Wanna throw any more acronyms in there ??
nothing can force and update .... (i dont think... )
This very well could have an update with it that could re-lock the iphone .. but it has to be the users choice to run the update..
I really hope this is what it means by "better management of duplicate video and song entries." I have wanted this feature for a long time (back in iTunes 3 or 4) and have given Apple feedback requesting it.
This is the other thing I'd like to see in iTunes.
I would like this too, although for now I've been using the comments field to accomplish this, only 1/2 way through my library though
I grab the info from Allmusic.com btw.Not to get all crazy...
But maybe this update is necessary to support features of the new itunes movies store, with rentals, HD, whatever else it is that people want so badly.
What I would personally like to see if better video tagging support in itunes. The movies you buy from the itunes store have actors, director, and a million other useful tags, and it's almost impossible to add the same functionality to movies you add yourself. Movie tagging should be as simple and intuitive as music tagging.
Also, some way to keep the library more up to date (I'm hoping duplicates has something to do with this). I'm constantly adding stuff to my folders, but have to re-add an entire folder every time i want itunes to update the library. Forget the idea of sharing that library across more than one machine...

I really don't care about iTunes updates anymore. I sometimes update to resolve the nag windows.
But all it is ever doing is updating functionality to movies, tv shows, iPhone issues, and other things that the cartels have decided I'm not allowed to use.
Other than scrollbars I haven't *seen* an iTunes change in ages. Its just a waste of bandwidth.

I think it's because iTunes is a windows app as well, and they likely have the same graphic resources hiding in iTunes somewhere. Sucks, I know, but I can't think of another reason.
What I would like to see before that is HE-AAC/aacPlus. People with the smaller flash based iPods like the nano and touch will benefit from it (High Quality at 64kbps). Plus the internet radio in iTunes will also sound much better because a lot of the stations use that codec. But since iTunes doesn't support it they play back at regular AAC.

Actually NONE of them were acronyms, merely initials. An acronym must be a newly formed word such as SCSI "read: scuzzy", scuba, or laser.
IMNSHO (and every English language dictionary since the 1940s)
momoe
maybe folders for movies? I know I can put them into play lists, but I want folders on my ipod touch for movies
Unless you can already do this and I'm just stupid?

I would love to see this update expand the capabilities of the full screen cover flow mode. I like this feature of iTunes but it is largely useless. I would love to see it behave similar to the iPhone/iPod coverflow modes. Also, why isn't there a screensaver for OS X that shows the cover art and song information of the currently playing song.
Dude,
Don't be a dinosaur - adapt or die
Actually I was surprised when I first noticed that the collating sequence had changed. I prefer the new sequence - I feel that it cleans thing up a bit in my list to see tracks beginning with letters first, followed by numbers and special characters. It's just an aesthetics thing with me.
The US English ASCII collating sequence that admiraldennis refers to and which Apple used before is pretty much standard. IBM's EBCDIC collating sequence is a bit different in that it sorts special characters first, letters, then numbers, roughly speaking. Apple must have created it's own code page for the sequence it's currently using in iTunes.

... I'm sorry I didn't know the legality of an acronym...
I wish they'd allow separate selection of a place to store movies and TV shows.
Or, barring that, just make it so that aliases work correctly and I can just alias to the proper external drives.
It's rather irritating to have to write AppleScripts to properly manage my TV shows and movies (ie, to rename the Finder files in accordance with their metadata, and so forth).
