I haven't had any problems with 8.1.1 and my 2G Shuffle. What isn't working for you?
I wish they'd work on the shop, even if it were just to have basic tabbed browsing and a wish list.
Which would be a great way to slow down the iTunes servers, even more, but I agree – let Apple fix their server park when they setup that new one and let us enjoy the world of tabs (or whatever they will call it).Tabbed browsing in iTunes store would be a godsend. Wishlists would also be a useful addition but I guess you could use the shopping cart option.
Still has gwad awful lag when scrolling through my downloaded apps.![]()
Guess they aren't interested in actually updating the core of iTunes, are updates for iTunes just gonna be for iPhone / iPod Touch in the future?
I think I noticed something new in 8.2. I'm pretty sure that with the previous versions, when I plugged in my iPhone iTunes would always switch to the iPhone status screen. No matter what I was doing (browsing the store, looking through my library, whatever), it always went to the iPhone screen.
The few times I synced after upgrading iTunes stayed at the screen I was on and did not jump me to the iPhone screen. I like this a lot.
iTunes 8 came out in mid-September last year. I wouldn't expect a major new release any more than once a year.
I'm also guessing that they will be releasing a Cocoa version of iTunes (64-bit as well?) at some point after Snow Leopard is out since they are moving all of their other apps to Cocoa and (mostly) 64-bit.
Perhaps that iTunes is on Windows as well could slow down this process but I don't really know.
This Apple Discussions thread has the details of all the symptoms: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9194084
In summary:
1) dragging files to the iPod that already exist on the device
2) order of podcasts when added to the iPod
3) automatic removal of deleted podcasts
4) ability to play songs from the shuffle in iTunes when the shuffle is connected
My own pet peeve: missing the iPod Shuffle item in the "Add to Playlist" context menu.
Also, sync doesn't work reliably. I need to sync a couple of times to get all the songs loaded and ordered correctly.
iTunes 10 is coming out with Snow Leopard, as is Quicktime 10, I believe.

my MB took an abnormally long time to restart after completing the download of iTunes 8.2... My PC was normal, Vista had to restart after completing the installation. As others have said, this new version does something to your library upon initial launch as well.
On the side, I hope the Quicktime update fixes my minor video glitches that I get on older quicktime files I have (where it randomly pixilates the upper 1/3 of the video). Have yet to figure that one out.![]()
