AND THEY USED BLUE BEFORE IN VERSION 2.0 !!!
This is progress?
With Zune, the future is brown.
ha! so you caved and used the smilie, eh?
btw, i tried to download the art for the specific album with the contextual menu, but still no luck lots of albums (well over 100).
And while some of the albums are a bit on the obscure side, some are quite classic (Radiohead, Bob Marley, Doors, Dire Straits, REM, etc.) As I said they ARE both in itunes and CDDB, so i don't know what DB they use for art.
Some of the art is interesting but wrong: check the dark side of the moon
I don't mind the look of the new itunes, but for some reason I can't get the **** thing to stop hanging when i plug in my iPod. It actually worked fine not to long ago but now it wont stop with the spinning beach ball.
Anyone have any ideas??

quicktime 7.1.3 needed absolutely, or just for video playback?
i'm confused now. is quicktime 7.1.3 absolutely required to install and run itunes, or is it just need if you want to play videos in itunes?
i'm stuck at quicktime 7.0.1, because 7.0.2 and above are incompatible with MATLAB R13. does this mean no itunes 7 at all for me, even just for music?

i didnt like it too much either.... the first thing i saw whas the iPod window, and to me it just looked like the screenshot of a peecee program.
though there may be more options, and their layout seems to be easily understood, it looks a little crowded....
dont like too much of the colors used - the variations of grays.
i just think that the look of things look like as if the designers got lazy with their job.
I'm sure, though, that i'll get used to this change, and will eventually grow to like it, but for the time being, i dont like it too much =/
edit: thnx, balamw.
by the way, i dont like the icon either. they went back to how it was in the old days. ugh!

Which is a stroke of genius by Apple.
Lots of people will want to get album art, so they'll register. That means Apple will have all your details and you'll just be a click away from buying some downloads.
Plus they make you think they're doing you a favour by giving you album art for free. When in reality they are getting something valuable in return.
I understand that too but v6 had everything in the Library view! Including podcasts and videos and audiobooks! Dont get me wrong...I love the features with v7 but it will take a while to get used to! For the meantime, I will just create a smart playlist and thank you for that because I didn't think of it right off the top of my head!balamw said:
I'm sure the content providers had a hand in this decision too. They don't want it to be too easy to get high quality album artwork for "free".babyj said:
Apart from (the lack of) gapless playback, I think I read more complaints about that behavior than anythin else in iTunes 6.bigdz68 said:
I worked around that with Smart Playlists too...B
Ya...Its definitely worth the little amount of work for the gapless playback in my world. Now about that blue icon in the dock..HAHAHA! JKbalamw said:I'm sure the content providers had a hand in this decision too. They don't want it to be too easy to get high quality album artwork for "free".

Well, my problem seems to have resovled itself some how. OH well, guess i will see if it comes back.

I just plugged mine in too! It is actually determining gapless playback info on it. I was messing around with songs in iTunes and got the beach ball also but now its still plugging away at the files on the iPod. Halfway done since it was analyzing first and now "determining"

if you are registered and online, just go to 'advanced' and select 'get album artwork'
it will get most of your CD's art, mostly right.
What do I paste into Safari? And how are you tracking what iTunes is doing? Sorry if these are obvious questions, but I'm having trouble with iTunes not finding about 50% of the CD art I need. You think it is because two out of the three (artist, album name and genre) need to be correct (so by wiping out the genre in the ID tags it might find the albums as it is supposed to)?mostman said:
the new itms sux! they took off the links to the bands homepage and replaced them "with alerts" and "tell a friend" so they can sell more songs. are they now against supporting the artist's live work? maybe more money from the people who see live shows? .......... i thought cover flow was already out??
Yeah Coverflow was already out, now Apple have bought it.OdduWon said:
But I consider myself to be a Mac power user (and iTunes power user for that matter) and had never, ever, ever heard of coverflow until yesterday. I think it is very cool and a worthy addition to iTunes - that's one less app I need!
