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".
.... but my Shuffle still doesn't sync back to iTunes... *sigh*
EDIT: It also auto-sorts my shuffle by ALBUM not the normal SORT ORDER, which is an annoying bug. Have sent feedback to Apple.

Click on@ top-left and Software Updates....
If you check for updates from within iTunes itself, it doesn't (yet?) find the update.

Straight from iTunes Help
The iTunes Store also offers songs without DRM protection, from participating record labels. These DRM-free songs, called "iTunes Plus," have no usage restrictions and feature higher-quality encoding.
The first time you buy an iTunes Plus song, you specify whether to make all future purchases iTunes Plus versions (when available). You can change this setting by accessing your account information on the iTunes Store.
If you already have iTunes Store purchases that are now available as iTunes Plus downloads, you may upgrade your existing purchases. To do so, visit the iTunes Store and follow the onscreen instructions.

I guess this answers the question of what iTunes will do with the original track after an upgrade.
From the Localizable.strings file:
"Your upgraded iTunes Plus music will replace the original purchases in your library. The replaced files will be moved to an Original iTunes Purchases folder inside your Trash."
"Your upgraded iTunes Plus music will replace the original purchases in your library. The replaced files will be moved to a folder named Original iTunes Purchases in your iTunes Music folder."
"Your upgraded iTunes Plus music will replace the original purchases in your library. Would you like to delete the original files or move them to a folder on your Desktop?"
You don't have to go through update. Go straight to apple.com.

I never noticed that before. I guess the rest of it is so sharp I didn't look at the scroll bar.
Damn, now coverflow is ruined for me as I wont be able to focus on anything but that bar!
Whan will Apple make us an all-over-the.world iTunes Music Store. I'm sick of not be let to buy in iTunes Music Store USA. I won't buy in Austria or Germany or Italy where I could be driving to and buying iTunes Gift Card. This stores are nothing like US Store. I will start to hate Apple and all the producers with the music companies when I wishes aren't fullfilled any time soon.

Test it? Heck, I'm reluctant to upgrade to iTunes 5 (Got to get ALL those bugs out😀)
Nah, I like the brushed steel look of iTunes 4, so that's where I'm staying.

Re: Cover Flow Scrolling Graphics
Try resizing Cover Flow's black section. This ironed it out for me on my MB.

ok, that fixes it, until you re-launch iTunes of course...
Nevermind, I tend to not use coverflow that much anyway.

Maybe they will. They've been distracting everyone with iPhone stuff while having a secret production ramp-up. Today is Tu-- er... nevermind.

Yeah, I'm sure just keep it a mystery which songs have DRM restrictions and which don't. After all, it's people's favorite feature of the PlaysForSure stores.🙄
Why update the iPods for DRM-free tracks? Its just like you ripped the tracks from a CD. Its not as if they are updating Fairplay, simply removing it.
