions. One example that Jobs gave to great laughter: "I want the latest three movies, but I always want Ratatouille." He gets more cheering when he shows how users can manage apps on the iTunes computer interface.
10:11 New feature: Genius mixes - Imagine a Genius DJ. iTunes will make up to 12 of them. They'll go on and on playing songs that go well together in your library. It's like a great radio station, says Jobs.
10:09 iTunes Genius has submitted 54 billion songs to be analyzed, and it's gotten "smarter and smarter and smarter"
10:08 Now back to music. Apple says iTunes is the #1 music retailer in the world with 100 million accounts in 23 countries. Announcing next major release of iTunes.
10:05 Says he's here to talk about music today, but first the iPhone. In a little over two years, Apple has sold 30 million iPhones. Adding Genius recommendations for the App Store like music. Finally, user and app developers' complaints that it's hard to find good apps may be solved. Apple is also adding ring tones.
10:02 Jobs says he has a liver of a mid-20s person who was generous enough to donate his organ after a car accident. Thanks COO Tim Cook and Apple community. Gets huge applause. 10:00: Steve Jobs appears and gets a standing ovation. Looks same as he did last October, thin but smiling.
9:57: Anticipation mounts about whether Jobs will appear after Bloomberg reports that he was seen walking in the back door.
9:37 a.m. PST: Still in line outside, but one VIP is already in: Google CEO Eric Schmidt, who until last month was an Apple board member.

Up here so high I start to shake, Up here so high the sky I scrape, I've no fear but for falling down, So look out below I am falling now, Falling down,...not staying down, Could’ve held me up, rather tear me down, Drown in the river

Link to the video of Jobs speech: http://events.apple.com.edgesuite.net/0909oijasdv/event/index.html?internal=ijalrmacu The part where he talks about iTunes LP and mentions Pearl Jam is about 14 mins in.
