iTunes 7

[g/re/p]

I have iTunes 7 on my powerbook, but i have not been impressed enough with any itunes upgrades since 4.0.

Still running 4.0 on my powermac, which is my main computer.

I just realized that they've over-emphasized the store in the sidebar. It now takes at least 4x more screen real estate than it did in iTunes 6. Before, it had one item, which could be expanded to show more. Now it shows three items, plus a header, which are always visible, plus gaps on the top and bottom to separate it from the other sections. So apparently Apple feels their store should be more prominent than my playlists. Hrm...

Well, there is one way to reclaim the space: I can disable the store entirely, which is exactly what I've now done. I don't like that, because I do normally visit the store every couple weeks, but...I'm not going to have a feature I only use every couple weeks be that prominent.

I think Apple just lost me as an iTunes Store visitor. I'll still peek in now and then, but I'm not going to go in casually anymore.

I cannot believe how they butchered iTunes 6, 7's interface and Dock icon look horrible.

Overall after a day of thorough testing, I'm *very* happy with this iTunes update. I did have to send in one bug report: the browse view doesn't refresh if a search is cleared with the "snapback: view currently playing song in library" button.

There are two things in there that they've added that I am very happy about, and neither of them are widely touted features. The first is that I can *finally* set the "Skip while shuffling" option on multiple tracks in one hit. For those of us whose iTunes contains a hundred or so speeches, radio plays and interviews as well as music, then this is a much-needed addition. The second is "Skip count" and "Last skipped" fields. These don't seem to work flawlessly, but they do help a lot.

Is there a trick to getting the album covers to download? i have turned it on in my preferences but none of my album artwork is being updated. Now some of the music there wasn't purchased from itunes or ripped from the original CD but even those ones arent showing up?

Am i missing something?

Did anybody try to transfer music between two or more computers using iPod? For some reason I was only able to transfer music purchased from iTunes store and not my other mp3 files.

Dude, amen! They changed command + 2 to be a view function and now you have to go to a menu item to change the eq. STUPID CHANGE APPLE!

Otherwise, the album searching is pretty cool, if only I could load all my album pics instead of just the ones I bought on the iTunes store. Argh.
