Hmm... iTunes is replacing all the music on my iPod mini for some reason. Anyone else have this?
Got a tip for us?

It's not plastic, the only part that has a "plastic" like look to it is the display window. The brushed metal has been abandoned for a cleaner sexier grey with slight grandient. Personally I love it.

Yeah, requires restart. I think it's because of the phone driver. Damn Motorola..

Yeah, think so too.
BTW.. this new look of iTunes 5.... Think it will be a sneak preview of Leopard's new GUI design?
LOVE the nested playlists on remote servers. This is definitely one thing I was looking for. Now we'll have to see if it works on my clamshell iBook, which is definitely below spec.
Mail 2.0 looks better than this! I'm glad to see they tied some of the Tiger/Jaguar-isms into iTunes, but the square display and the gray plastic look like crap.
I also had the podcasts being in my library, keep my Podcasts away from my music!!

I find myself getting crankier as I age...
First question: What did they break, or what DRM wonderfulness did we get this time?
Second question: Features! How about gapless playback?! I've been asking for this for years.

the installer for my XP box encountered a problem during the install, it finished but there was a QT installer issue and now i can't even open iTunes!!! eek. Hope my library doesn't get messed up 
update: tried to reinstall with the set up installer and error message pops up: "1607: Unable to install installshield scripting runtime." Does anyone know how to fix this?

Eugh. It's the Mail 2.0 of music players. I like the fact the window can get more stuff into a the same area, but I'm not coping well with the blue playlist section, squared off sides, and extreme shadows on the buttons..
I think the infamous Mac OS X UI inconsistency debate now has another piece of evidence in favour of the "Apple don't care any more" argument.
That said, the new search mode is excellent, and it seems a bit nippier than iTunes 4 here, so not all's bad.

One cool thing is the progress bar in the display window, I guess there had to be something good in that ugly square.
Gapless playback in iTunes isn't a problem.hulugu said:
iTunes / Preferences / Audio
Enable "Crossfade Playback" and set the slider to 0.
Enjoy.
Very nice - I'm downloading a Harry Potter book as we speak - the price is right compared to her CD's.
Call me crazy, but the "plastic" look reminds me too much of WinXP's default theme...good for XP users, not so fitting for the still-brushed-aluminum of OS X. Of course, 10.4.3 could change that all.

You're a better person than I. Sorry, just can't justify spending that kind of money on an audiobook. Perhaps if they sold them for the same as the paper versions.
All i can say is that the re-design looks AMAZING, hope they change Safari and Finder to the plastic look, its much more modern very easy on the eyes,

Anyone notice that there aren't button on the top left portion of the Preferences window? It's driving me nuts, it just looks... wrong. Plus I'm not used to closing those types of windows by pressing "Okay".
