iTunes 11 to Launch as Soon as Thursday?

[Reaktor5]

...but the most important question of the all is: will iTunes have a new dock icon?

Nope.
Louie Mantia, the designer of the current one, released one to match the iOS version on his site which is really nice:

i wonder if it will run on my iMac 2006 iMac

It most likely will. I used to have an '06 iMac... great machine, but the NVIDIA GPU was faulty and broke along with other iMac NVIDIA GPUs. And then I couldn't replace it because it was buried inside the computer.

Remember Eddy, label it 'BETA' so if it is compromised quality that makes the round of the blogs and rumor sites, you won't have to fire yourself!

In hindsight, Apple should have released it as a public BETA when they announced in September.

sync playlists over icloud please!

This is something I so want as well.

As much as I hate the current version of iTunes (terribly confusing), I'm pretty scared to see what they release next.

What's so confusing about it?

 

[Eidorian]

It will probably require Lion for some reason...

 

[dkouts]

Considering what I want iTunes to be, it shouldn't even be called iTunes.

It should be called iCanSeeATidyListOfEverythingOnMyDeviceLikeAFileBrowser

Tomorrow's news: "iTunes 11 will be pushed to the end of December."

 

[MartiNZ]

REALLY hoping they have a "Metro" version! But yeah, "as soon as" for most confused statement of the day .

Perhaps finally a use for what Safari should have been called? iBrowse.

Apple wouldn't want to cut off their revenue from the digital purchases on the iTunes Store like that. I think it will run only on Intel, 10.5.8 or later.

I think you mean 10.6.8 or later.

It's not like iTunes 10.7 still suddenly stop working on older machines, I highly doubt Snow Leopard will be supported. Lion or later, me thinks.

It's been so long I don't remember what was changing.

 

[mrsir2009]

Yay!

Apple making a metro app?

Lol

im not getting my hopes up, already did that last month

 

[avanpelt]

sync playlists over icloud please!

I thought it already did this? I could've sworn I created a new playlist in iTunes yesterday and without doing any kind of manual sync (as far as I remember), I noticed the playlist was on my iPhone last night.

iTunes 11 to Launch as Soon as Thursday?

I can't help but chuckle at the word choice for the article title.

"As soon as?"

We've had a month of delay.

Yes, I meant Snow Leopard. I guess we'll have to wait and see. Snow Leopard is still such a capable OS and it would be a shame if it couldn't run the latest version of iTunes.

 

[The Bulge]

And if not then on friday and if not then it's delayed again and heads start rolling again.

 

[dXTC]

... I highly doubt Snow Leopard will be supported. Lion or later, me thinks.

...Which would royally suck for a significant number of us SL users. As earlier stated, 10.7 would still "work," but wouldn't get updates, making purchases of new iOS device models a no-go. I could see Apple "sunsetting" iTunes on Leopard easier than on SL.

then just upgrade your damn OS, sheesh

You can sync playlist across devices with iTunes Match. Works great for me.

 

[infodriveway]

Since Apple has been about simplifying (that’s both good and bad), what do you think will be dropped from the new iTunes?

 

[SamGabbay]

Let us not forget that Apple announced the delay for iTunes 11 a day before the month of October ended.

Who's to say that they won't do that again? They have every right to
