maybe they will announce the iTunes 11 release date at the apple shareholders meeting on oct 24?
the new iPod touchs are out..shouldn't they release the new itunes version today? i want it
You want it? You do not even know what it is...lol
I know that, it was a joke on how the marketing engine of Apple makes people desire things to a point of impatience they know very little about, just tidbits of information.
I was in software sales for years and WISH I could have generated such desires with just a few screen shots and nice words.
Ah right
Yeah, if there's one thing Apple always do well it's building up hype. Regardless of how good or bad something is, there's always a flock of people going to try it out.

I believe the release date will be between Oct. 21st and Oct. 25th. However that is not a firm date

New poster who is giving out release dates....check.
I hope so.
It's so archaic. And ugly. It's cluttered, and it's been that way since the beginning. It's time for a revamp. More modern, simple, intuitive, graphical, and appealing.
If iTunes 11 is that radical (ie things missing that millions of people use) will they make it so iTunes 10 can continue to work even if you have 11 installed?
A bit like QuickTime 7 pro -> X, iMovie HD -> iMovie, FCP 7 -> X, etc
Actually, come to think of it, these were all controversial transitions to flashy, new versions which lacked features. I happen to like the new versions but it is really annoying having to dip back into the old version to achieve certain things.
That said, I doubt a library-based, cloud-connected app like iTunes will offer backwards compatibility. I'm definitely going to wait and see how the early adopters get on.

These changes all coincided with architectural changes. Something iTunes has been in need of since the switch to Intel. I would sacrifice features for performance. It will still work more or less the same since I only ever list view.
It seems to me that there has been a constant litany here, and elswhere, that iTunes needs an entire overhaul/is trying to do too much in one application, etc. etc. So when they DO rty to revamp the app...
Yep.. People start complaining.
Damned if they do...damned if they don't.
Ho hum.
