Just downloaded iTunes 4.5, busy trying stuff out! One depressing thing though, is that on the new iTunes site http://www.apple.com/itunes/ it says "sold more than 70 million songs"

New ipod software download as well.
- Compatibility with iTunes 4.5 and the iTunes Music Store (please, please have the playshuffle for ipod in there!!!)
- Improved playback performance
- Support for the Apple Lossless Encoder, to enable compressed music encoding at high quality
For now you can download it straight off their site
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
And anyone notice this, "iPod Update 2004-04-28 supports all models of iPod and iPod mini introduced before April 28, 2004."
New iPods? One can hope.

No WMA - Lossless is AAC m4a @ about 975kbps
I can't import WMA into iTunes on my Mac. I'm guessing that they are only allowing this on Windows
Encoding a CD with Apple Lossless Encoding is resulting in about 20x rip speeds on my Dual 1.42 GHz (with lots of other stuff running). The resulting files are AAC icons with m4a extensions. Bit rates show as low as 800 to as high as 1002kbps. I'm only getting a 38% reduction in file size overall. To put in perspective, lossless equals about 5x the size of AAC encodings at 192K. Still pretty cool.

New version of FairPlay (2)
I did a Get Info in iTunes 4.5 of a song that I just bought and the version of FairPlay listed is 2. Checked older songs that I had purchased, the version was 1.
(The reason I had checked was to see if the iTMS was using a higher bitrate or the new Apple Lossless Encoder; no such luck.)

iTunes Music Store still US-only
The iTunes Music Store is still only available in the US - and that won't change April 28.
The iTMS terms of sale document (at http://www.info.apple.com/usen/itunes/tsncsnew/policies.html) and the AppleID signup in itunes itself have both been updated, and both state that the Music Store is US-only.
From the iTMS Terms of Sale document:
U.S. SALES ONLY
Purchases from the iTunes Music Store are available only in the United States and are not available in any other location. You agree not to use or attempt to use the service from outside of the available territory. Apple may use technologies to verify such compliance.
