iTunes 4.6 Now Available

MacRumors · Jun 9, 2004, 03:13 PM

iTunes 4.6 is now available as a free update via Software Update, or available for download from Apple.

Quote:

iTunes 4.6 includes support for playing your music wirelessly using AirPort Express with AirTunes. It also includes a number of other minor enhancements.

This update was previously announced by Steve Jobs at the D: All things Digital Convference earlier this week.

I just wish that dial-up users could get like a 2MB version of the update.

first news today I didn't give a negative rating

PDubNYC · Jun 9, 2004, 03:18 PM

no problems at all, quick install. The only change I see is under the audio preferences, you can turn on AirTunes and it's volume settings

nacl99 · Jun 9, 2004, 03:21 PM

Only change I can find.

Damnit, you beat me.

King Cobra · Jun 9, 2004, 03:22 PM

Let's see...I'm on 28.8K, and the package is a little over 10MB. Meh, I still like the 4MB iTunes updates from back in iTunes 2. Maybe that's it.

macridah, lol.

WOO HOO

now only if i could get my wireless network at home up i dont knwo if i shoudl even bother seeing as half the year im in school!!!

xy14 · Jun 9, 2004, 03:26 PM

I guess I will just have to take out 10 hours to download it on my dial up connection.

I have a question for dial up users: how come it takes like 15 seconds before my modem starts dialing and my PeeCee takes only like 2 seconds?

I am talking about my iBook, specs below \/

James Craner · Jun 9, 2004, 03:27 PM

Hey well at least that's one promised delivery date that Apple has met this week.

musicpyrite · Jun 9, 2004, 03:28 PM

Yay!! Finally, I've been wating since yesterday for this.

No problem with iTunes on this computer with 4,100+ songs (

).

I am strongly considering getting an Airport Express now! It will greatly benefit my network, and I love that music streaming feature!

MightyB · Jun 9, 2004, 03:29 PM

can't get airport express until JULY anyway! :-(

porky · Jun 9, 2004, 03:29 PM

Wow, i'm only getting sick of all that beautifull software on my slooow Powerbook 667. I NEED A G5! (At a lower price for sure). Greetings from Belgium

AirUncleP · Jun 9, 2004, 03:31 PM

Cool. Now my 10 song iTunes library rocks even rock-y-er.

nacl99 · Jun 9, 2004, 03:31 PM

Anyone want to start digging into this release to find anything about Itunes Europe? I imagine there is something useful in there.

jeffgarden · Jun 9, 2004, 03:33 PM

If you used hymn to remove DRM from songs from iTMS they will NOT PLAY in the new iTunes 4.6 !!!

Wonder Boy · Jun 9, 2004, 03:33 PM

cant wait to use the new airtunes feature...in late july.

FelixDerKater · Jun 9, 2004, 03:35 PM

Dialup users are not the target market of iTMS. It is not the fault of Apple that you have dialup. Simple economics say that you upgrade your connection and pay the difference for cost vs. speed.

In my experience, there is no such thing as simple economics. Economics is by definition the science of complicating the very simple.

ah touche apple, touche. i guess it's back to my drm'd files then. itms has been losing its appeal lately though, with CDs at bestbuy going for $9.99 when released. plus i can get either frequent flier miles through continental or bestbuy's frequent buyer program miles when i buy through bestbuy.
