The slowness and loading pauses are post 8.1 for me.
Keep in mind this is on 3 computers that I own running different operating systems. I haven't installed it on my iMac G4, yet.
Really. The nerve of Apple, actually sending out fixes for problems.
It's never fixes, it's always "download another 68 MB of the full program."
Not this time around.
HEY!!! all non iTunes Plus songs have just disappeared from the store - looks like they are doing the final conversions tonight!! They are gearing up for the variable pricing - hopefully tomorrow like the rumour said
These constant restart iTunes, reboot Apple TV have got to stop (although it's still my favorite product out there)
Thats happened a few times for me also since the last update of iTunes. Lets see if this fixes it.
Same - Tiger on my iBook and Leopard on my iMac. I've had no problems with either one other than a lag in the CoverFlow department. I never use it because I'm simply not a fan. I'm even more displeased with CoverFlow becoming a navigation option for everything, but other than that, I have no complaints.
Apple has a habit of releasing several updates simultaneously. There was no new DevBuild of 10.5.7 over the weekend that I've heard of, so that suggests that release is quite close. If not today, then I would expect it by the end of the week. Or maybe it's just me....
any word about this fixing the problem with scrolling through the library that people were having (myself included) with 8.1? (where the beachball comes up randomly when you scroll through your library)
No. I have been using 64-bit iTunes for awhile now. Runs well on Windows 7 x64 as well.
Ya, I see it has been around for over a year. I guess this is the first time they have listed it as an item on their support/downloads page.
Which took me all of about one minute to download wirelessly AND install on my Macbook.
Oh ... I do hope it fixes this weird problem I'm having whenever I try to access the iTunes store. It shows as loading until the loading bar is almost full and pauses for sometimes as long as 30 seconds before it finishes rendering the iTunes home page.
Does this happen to anyone else perchance?

Regardless of how long it takes to download, Kar98 has definitely got a point. Why can bug fixes not simply be patches rather than full installs? A bit foolish to create applications unable to be patched.
"Adds Genius Sidebar for Movies and TV Shows"
*looks at existing iTunes and sees Genius sidebar*
*looks at iTunes version number*
"8.1. Hmm..."
Anyone else confused by that?
Oh, rather, anyone else confused by the fact that it actually TELLS us what it fixed instead of "stability and bug fixes"?
Looks like we have one benefit from Steve leaving...

Not really if you actually read the notice
Hardly an extensive list and in seems to be consistent with what we had under Steve.
