iTunes 7.0

[dharmachili]

yeah, its a ton slower than the old version for me too. but at least its a lot cooler and more helpful

[faye]

I've got problem with Itunes 7 the sound is sometimes bad. I make song in pause and then play the song ant the sound is good. very strange . I install I tunes more times and the problem is the same.

I haven't had any problems with it, and it dosen't run slow at all! I LOVE IT!! Love the asthetic updats, and LOVE the new way to view files (with the album up front, and previous and upcoming on either side.) I agree, now I want a new iPod so I can download the games!!!!

[dharmashark]

It's more shady now. Perty.

I dont like that they brought the blue iTunes logo back, the files logo look to much like the quicktime files teh green seperated it pretty well

[Dragavan]

First off, for reasons already given I don't like the blue either.

Secondly, I love some of the new features (like the downloading) and some are just Apple coolness (like the cover flipping).

That said, I don't like some of the changes too. The Additional "organization" on the side list is a lot of wastes space. I don't need to have 4+ lines taken up by headers and redundant crap. I don't like not being able to collapse the music store into one line when not in use (it takes up four for me). I hate wasted or useless space, especially when I like to have lots of organization and playlists (I was one of those asking for playlist folders since the first release, and didn't get them until the last release).

And when I upgraded it lost about 50 of my songs... They were still technically there, but it wouldn't display them any more. They were podcasts (or songs released as podcasts) that I had moved/converted to my library because I wanted them as songs and not as podcasts... the "upgrade" reset a lot of things (I am guessing with DRM stuff too) and all of them no longer showed up as songs in the library, but since I removed them as podcasts from the list they also no longer showed up there. I had to do some fancy light hacking and moving of files to get them to show up again and finally get rid of the hidden podcast tag (changing the genera is not even close to enough). It was a pain, but at least it was only about 50 files and not hundreds, like it could be for some.

But I wanted to have Bejeweled on my iPod (I love that game), so I guess it was worth it... *shrug*

I just wonder how long before Jhymn will work again? They haven't even yet managed to get it working with 6 yet... and the lead guy just gave up and left to others to work on.

[大杂烩]

i dont really use itunes all that much, just to get podcasts, so it works fine for me.

Ah man, I love the new iTunes. Cool new look and I like that they have a built in album art finder now although they got rid of the Videos section and that kinda irked me. Also it's crashing like crazy for me, but I think that's because my Mac is a little out of whack right now.

[dharmachili]

No, that is happening to me too. They will prolly come out with another sequel for the itunes soon and are prolly working on it now. It is hard for a lot of people and a lot are complaining about it. It makes my entire computer slooow.

Wow, I'm not the only one. I was going crazy, earlier I couldn't get it to stay open for even 60 seconds those boys at Apple will have a new version for us soon

[katmarie24]

I haven't had any of those problems, but one thing i did notice is that since it's now downloading artwork from apple... some of my existing artwork has dissapeared! so I guess I'll have to go and manually find the files and link them to the songs again, just 'cause it's not popular enough to be on apple... kind of irksome....

[Dragavan]

That's another thing I noticed... It's really not that great at picking the RIGHT covers for a lot of the music I have. Sometimes it picks the wrong covers from a different album that group put out, but more often it chooses a completely wrong cover all together.

I have the best of James Bond themes 30th anniversary cd, but for some reason it chose to leave half the tracks without art and give the other half a Shirley Bassey album cover (and not just the Shirley Bassey songs... It even left one of her tracks blank).

I have the Coneheads Soundtrack, but it decided it needed to be the Best of Soft Cell for cover art.

And why did it only put the album art on half the Buffy: Once More With Feeling soundtrack?

So, yeah, the switch over does not seem to always go smoothly. But once the art is corrected and in there, the features added that use it are really pretty. That flipping through covers is pretty cool, although somewhat useless.

ROFL, mac technology at its greatest.

good to know im not the only one who iTunes is slowing things down for. they'll have 7.0.1 out soon

[Mexican Coke]

I updated, and now mine updates alot faster. On the last one I had, when I wanted to update, it took 10-15 seconds to start updating. Now, when I push that button its instant and faster too!

[patriotsfan12]

I think its okay so far, it will take time getting used to it, but overall I like it.
