+one to this problem. What if they dropped iTunes for windows... I mean iPhones and iPads don't need to sync with a pc anymore at all since iCloud came out, right? ;)

I don't see this as that much of an issue. So, iTunes for Windows will remain an integrated all-in-one app. That's an easily justifiable position to take in order to ensure compatibility. Or, the installer installs all of the i-app components. Simple enough. If a component is missing when iSync is launched, it reports an error and offers to take you to Apple.com to download the installer again.

Let us not forget that Apple announced the delay for iTunes 11 a day before the month of October ended.

Who's to say that they won't do that again? They have every right to

absolutely worthied..it's sometimes (like now) having some issues but it's great. don't like spotify..wanna own my music in my itunes...stream it everywhere..it's great!

i want to own my own library too, but more importantly, have all my ratings and album art and metadata mine

i see no purpose to match, though, unless i had an iPhone and wanted to stream my library on the go. instead i use google music, which suits me fine.

Comparing a video game that a few thousand, if that, may purchase, to iTunes, a piece of software that MILLIONS around the world depend and shop on EVERY MINUTE OF A DAY is a super weak comparison. iTunes being delayed is a huge deal. Hundreds of thousands around the world are annoyed. No doubt.

When you put it that way, it's good it was delayed. It needs to be rock solid when it comes out since so many people depend on it.

Also, it's a fine comparison. Black Ops 2 sold 11M the first week.

Yesterday i was at a Apple Store here in Brisbane Australia and they hinted (Well almost told) the man next to me that come Friday there will be new iTunes Softwere and new iMac range. Friday here (Thursday US Time) so sounds about right.

I really need iTunes Match to be faster for me as i recently lost my 10,000 album libary on both my mac pro and my copy.

.... isn't that just saying that it will be out in November? As in, what Apple has said since it got delayed?

It could be. Not sure how much "In The Know" Apple store employees are. It's kinda a gray area at times. I really cannot see a Saturday Australian release date (Given our iTunes refereshes On a Friday here) , only a few more hours and we shall see.

Ok so I went to preview like 4 songs and they all loaded slow on iTunes. "Connecting..."

Went to Apple.com and it loaded VERY slow.


Something is definitely going on here.:eek::eek::eek:
