Flawless!
Apple has given us almost everything we asked for. And more... As a Diet Pepsi addict, I am WAY happy about next year's promotion!!! I hope they put caps on Diet Pepsi Vanilla too
Any word on WMA playback in either version? Someone's gotta try it... with ripped WMAs, not purchased ones.

Time to spend! They have more songs that I like now. iTunes 4.1 looks a little better but not much different. Only downside still only U.S. and nothing for my 1st Gen iPod. I was hoping for an update or something. Can't have everyting I guess.
note: quicktime 6.4, iPod software 2.1 and iTunes 4.1 in your software update
i installed and am running itunes on my Win XP pro, athlon 1500+ machine and its great - identical to itunes for mac. runs slick, souinds great. i am especially happy to see AAC support.
goodbye winamp.

This should lay to rest the people that thought Apple had to get the windows version out so soon. Apple is 1 year ahead of everyone else.
Buymusic.com will be dead soon.
Music Match will die slowly over the next 6 months to a year.
Napster will be the competition. However, like a said in a previous thread, I doubt Napster has 500k songs for burn. I'll bet most of those will be for stream only.
This is going to be a HUGE ad campaign. Apple has definfietly won the battle against other companies.
Way to go Apple employees!

How it works
Running iTunes on WinXP (my gaming box) at the moment, and I'll TELL you how it works...
It works like iTunes!
EXACTLY like iTunes!
Aside from my menu items being part of the iTunes window and the window min/max buttons being on the incorrect side of the window , it is spot on identical. Which is as it should be.

OK I don't have my iPod cable here to test it, so maybe someone else can answer my question.
Being that I'm a Mac user at home, my iPod is Mac formatted. Before, when I plugged it into my PC at work, it told me that the drive needed to be formatted (since Windows can't read drives with the Mac file system). Now that I have iTunes installed, will my PC recognize a drive that's Mac formatted?

is the photo reader just a reader or read/writer? if it's a writer as well, i'd drop my money for it. (useful when i want to go to photoshop to drop off digital pics from the flash cards...) fw connection to computer is a nice touch as my current reader is at usb speed and is quite slow...
since the photo reader and voice thing are made by belkin, i assume apple told them to hold off on the annoucement or apple had some influence otherwise?
on the store online, it says it's a third-party accessory... i'm kind of confused by them being part of an official apple announcement..? maybe it's not so rare, anyways?

Aaaaaaaahtunes
Aaaah Itunes looks so nice and sounds so nice, already running it on my wife's PC notebook next to my Mac. Finally an UNCLUTTERED and ELEGANT player/tuner XP. MUCH nicer than Windows Media Player with its clutter. MUCH better organized than Realplayer etc etc. And the brushed aluminum actually looks brushed, not like Quicktime on XP.
I'm playing KCRW Simulcast.
Now if only Panther would run on the PC...

Well, if you ask me, which, of course, you didn't, but I'll tell you anyway, they're both little more than colored sugar water. That said, let's not get overly prejudicial about who likes which brand. It's a bit different than comparing Apples and MSFTs.
I just downloaded it and bought "Concrete Dunes" by Grandaddy. No problems with either one!
I'm downloading QT 6.4 right now... we'll see how that goes.

iTunes 4.1 specs for Windows say "Latest Windows service packs recommended." Just a standard precaution, or do they know something about a particular service patch?
I'd say probably not. I do know that if yo format your iPod to windows (sorry for the time it may take) you can use it for both mac AND windows without a hitch. I think this is mostly because macs can easily read windows formatted disks.
Ahh. Well, guess it wouldn't be too much trouble for me to format my iPod and transfer all the tunes back with PodWorks. Good to know--thanks!
That's just too weird... but freakin' awesome.
