Oh, gosh, that is so easy to fix. Just reformat the drive, reinstall Windows, download a new copy of iTunes then re-import all your music. Any half-way knowable Windows user knows that this is just "normal monthly maintenance".
Got a tip for us?

Full Screen functionality
iTunes needs to be fixed.
Full Screen mode does not stay persistent when you navigate away. If you set iTunes up in Full Screen mode with it's own desktop in Spaces, for example, and then switch spaces, when you return, iTunes has defaulted back to GUI mode. This is really annoying and very short sighted of Apple.
The other big problem with iTunes is that CoverFlow does not function like it does on the iPhone or iPod Touch. iTunes on the Mac lets you see the album art and select only the first song if you click it. Apple needs to add the ability to flip the album cover around so you can choose the song you want.
Until they do these two things iTunes full screen CoverFlow sucks.

i personally like having letters first. it looks more organized when you open up itunes and don't see a bunch of $(%*@ right away. just my opinion. You could just click the song name tab at the top and reverse sort the whole column. not that hard.
Hopefully we should see Time Machine compatibility and the window will look like a Leopard window instead of a Tiger window.
hey, now that is a pretty good idea.
i wonder what else this update will address? either way, looking forward to it
That's an interesting point, but it seems that FrontRow is languishing along with the AppleTV. Apple has not updated these interfaces since their introduction. I personally think the whole FrontRow/AppleTV thing is going no where because Apple can't sign deals for HD media content. Regardless, Apple has shown what it can do with CoverFlow and Core Animation on the iPhone, why they are not adding this to iTunes on the Mac is perplexing.
...And what about sync'ing (correctly) Contacts and Calendars?
Man, that would be awesome!
(Couldn't resist. I wish for it on every time there is an iTunes update
)
I want the ability to rate albums as a whole and not just individual songs.
gB
That came in the last update, just go into the middle view option, and there are rating stars under each album
I wish I could take it away, they're so ugly IMO
scale able scroll bars like in logic studio?
![40mbuk7.png]()
you're saying that as if apple has anything to do with Logic .... pshhh
Interesting, I didn't notice that, empty stars? Hmm. Not sure I like that or not, but at least its there... and they can build off it.
Isn't that what Apple Lossless is for?
And I'm with everyone with wanting to split the movies to a different folder.
I do like the song in more than one album idea but it's not that important. Against a "tag" option. There's a comments section and a grouping section. What do you need tags for if you have a grouping section?
Yes I know and agree. I listen to literally evertything and have a tons of Coltrane, Miles and other jazz box sets loaded in with several or more takes of the same song but all quite different. I want a series of boxes or something I can check off. Maybe start with title, then length, year and so on.
Great idea. I would love that.
I think what I am really hoping for is speed and tons of bug fixes. Apple needs to take a breath and get their quality up. (Hardware and software, across the board.)
On that note, and related to music, I really hope we see a serious and major update to the latest iPod software. I own all three of the new models and each of them are buggy as sin...
How about the ability to change the name of your content libraries again? On older versions of iTunes, I was able to change the name from Music to Trax, or Rob's Muzak, and my movies to Flicks, but now it's stuck on Music and Movies and so on.
Redirecting from the Movies folder would be nice as well, but since I only ever really access movies through iTunes, I guess it's not too big a deal for me, but iTunes has a pretty nutty network of its own folders caught under the iTunes folder, at least on OS X. In Windows, it just takes it from wherever and leaves it there (which is why if you so much as move it to a different location, it's suddenly lost). But yeah, let me rename my stuff again, and I'll be happy as a pig in...you know.
