I have not noticed anything except now when iTunes starts up it gives me a warning about my firewall settings.
I know it is still there in miniplayer so it could be to create genius playlists from there.
But you have to open the window to see it anyway.
Or you just wait and listen to what comes up, like a themed shuffle.
I hate itunes 8.0.1
I cant sync my ipod normally.
its sooo annoying
The only way i can is if I force the ipod into diskmode:
Hold down the menu and middle button till you see the apple logo. Then hold down the middle button and the play button. You should get a check mark on the screen.
Connect to computer and try to restore it.

My guess was that Genius weights significantly by genre so Apple wants to encourage people to use it. The correct response is to slowly move each of your songs into the wrong genre until acquiescence
.Since half of Genius is about market research on people's music collections and poking them to relevant stuff on the store, and v.8 removes the GUI option to get rid of those pesky store arrows, I guess someone's a little worried about the potential of new offerings like the Amazon store. It's a little tacky and annoying.

yeah it figures, since in order to use the genius option you need an itunes store account. seems like a pretty desperate move from apple :/
Huh, this is on XP for you? My XP system has no such problem, it hasn't for several updates now. In my case, it just deletes the old version and then it has, for example, "Aurora Feint 1.1.3.ipa" to denote versions. The old versions are instantly sent to the recycle bin.
I was happy they started that too; because yeah the few apps I had in the week between getting an iPhone and this release, I piled on about 4 times any apps as I had; all previous versions.
Did they fix the shi**y scrolling performance on Windows yet?
This was already fixed with 8.0
What's new in iTunes 8.0.1?
When 8 premiered, a few people commented that their jpegs imbedded in their mp3s disappeared. With over a hundred thousand songs in itunes, many with scans of the original singles, I found this worrisome. I did a sample check with a copy of a small representative copy of my library on a macbook and lost around fifty percent of the images. I could figure out no rhyme or reason for what stayed and what went. Anyone have any reports if this update has solved this problem. I find myself stuck in the 7s until then.
thanks

Anyone been able to see whether they've fixed the issue where plugging a Touch into a computer while iTunes is already running resets the clock to a random time in the past? It's been super annoying for me...
The other one was that when the Touch runs out of batteries, or even is simply turned off, all the play-data from that listening session is also wiped out. So if you plug the Touch back into the computer to charge it and sync, there will be nothing to sync because the Touch things it hasn't been played at all since the previous sync. Stupid, really. Something tells me though, that we'll have to wait for 2.2 or at least 2.1.1 for that...

You need an iTunes account just to download album artwork for CDs you imported. Apple wants to 'encourage' you to buy buy buy. Next, they'll start erasing your artwork unless you buy something at least once a month.
haha yes i know! i still haven't made an account haha. i download my artwork with gimmesometune

They also want to tout you as one more "officially" registered user of the iTunes Store (regardless of if you actually buy anything).

Nope. I'm not talking about use when downloading, I'm talking about use when idle. The first time I noticed it was one time when watching a movie on a plane and my battery went belly-up after only about an hour and a quarter or so. When I checked, I saw that iTunes was the big CPU user, even though it wasn't actually doing anything. In that case, as there was no internet connection at 30,000ft, it certainly wasn't doing any downloading. And since then, I can sit and watch it for an hour, while iTunes isn't doing anything, and it will stay right around the range of about 20% to 25%.
For the record, I'm talking about the CPU usage of iTunes only, as shown in Activity Monitor, not the overall usage at any one time.
So, for now, I guess the mystery will continue. Maybe I just need to get a new computer. I can hear it now: "Honey, I need to get a new computer so that iTunes won't use 20% of my processing power." What do you think? Will it fly?
Is this is the same in the Apple TV? I definitely hate seeing two of every show that I have in HD (and then having to figure out which one is the HD one for playback).
... I'm impatient and not able to check right now
I actually prefer it this way. I run my iMac sound through a 3rd party audio interface, so the Mac volume is disabled for me anyway. Being able to control the iTunes volume (at the application level) now gives me remote volume control for the first time

Yep! And you get a shiny new HD logo beside any shows that are in HD.
Not stable for me
So much for a stability/bug release. After getting past the 13014 error, now iTunes Store says my account changed and wants me to "update" my info & billing. Doing so returns an iTunes Store unknown error (-4). Can't buy anything.
If I wasn't within iTunes, I'd think I was getting phished, but I guess just need to wait for yet another fix.
