Guess we'll have to wait for some new iPod software before the iTunes lyrics carry over to the iPod. As well the new folders only exist in iTunes and don't carry over to the iPod either.

How hard is it for Apple to give iTunes anti-aliased corners like every single other window in OSX? As if the old jaggies weren't bad enough, now they've just given up and squared them off! (not consistent with any other style in OSX, including the new plastic-look Mail.app). Even something as custom and cross-platform as RealPlayer manages it.
In general I understand Apple motivation for adding this new style - brushed metal is getting overplayed, and for good reason generally since it allows custom controls and layouts to be integrated in a nicer way than with aqua - but I think it's really badly done. The only nicely done plastic app I've seen so far is Camino (Mail.app and this new iTunes are travesties)...

I still want the following:
alarm-clock ability to wake from sleep and play iTunes for example
sleep function
fully functional undo option for all actions
Sync option to sync Play Counts/Last played dates/etc. to/between the same song in different bit-rates. i.e. have Lossless at home and 192kbps on notebook or iPod
more/higher quality radio stations
when I search for a song highlight the playlists it is in
Ability to lock playlists from accidental deletion or removing songs
Maybe in iLife 06...

Count me in as liking the new appearance. Not more than girls, but I like it.
I'm still not sure how the squared-off window settles with me yet, but if song lyrics are intended to be displayed there, then it makes sense.

QuickTime 7
Since QuickTime 7 for Windows is out now, if I upgrade to iTunes 5, does that install QuickTime 7 as well? Or do I need to download it separately.
If someone can tell me that'd be cool so I can save the installer while I'm here at work on a fast connection.

This is by far the best performance update iTunes has had. It now acts like an app on OS 9. Super snappy, everything just responds. If only the rest of the Apple apps had this much speed. And the iTMS is much easier to navigate too.
Good job Apple.

Hmm $250 seems like a bit much for having someone read Harry Potter to me. Maybe I can con my mom into reading them aloud for $10.

I downloaded the separate iTunes installer, that's why. So it depends on how you install it I guess.
I'm liking the new look - you get more information on the minimized player, for one. So now that iTunes has a new look, does that mean it is now a Cocoa app instead of a Carbon one?
Also, question - with iTunes 4.9, you could add and play MPEG4 video files, that I know for a fact. But could you do it with non-MPEG4 MPEG files if QuickTime had the ability to play them? (For example, if you have the MPEG2 component installed.) I thought it would only do MP4 files, but now 5.0 is letting me add and play ANY MPEG files if I could already play them. No luck on other stuff even if QT will play it - AVIs, for example - but baby steps I guess.
