Apple released iTunes LP simultaneously with iTunes 9 back in September. It's Apples digital answer to the old Jewel cases. When you buy an iTunes LP album from the iTunes store you get an extra package besides the songs. This package contains a pretty menu and tons of extras like behind the scenes footage, exclusive interviews and music videos. You can view iTunes LP content on a Mac/PC with iTunes 9 or higher or on an Apple TV with the latest s/w update. Biggest problem which people were having was that it wasn't documented how to make that extra package. Apple has changed that by releasing the iTunes LP/extras SDK for developers. This will make it possible for indie/major artists to release their own iTunes LP content.

Besides this Boy Genius Report is reporting that Apple will revamp the current iDVD version with the release of iLife '10. Their 'pretty accurate' source reports that Apple will add iTunes LP to the next version. iDVD was one of the only apps in the iLife suite to not get an update with the iLife '08 to '09 changeover.
