supposedly there was an issue in 9.2 where it would brick old ipod classics
No issue here with my iPod classic, 4 years old, never an issue.

I don't want to call anyone out, but, seriously, have you people no standards? Perfect?
Let's just go through some obvious iTunes flaws:
<snip>
iTunes is an acceptable program, and I am unaware of any program on any platform that does a better job; but that is FAR from claiming it's perfect.
...simply perfect for me...
Well thanks to both of you, each one of those apps are cool but unfortunately GimmeSomeTune doesn't offer Mute and while Coversutra does offer mute in iTunes, it requires iTunes to be the active window and then I need to perform a 2 key command to perform mute. I usually keep my negative opinions about Apple to myself but this one is very annoying of them to remove the mute option from the Dock icon. Sometimes I just don't get their decisions.
Amen, brother.
And the "updating gapless playback" every time I sync my iAnything.
I use Genius playlists daily, but for me they are *not* top notch. They seem to play the same songs repeatedly (I have 4000+ songs), and my biggest gripe is that they can't seem to keep the Christmas and Hannukah (Adam Sandler) songs out of the Soundtracks and Singer/Songwriter mixes. This goes for Children's songs as well that make their way into mixes that they shouldn't be in.
They're only useful for the lazy, like me...![]()
On Octa-core Mac Pro, 16GB RAM and a Quad-core 27" iMac, 16GB RAM. Library sizes of 85GB and 45GB, respectively.
Ughh, iTunes still cannot find artwork for my perfectly tagged Smiths album "The Sound of the Smiths (Deluxe Edition) [Remastered]"
Anyone know any special tricks to getting iTunes to grab the stubborn ones?
Apple has released iTunes version 9.2.1 to close a security-relevant vulnerability: In the Windows versions of iTunes up to version 9.2, attackers can use specially crafted itpc: URLs to provoke a buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code. The hole can be exploited remotely, for instance via specially crafted web pages.
Mac users also benefit from the update: for instance, Apple has resolved a problem with encrypted back-ups that occurred when updating iPod touch and iPhone devices to iOS 4.0. Apple also say that initial synchronisation now works more smoothly with certain devices, and that they have disabled obsolete, and therefore incompatible, third-party plug-ins.
Perhaps you weren't paying attention to this part of the post?
Some people just need a simple media program that does its job, and not everybody pays attention to the underlying runnings of the program.
Perfection lies in different places for different users. Not your call to make here. What might be a disaster to you might be perfect for someone else, but what could be a perfect program in your eyes could be a complicated mess for others.
My $0.02
I think Apple needs to do a complete reboot of iTunes, with a sandboxed suite of programs for each type of media that are specifically designed for the best user experience and can potentially be controlled from a single user interface if needed.
Still can't view epub files visible in my iTunes library without a third party program or iPad - crazy!
How large is a fairly large library? What kind of a Mac monster rig are you running this on?
~1 TB iTunes Library on an external 2 TB drive. iMac 27" i7.
I think it would be a positive change if you could call up your eBooks library & reader without having to go through booting your iTunes music library to get there.
But users should also be able to navigate to their book library from inside their music/movie library (which, to be fair, they can do at the moment. They just can't read the books themselves).
Furthermore, the ability to run your iPad/iPhone apps from inside iTunes should have been added from the start.

use the image search. i used to use Google and Amazon, but bing has the best image search for album covers
To come here and see 100 mere positive votes, and fifty something negative ones on an apple flagship priduct that gets an update, a product that's heads and shoulders better than the competition. What sad sight and a sad state of affairs.![]()
Apt name for your site, I guess all these things should happen because you say so in your infinite wisdom....
Apple should offer an arm compiled environment within iTunes to run apps of ios that were never designed for a non touch interfaces to begin with, brilliant logic.
