This is awesome. I was recently in Hawaii and opened an AOL account with 45days free access, but now that ITMS lets you use your AOL username to access it, I can now download music using my AOL details, eventhough I am in Australia 
.
Thanks Apple and AOL. Now, If the Asia Pacific greed record labels got there shi*t together I wouldnt have to use a loophole to access the ITMS, and would do it legitimately as an Aussie user.
Well, the greedy record companies only have themeselves to blame that people like me have to restort to these measures to access the ITMS.

Re: Feb 1: 100 million free songs by Pepsi
As for 4.2, the multiple window thing is the single feature I've been wanting to see in iTunes. It now does absolutely everything I want it to, and even if it never got updated again I'd still be happy.
The grouping, if it works to combine multitrack songs, will be a welcome feature for some, too.
There's been a graphic on Apple's site since they first announced it that said "Feb 1", so this isn't new at all.

Until Apple and the record companies read this and "fix" the loophole. It might have been better to say nothing!
Always run these after an OS updates or after heavy app updates. In the terminal one command at a time... do daily then weekly etc. At the end of prebinding restart your computer.
cron scripts
sudo periodic daily
sudo periodic weekly
sudo periodic monthly
repair permissions with terminal
sudo diskutil repairPermissions /
Updating the Prebinding
sudo update_prebinding -root / -force
rjwill246 I DELIBERATELY said it because I am soo sick of having to wait for the ITMS. Its crazy that there are other music download compaines starting up in Austrlia, and yet the ITMS isnt one of them.
The record compaines are greedy f**kwits and if I have to resort to these measures to use a system, well, then its not my fault.
I can easily download anything I want for free if I chose to, but I wanna pay and do the right thing. If they cant give Apple the facility to provide me that service when I am perpared to pay for it, then screw em, Ill take my money elsewhere and use the loophole that currently exists.
If I lose my access to the ITMS so be it, but until then, screw em, cause they have screwed me and everyone else worldwide who wants to use the ITMS for way too long !!.

confirmed... it's dec 18 and I don't see iTunes 4.2 in my software update, nor at apple's download area.
However, Apple's Discussion Forum Area for iTunes still lists a title in the forum area: "iTunes 4.2 for macintosh":
http://discussions.info.apple.com/WebX?13@95.YUe7aOArocr.1@.eeac121
Clicking on the link on this page leads to the normal download area for iTunes. I haven't downloaded it to see what version it is yet, but I assume it's not 4.2... although in one forum post ( http://discussions.info.apple.com/WebX?14@150.XUu9aOm1oQX.0@.599df49e ) some users claim that they have received 4.2 via the itunes direct download page, which is not labelled by version number, even though 4.2 is not listed in the downloads area.
Looking in the discussion area, there are some threads regarding problems with 4.2.
For example at http://discussions.info.apple.com/WebX?14@150.XUu9aOm1oQX.0@.599df8db

Yeah and if you don't like using command line interface, you can just download Maintain from Macupdate.com and you can automate all of these terminal scripts to run for you on a periodic basis. I love Maintain, their GUI is finally coming around, and it's free.
You would think that Apple would wait a couple extra weeks for 10.3.2, iTunes 4.2 and the QT updatel, and just release them @ MWSF. Which leads me to believe that perhaps some iApp updates, or who knows what, are going to be announced @ MWSF, which require these updates beforehand, or at least the QT and 10.3.2 updates. Or, maybe Jobs has so many new tricks up his sleeve, he needed to release some updates prior to MWSF to give him enough time to announce everything else on the 6th!
I must say that the Mac OS X 10.3.2 and iTunes 4.2 updates have quite seriously screwed up my machine.
For example, I always stream a large portion of my music library from my iMac onto my PowerMac, and vice-versa, depending on which machine I'm on. I can no longer stream music for more than thirty seconds without interruption (of several seconds), where as this occurence would normally come along only once a half hour. I stream my music wirelessly, but nothing changed in my home; it's entirely a software issue. Just as I type this, it has taken two minutes to load a song over the network, something that ordinarily took no time, and was seemless with the cross dissolve. I have noticed similar slow-downs when loading music files from my own hard drive, but not during the play of my music. Overall, iTunes feels much slower than it previously performed, and I'm quite disappointed.
Combined with the 10.3.2 and QuickTime updates, I'm rather inflamed. My sparkling new G5 system is handling both start-up times and general interface elements like my iMac DV, where 10.3.1 worked without flaw. I don't know which piece of software would have done it, but my computer feels very cheap right now.
Even working in Microsoft Word is becomming disappointingly slow.
And no, don't offer the repair permissions or the reinstall procedure, as I shouldn't have to wait more than an hour to fix a problem that took only a few minutes to procure.

Yahooooo - More Downloads Than You Can Poke A Stick At
Hmmm lets recap..
10.3.2.... OK
Java Update
Quicktime to 6.5 (version numbers whipping by)
ITunes 4.2 (needs QT 6.5 by the looks of things)
So that's three core OS updates and one application...
Looks like the rumours about an overall ILife update are on the money - but my cash is on new business type applicaitons being announced at MWSF... what else is there??

Yes, but he opened the account in Hawaii so the music store is just going off his Hawaiian address listed. If he dicided to stay with AOL he will eventually have to correct the info with the new Austrailian address and it may stop working then.
Can anyone tell me if CD playing has improved on the Windows version?
I don't want to wait for the dial-up download if there isn't that much new about it.

If you don't want to take the hour or so to repair permissions or do other potential "lengthy" possible repair procedures, then I don't think you should come complaining to us about your problems. While some of the updates may actually have crippled your machine, I don't think it's unreasonable to try and go through troubleshooting steps to get it fixed. Additionally, you should also (for future reference) note that you can always hold off on an update and browse MacFixIt.com or these forums instead, just to make sure the update doesn't do anything bad.
Re: Re: copyright 2004
P.S. I probably should have gone to law school. Then by now I could afford a G5
No, it means you can opt in for an extra year of copyright protection. Publish from Jan 1 to June 30 of 2003 (or any year), and it *must* be copyright 2003. Publish from July 1 to Dec. 31 2003, and you have the option of choosing copyright 2003 or 2004. Usually things like magazines, newspapers, Web sites, etc. will go with 2003, because it looks strange for the October 2003 issue of Macworld to be copyright 2004. But usually books opt for copyright 2004 in that instance, because it gives them an extra year of copyright protection. In fact, it doesn't actually matter what year you choose, because for individuals the copyright term is life of the author plus 70 years. The year of copyright makes no difference. For corporations, it *can* matter, because the corporate copyright is 95 years from publication.Originally posted by SeaFox
Does that mean until July 1st the copyright isn't in effect yet?
