iTunes 8 Mockup with Grid View, Genius Playlist

[jackfrost123]

then the "speculation" and arguing over who is right and who is wrong with their guesses (and media whoring <g>) will be over and we can focus on whether we like the new stuff or should we buy the current ones before they run out.

i'm just glad i get to sleep a few hours in between so i don't have to read anymore petty in-fighting... (oh yes, I could stop reading these threads but i was hoping someone might have some ideas/knowledge/insight before the event).

I am 100% behind you on this one, and I am willing to take my, um, say 25% share of petty in fighting. And you also said it best when you said "media whoring "...which is part of the point I have been trying to make.

Does anyone even care about digg.com? Personally I have never visited that site once in my entire life.

I 've not once visited digg in my life. I am sure I 'll hear about it when yet another bubble goes plop!

with grid view i guess microsoft can finally claim that apple swiped something from them.

So basiacally they are taking "Just for You" out of beta, and moving the grid view from Movies to Music.

I'm amazed no one has mentioned we have had grid view in iTunes for ages already..

I am not angry I just don't like the way he's suddenly become no. 1 source for macrumors, and I don't like the fact that his predictions are mediocre at best. As for my horrid post...well...go over to digg and suck up to your uber geek idol. Ask him for a handout and about his ladder fetish too.

He was never number 1 for the source of macrumors, YOU need to stop making generalizations. It just happens this time that he has some info about the upcoming event. Also, what does digg has to do with anything?.

He is on the frontpage of macrumors, you are not. Get over it.

If 'grid view' is like the view in the Movies tab they can keep it.

If it's going to replace Cover Flow then fine, but browsing by album is not the most important way to interact with a music library.

they wouldn't replace cover flow but if they did then i wouldn't download the new version.

 

[pooryou]

Well if grid view is just another way to view albums it seems like a linear version of Cover Flow. I don't see the point.

I'm just hoping it doesn't look exactly the same as 7 with new features. I have this dark UI stuck in my head. Sort of winamp like (but not exactly like winamp!)

i've never liked these new views ever since cover flow. i think those new pretty views are cool only if you're trying to show off your mac to someone. other than that, it's not really "faster".

it's very possible that they'll stick with the same look - iTunes didn't lose the brushed metal till version 6! if they do drastically change the UI then you can bet the theme will be integrated into Snow Leopard.

Mac rumours mentioned by Sky news (uk).

Agreed. Between on line purchases and "ripping and filing" new CDs, I have no clue what my albums look like any more. Seeing the covers as I play something is interesting - but with coverflow I wouldn't know what most of my music is. It's reminiscent of my LP days, but kids these days have never had that experience, so I've always been puzzled by the attraction to coverflow...

I'm just worried they'll add a bunch of new features without adding functionality to what they have now. Podcast management is a disaster - made worse by the company that turned podcast into an actual word. Now that I've got hundreds of podcasts, trying to manage them become sa burden, yet with every new cool feature itunes adds, the podcast window/settings never gets touched. sigh. (And I notice last night itunes isn't even copying the right podcasts to my ipod. double sigh)

Well, there are few other things I wish Apple would steal from them....

 

[tungmeister]

i'd love to see coverflow implemented as seen on the iphone/itouch, especially when you have coverflow in full screen, its totally useless if you want a specific song from an album

 

[zedsdead]

I imagine this grid view will be like how albums are presented in iPhoto. When scrolling over the cover, rather can displacing pictures, iTunes will display the tracks of the album, sort of like how Stacks look in grid mode.

 

[MacBass]

Why hasn't Apple disposed of this guy yet?

Where are the ninjas?

Oh, sorry, sorry, I was busy getting my 3G activated, I'll go fetch my katana...
