Apple Releases iTunes 7.2, Launches iTunes Plus (DRM Free)

[Evangelion]

99 cents is way to much for a song....

Is good music of your choice that worthless to you?

 

[Peace]

What's the pricing going to be for upgrading albums?

I kinda remember Jobs saying the new 256k bitrate songs would be $1.49 and the upgrade would be $.39 per song.

wanted to let everybody know ummm the new update supports vista now that anybody would care.....

Haha, nice catch.

I've encountred a bug...

After updating iTunes, and relaunching my music is gone. The files are still there but they're not showing up on "Music" under library. What gives? iTunes Store works perfectly. No podasts either. Anything i can do?

EDIT- I'm using UNO. After updating iTunes reverted to default Aqua which I changed. Only after this did I encounter the problem.

I'm sure both Vista users will be happy to hear that.

I wonder if the previews have already been upgraded to the higher bitrate?

I have a few previews in my shopping cart that I've listened to over and over, and today one of them is a different part of the song.

In the podcast section, podcasts with "The" as the opening word are now sorted by the second word... "The Dave Ramsey Show" is now sorted under "Dave" not "The".

I believe this is an iTunes 7.0 feature.

EDIT: It also auto-sorts my shuffle by ALBUM not the normal SORT ORDER, which is an annoying bug. Have sent feedback to Apple.

This is probably because when you click on the shuffle, you've set it to sort by album in iTunes. Just select your shuffle in the source list, then make sure the list in iTunes is sorted by the sort order, not by album.

All I know is My Dave Ramsey used to be at the bottom of my list, and now it is at the top.

This is probably because when you click on the shuffle, you've set it to sort by album in iTunes. Just select your shuffle in the source list, then make sure the list in iTunes is sorted by the sort order, not by album.

Let me explain better. The playlist inside of iTunes has "Album" selected every time I plug in my shuffle. I want it to always be sorted by the sort order, not Album. It plays in the correct order, it is the playlist in iTunes that is weirdified...

Uno can really mess this stuff up. Uninstall and reinstall it and that usually fixes it for me.

I heard that it will be free.

Upgrading a single song will cost extra, but DRM-free albums will be the same price in the store, and upgrading an album will cost nothing.

 

[Zygon Gambit]

So when we will actually be able to actually get the non-DRM tracks?

 

[daneoni]

Breaks Aqua 4 itunes....again!.

 

[yagran]

I swear to god they better put movies and tv shows on the UK store in this store update..

OR ILL GO CRAZEE MENTAL

 

[arkitect]

Hmm. Now if I could only get hold of the update…

When I run Software Update the download bar only progresses about 1/4 of the way… then nothing until it times out.

I suppose I'll have to go the manual way via apple.com.

According to Apple 256k songs will cost $1.29, $0.30 to upgrade, no extra charge for 256k albums.

so to upgrade an entire album to 256k? .30 per song, or discount for upgrading whole album?
