That's been there for a while now, it was definitely in 7.2, I think it came out in 7.0.

I find it interesting that they updated the sorting algorithms.. I have my library sorted by artist and it used to be bands like 3 Doors Down were at the top, but now they are last.

Calm down - we all know the term "gay" has come to mean something else. Like lame or not cool. Its easier if you use the new spelling to imply the difference - "GHEY"

I sure hope he's not being a homophobe - because homophobes are GHEY!

Yeah, I just take that very personally. There are still many homophobes where I'm from so when they say "gay", they mean homosexual. But this is a different conversation so I'll drop it in this thread.

Update NOT available in Switzerland yet...anyone else with the same problem?

I really hope you're joking. It's been in iTunes for a while, plus they demoed it at WWDC and MWSF for the iPhone and Leopard in the Finder.

iTunes definitely feels snappier! (Someone had to say it.)

STILL no AAC Plus support

iTunes & iPhone STILL have no AAC Plus support

That means no luck for the AAC Plus streams at:

I'm surprised they've left the evidence of ringtones so unhidden without actually announcing that they'll be available. I'm curious whether it's a dispute with AT&T or with the music labels that's holding up the announcement of this?

 

[200paul]

I know exactly what you mean. Just like my friends all use "200paul" to mean "stupid" or "ignorant." It's not a reference to you -- it's just a word we happen to use.

On topic -- I'm surprised they've left the evidence of ringtones so unhidden without actually announcing that they'll be available. I'm curious whether it's a dispute with AT&T or with the music labels that's holding up the announcement of this?

HAHAHAHHAA - That made me laugh - thanks for making my morning here at work. I get that its a justification and that its rooted in bad things but its just the way words have evolved and I was trying to cut the guy some slack.

Anyway - RINGTONES RINGTONES RINGTONES!!!!

Weird.....i actually quite like the UI in the current version of iTunes

 

[williedigital]

woot

They fixed a longstanding issue of mine. Before Itunes could not properly set cover art for mp4 files containing 5.1 aac audio. Now it can. Not sure if this is a possible hint of 5.1 aac movies coming to the itunes movie store, but it's cool nonetheless.

iTunes 7.3 is definitely snappier than it was before!

 

[marchhare]

And "dumb" means a mute person. So don't use that word either.

Anyways, back on topic: Earlier I posted about iTunes 7.3 problems starting up. Turns out that it was a ShapeShifter Theme conflict. Restoring defaults solved the issue.

Although, in annoying news, I went to the apple store before I checked that out and the Genius bar is tied up all day with the excuse "It is iPhone day." But it doesn't come out for another few hours, what are they needing advice about right now?! Ugh. iPhone folks.

 

[bmb012]

But yeah, full screen cover flow, spiffy, but I doubt I could ever find it useful. Wish I could just click and drag the albums like on the iPhone instead of needing to use that scrollbar...

I think I'll stick with 7.2 for a while and let you fine people be the guinea pigs. Last time I updated (7.1 to 7.2) it completely messed up my iPod/iTunes syncing, and took me weeks to find a solution, and then hours to fix.

You actually what the UI???

anybody else getting the -50 error?

After re-start and accepting the terms, I keep getting the "The iTunes Library file cannot be save. An unknown error occurred (-50). Anyone got a fix or workaround? Running 10.4.1 on a 1GHz PB G4. I tried changing the permissions but still getting the error message.

Do you mean 10.4.10 or 10.4.1

Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later or Mac OS X 10.4.7 or later required for iTunes

 

[dshootist]

typo...

I meant 10.4.10...

 

[..Vector..]

I get the same error as dshootist

I'm on a 24" iMac 10.4.10

 

[dshootist]

not to play mod, but...

They've got a discussion going here...

On both a G4 and Hackintosh 7.3 worked perfectly, no issues.

In addition to iPhone support, AppleTV support is also added.

G4, G5?

7.3 requires 10.4.10 for the iPhone.
What about Panther?
Works with old XP PC's. Not 2-year old Macs?

It'll work with 2-year old Macs who have upgraded to an OS that has been out for 2 years.

I would kind of suspect that kind of person who would buy a $500/$600 iPhone would also probably be likely to have upgraded to Tiger at some point in the past couple of years.
