iTunes 11 to Launch as Soon as Thursday?
As soon as? It's been delayed an entire month, is "due" out this month, and we only have two days left!
iTunes 11 to Launch as Soon as Thursday?
APple is really pushing the limits when it comes to promises, releasedates and delays these days. Would be good for their reputation if actually one release was a bit ahead of time for once.
My iTunes library was around 3 TB last time i checked and about half of it is music. iTunes works fine here.
So I quickly read page 1,4 and 5 of this thread but didn't see anything mentioned about PowerPC compatibility.
Sorry if I missed any posts mentioning it but it makes sense if the new iTunes doesn't support PPC but:
I know many people using an old G4 PowerBook, with external hard drives, to serve as their iTunes music and video to their AppleTv.
How will the current AppleTV work, if it also gets a software upgrade?
Hopefully newer Macs get direct streaming like airdrop?
What about AppleScript which Apple has been depreciating over the years, bc I use it often in iTunes.
Do you have a big CD collection? Or do you keep AIF versions of your CDs? Or did you just pirate the entire Pirate Bay? 1.5TB of music is enormous
Looking forward to these, hope the damm "problem" with itunes asking for password/login apple id everytime i open its fixed
I almost forgot about that. I love AppleScript, and I don't know why Apple is trying to kill it. It's very useful and easy to use!
iTunes should work on newer PPC Macs, by the way. You know why? It works on Windows XP SP2, which can run on, say, a 1998 PC!

Amen to that! All I want is for iTunes to show what I'm listening to on Facebook. Not sure why, but I want it.
There needs to be an iTunes light version for those of us who just need to play mp3s from a library. iTunes is way too bloated and there are many people that don't need and will never use the ipod, ipad, iphone connectivity, the app store, music store, etc. I have no iDevices and don't need the extra junk that comes with iTunes.
also, itunes is really bad at handling libraries with over 200gb of music. it becomes a memory and cpu hog, sometimes hitting 200mb of ram... a simple mp3 player shouldn't use that much memory.

It was designed for iPods in version 2 and up, so you could say that it was not ORIGINALLY designed for iPods.
Do you use home sharing? My library is half as big (around 300GB music), and while accessing it from my Apple TVs works fine, opening the share from the Videos / Music app on my iDevices takes *forever*, if it finishes at all. That's especially embarrassing when there are 3rd party alternatives that access the same library almost instantly (e.g. Subsonic, AirVideo).
I'd still prefer to use Home Sharing for the streamlined interface, but right now this is impossible. Hope they fix this with iTunes 11, although I don't really believe it.
First, iTunes slowness has been a non-issue for me since the 2011 update, I have much more than 200GB and more than 100,000 songs. (Been buying CDs since the late 1980s)
Second, complaining about iTunes RAM usage is ridiculous when WebKit browsers (Chrome and Safari) will waste 28 MB real RAM on a single web page that is less than 50k text only info. WebKit is the most offensive computer offering RAM wise. Load a web page with automatic Flash loading and it may steal 500 MB of real RAM.

Thats a separate issue with WebKit and ultimately irrelevant. The topic at hand is iTunes.
whats wrong with iTunes taking up 100-300mb of ram? who cares? that's a pittance
