iTunes 8.1 Now Available for Download

NOTHING. Good grief. What you aren't getting here, is that 99% of iTunes users have never changed the import settings, ever. They wouldn't know the first thing about changing it, or why.

The only thing the masses understand is low quality vs. "high" quality, and even that is barely understood by most.

In short, if you use "high quality" iTunes plus, you are getting nothing better than original iTunes. 128 or 256. You have a choice between crap and crap.
256/Plus is "better", but to say its high quality is inaccurate.

What a confused response.

anyone noticed that "Get CD Covers" is, i would say, 10000x as fast as before?

[niblum10]

is it me, or does tabbing through dialog windows behave differently (cycle through in a different order) since the update?

You could:

(1) Downgrade to 8.0.2 (there's enough info in the last 20 posts to figure this out) or

(2) Download your app upgrades through the iPhone App Store. If any are larger than 10 MB, you'll have to connect to a wireless network with the phone before downloading.

I got an email reply yesterday from Apple saying "we're working on it." Nothing since. I'm back on 8.0.2 and will stay there for now.

Apple sent me a pretty generic email saying there was a problem with the store, but it's fixed now. So I upgraded and it appears to work fine.

I didn't see anyone else mentioning the issue I'm having:

After updating to iTunes 8.1, I can no longer import protected AAC songs into iMovie (iMovie HD 6.0.3). It throws a "not authorized" error, and then tells me I need to authorize it. Of course, I'm already authorized, which is what iTunes tells me if I follow through on trying to authorize with the dialog that pops up, and iTunes plays the songs fine, so obviously I'm authorized.

Did they sneak something annoying into this update, is my system just hosed up somehow, or is there some problem relating to the fact that I'm still running 10.4.11?

No iTunes related beachballs for me so far.

I've had more spinning beach balls than I care to remember. Especially at launch.

I've sent a number of the crash reports to Apple that pop-up after it has failed to launch. The latest being this morning.

This is the first version of iTunes to have given me any grief, so I hope a timely update will fix the problem.
