iTunes 4.2 Released

[MacRumors]

Apple has quietly released iTunes 4.2.

iTunes 4.2 allows you to sign in and buy music from the iTunes Music Store using either your AOL or Apple Account, view the iTunes Music Store in a separate window, and includes a number of performance improvements

great

mmm...great !

 

[macMaestro]

Cool.

This better not take away music sharing. I think I'll wait to download it just in case.

Is iTunes 4.2 posted on Software Update?? If I download it from Apple.com as a new application, I'm worried I'll have to deal with re-building my library.

double clicking on the Music Store now opens a new window

 

[Stike]

UPDATE SPREE!

I installed from standalone and my library is still there.

[AmigoMac]

They added "iTunes Hot Tips" to the iTunes application menu, which links to the following site:

Accessing the music store is instantaneous. Much improved and QuickTime also has some snappiness to it. I'm an a B&W 350mhz 512mb ram 10.3.2

Still 4.11 on the UK site. Music Store updates are irrelevant to us anyway

I couldn't see it in Software Update. running 10.3.2 and had iTunes 4.1.

I just downloaded off Apple.

That's strange. How does it know that I don't use AOL or does it?!

Music library is still there, no rebuilding.
We'll see how it syncs with iPod.

Can't you get it from the US site?.....if so stop your crying and go get it

 

[Gymnut]

How is an update released "quietly"? This update released with the normal hoopla and confetti that the usual updates receive?

 

[Dippo]

My iTunes still says that it is up to date at 4.1.1

Is this a Mac only update or something?

I guess I will goto Apple's site and try to download it from there

EDIT: I downloaded the update from itunes.com, and it updated to windows iTunes to 4.2

This seems like an interesting new feature:

 

[AmigoMac]

Cool!

Whatever they do in cupertino, but is getting faster very second, the GUI is snappy and my iApps are smoother... is just me? but iPhoto feels better now...

Music Store improvements in iTunes irrelevent to the UK because they can't buy anything (like most countries).

iPhoto:
I hope Apple significantly improve this. I like it, but its slooow and I want sub albums.

Windows version is 4.2.072. It also updated Quicktime to 6.5. Apple seems to be little ahead of time, quicktime's copyright says: 1992-2004

Window resize is much smoother in iTunes now. Music store does not open in a new window.

 

[Dippo]

Music store only opens in new window when it is double clicked.

Also, they finally fixed the maximize problem. Now it behaves like a windows application and not a Mac app. Good for windows users. Of course I was kinda getting used to it

 

[Dippo]

There are now seperate account selections in the Authorize window.

There is one for a Mac ID and one for an AOL Screen Name

What are we missing?
