iTunes 2.0.3!!

[simX]

... I noticed that too. I thought that might have been there from previous iterations though -- I guess not. iTunes 2.0.3 is a welcome upgrade.

SimX, I liked your idea. Thought it might work.... nope. Damn! I thought I was so close. Thanks for trying, though. Try loading and quitting iTunes a couple of times and see if it generates any more Temp Files. Mine did. It did create a new Library (2) but ALSO those damn Temp Files. Oh well, back to the drawing board . . .

Seems to have worked for me.... no new temp files yet.

Just out of curiousity, have you ever changed any of the owner/user 'permissions' associated with your iTunes folder so that others can access your tunes (such as your mother, for example) (either the folder in Documents or your Preferences)? I am trying to figure out why some people seem to have this problem and others don't. Apparently quite a few people appear to be having the same problem. I don't know if it is a 2.0.3 problem or not -- I never noticed until the other day so can't rule anything out. I know that iTunes creates Temp files all the time but why they are visible or do not delete themselves when I quit iTunes is a mystery.

Still no new temp files yet! I hope I've banished them.

These are the permissions for my iTunes folder:

drwxr-xr-x 8 simmy staff 264 Dec 18 03:11 iTunes

... and the permissions for the files/folder inside there:

drwxr-xr-x 2 simmy staff 264 Nov 17 22:35 iTunes Music
-rw-r--r-- 1 simmy staff 274010 Dec 16 00:28 iTunes Music Library
-rw-r--r-- 1 simmy staff 274010 Dec 18 03:56 iTunes Music Library (2)

Nothing inside of the iTunes Music folder, because I keep all my music stored in the Music folder of my home directory.

Thanks. Hmmm... I'm now looking into the idea of whether or not it may have something to do with permissions (of one of the iTunes folders). On the subject of write-read-execute permissions, SimX, will you start a new thread explaining the differences between "staff", "admin", "wheel", etc. as well as when you permit or don't permit "execution" -- I noticed that you separate execute from read (I always thought that they were used in conjunction and that you still needed to have execute 'on' if it it is read only).

The reason for the reboot is it updated the iPod driver kernel extension (/System/Library/Extensions/iPodDriver.kext).

lsbom /Library/Receipts/iTunes2.pkg/Contents/Resources/iTunes2.bom if you want to see every file it installed; everything but the iPod driver went into /Applications/iTunes.app.

One thing it definitely fixed is the screen saver/monitor energy saver problem; these now kick in if iTunes is playing.

OK, this doesn't really have anything to do with iTunes, but why can't the system re-load extensions without rebooting. I would think that by now, if a new extension was installed, the system should be able to reload it right away.

That would be sweet.

I was just playing some music in iTunes 2.0.3 and noticed that there was no pause between songs - in fact there was a really nice overlap as one song crossfaded to the next. I checked the preferences and sure enough an option I've never seen named "Crossfade Playback" was enabled.

It's really subtle but it noticeably enhances the experience.... especially with good ambient music.....

Just noticed an interesting bug. When changing songs iTunes appears to be drawing a big black horizontal line across an area below and to the left of the middle of the screen - into the "global drawing port," on top of everything underneath. It might be related to one of my visual plugins, but they're turned off. Weird...
