In yesterday's coverage of iTune 7.0.2 I somehow overlooked the fact that Apple also added a Latino section to the iTunes Music store. In addition to a greatly improved catalog of Latino music, the new section features Spanish language movies and television shows from the popular Telemundo network.
Like most of the iTunes Music Store, the focus is on mainstream artists and at the moment the selection is a bit wanting (particularly in Brazilan Jazz) but hopefully that will improve in the future.
There is also a whole section of Spanish language podcasts, audio books and music videos. Unfortunately there does not seem to be any Spanish language movies at the moment.
Many of the artists now in the iTunes Latino Store were formerly listed under the "world" genre, but there are also new artists as well. It's nice to see Apple at least partially abandon what I've always considered the most meaningless of genres, "world," in favor of something that makes sense.
