It should be noted that a dual-core 2Ghz processor is required for iTunes HD show playback.
This means the currently shipping bottom-of-the-line Mac mini model cannot playback HD TV Shows properly.
I suspect this has already been reported here, but it appears that there is a problem with the iTunes Store and the "free" downloads. After downloading and installing iTunes 8.0 I get either an "unavailable" tag after adding a free download to my shopping cart OR the download fails with an error that the iTunes Store is unavailable.
I've seen similar reports elsewhere, so this looks like a real problem.
Hard to believe, but it's beginning to look like Apple is having another troubled product intro.
I think he means in the Browser window - and I don't know how to it turn off either? I have looked everywhere! I don't use 'genre' as this differs from what I would use and don't want to have to change every genre when downloading songs, so I just don't display in the browser. Well now, don't know how to do this?
And Agathon, I like your version of the mobileme avatar better than mine!
It's still there in View Options.
Anyone see multi-library support in iTunes 8? Just wondering if I can finally hold both Apple lossless files and 128kbps conversions within the same iTunes interface at the same time in separate libraries of "quality," so as to fit more on my portable devices (iPod, shuffle, iPhone).
I bet no.
I take it NBC (are they big?)
Work's fine for me.....have you tried a reinstall and or a logging in/out with your account?
You can turn off Genre browsing using this tip:

How is the performance???
I've read lots of pages of comments so far (but not all of course) and I haven't seen anyone comment on how good the performance is on the new itunes! iTunes 7 is super slow and gives me lots of beachballs on my G4 even though all my other more powerful software still runs fast and responsive. So does iTunes 8 run faster and not give as many beachballs? And is it crashing since it's still a .0 version?
Try clicking the playback option button located in the group of buttons at the lower left of iTunes. Try setting the playback loop to play back the song once, then continuous playback, and then none. (grey)

Nevermind
WTF Apple, I am so sick of this company telling me what I can and cannot do on my computer, taking features away is the last straw.
!@#$ Apple
check my post (and another's) on page 14 of this thread.
I am voting negative on this story because there is no way to get rid of the Genius panel without turning it off and on, which means continually logging in and out of iTS. This is ridiculous.
Nevermind. Found the button.![]()
That's right. No.![]()
