iTunes 4.7.1

Agreed. It seems like iTunes although part of iLife is on it's own little agenda.

i don't see why everyone is complaining.

itunes doesn't need upgrading and if it does it'll be with the arrival of tiger.

Maybe for you it doesn't. Maybe you are one of the people that are content with a 20GB HD too, that doesn't mean though that there's no need to build 80GB HDs... ;)

FYI

Some but not all songs de-DRM'ed with Hymn no longer work. Reverting back to 4.7 brings them back to life.

And before the usual debate begins, let it be known I have purchased 2228 songs at the iTMS for use on my own iTunes and iPod, and have "Hymned" them so they will play on my Elgato EyeHome. They have never been shared with anyone or been made available on any P2P network. I am not complaining or expecting that I deserve some support from Apple for this, nor do I blame them for breaking Hymn with incremental updates. I am aware that using Hymn is risky and will forever be fraught with frustration and the possibility of losing the ability to play my purchased music.

Now, commence with banishing me to hell.

I noticed this too. I appologize for the following, likely obvious, question but how do you revert back to 4.7?

ok i'm sorry.

what i meant was itunes doesn't need uprgrading.

of course there are things that i would like to see added to it, but it is not in desperate need of an upgrade. and certainly not before tiger comes out.

now appleworks was something that needed upgrading --> Pages
and the addition of nested folders in iPhoto .etc.

I know that for some people iTunes is fine as it is, same as iPhoto was fine for people before 05.

I will upgrade with my next software updates. There are bound to be some worthy items for everyone.
 
For some it does NEED upgrading. For example, if I'm not mistaken, there is still no way to listen continuously is there (without the between-song pause...which would be nice if you are listening to full concerts in lossless formats...). Support for FLAC and/or SHN would be very nice too!

Hopefully these issues will be addressed with Tiger.

Yes, you can use the Join CD Tracks feature which is nice, but it's still a bit clunky and could use some refinement. It would be nice to be able to select "no pause between tracks" for playlists or selected portions of playlists.

Another upgrade I'd like to see are more editing options such as track fade-in, fade-out and being able to burn CDs with these selected options - including crossfade. Now that would be cool!

Apple has a great piece of software with iTunes and I'm looking forward to even better versions in the near future.
 
Something New?

Im not sure if this is new but I had never seen it before.

If you click on iTune Essentials in the store you get a page that has four tabs on it - three sections of 25 songs and the 4th is all the songs (for $75).

The last time I clicked on an essentials it was a normal list of 12-15 songs. Also there is a huge choice of essentials now.

Does this show up in onlder versions? Maybe Im just slow and never noticed it, however Im fairly certain the tabs are new...

You copy it off your other computer or a backup.

But if you installed 4.7.1 without another copy of 4.7 tucked away safe and sound, well...maybe you can Google a copy off the web somewhere? I know there are 4.6's floating around because 4.7 broke a few hacks for people.

I tested the new 4.7.1 update with all 4 of my iPod photo(s), and iTunes 4.7.1. removed the track artwork from ALL 4 of them! The only workaround I could find is going to iTunes:preferences, uncheck the "Display artwork on iPod" option, click OK, then go back and re-enable it. I wish I had an iTunes 4.7 CD or installer to revert back!

You're right! Mine too! Damn, this really sucks. I think we need to let Apple know this is not very satisfactory.
 
Anyone else notice this?

I noticed iTunes 4.7.1 has broken Command-H (the "Hide iTunes" menu item). Does anyone else have this problem?

How do these things happen? Did someone unlink the action in Interface Builder without realizing it? :rolleyes:

I don't have this problem. It works fine from the menu choice or with the command key.

This happened to me as well. Quitting and restarting iTunes fixed the problem.

iTunes is the only part of iLife that is also available for Windows. I'd bet money that iTunes development is handled by the music division and iLife is handled by the OS/Software team after the restructuring last year. The bundling of iTunes with iLife is more of a historical/convenience issue than an indication that iTunes updates are in synch with iLife development.
 
I'd be willing to bet money that iTunes 5 will come out in April, with the second anniversary of the Music Store. That's when 4.5 came out last year, and it seems like a good date.
I've also noticed that in "Party Shuffle" the options at the bottom have been tweaked to a light grey that matches iPhoto 5. Nice to see the iApps stay in sync.
 
Help!

Wondering if this happened to anyone else.

I installed the 4.7.1 iTunes update. Seemed OK. Re-sync'd the iPod photo and went to work. On the way to work I went to one of my playlists and no playlists - odd. Well not really, because there were no songs on my iPod photo. The photos were still there, but no songs, although the *about* still showed the available space as if the songs were there, but no songs.

Anybody, I mean anybody have any ideas. Please.

Thanks
 
No problems on my Panther machine, but it won't even show the update on my 10.2.8 machine. Weird? You have to have Panther to run the iPod Shuffle? That's a selling gimmick if I ever saw one!
