iTunes 4.8?

[JonKemerer]

*sigh*

As much as I like iTunes, I have to wonder why there's still no MP3Pro support.

iTunes 4.9?

why does it not show up in software update? is it now only a seperate download? or does it not work for panther?

For those of you not seeing video, go to the iTunes preferences and under advanced, change "in the Main window" to "In A Separate window" or "full screen"

and I personally believe this is leaning more towards an iTunes Video Store iTVS? and further on to a media center. But that's just me

Re MP3Pro: Adding MP3Pro support to iTunes would require Apple to play additional licensing costs, which would need to be negotiated with Thomson, but would almost certainly be costly.
- iTunes playback would cost $90,000 US
- iPod playback an additional $1.25 US per iPod sold.
- iTunes coding, should they choose to include MP3Pro as an encodable format, would add $5 per iTunes install.

Needless to say, if Apple were to negotiate such an expensive deal, they'd want to be able to justify it to their investors. I approve of Apple's support of the more open H.264 and AAC codecs instead, as these give sound that is just as good and don't have any of the licensing issues.

It works all the way back to Jaguar 10.2.8... and, sometimes, it just takes a while for updates to show up in SU.

my iTunes won't play MPEGs. qt movies, fine. i was hoping it would play any QT supported format.. i have LOTS of music videos in MPEG1 (some MPEG2) and was hoping iTunes might replacee BitPlayer for watching them..

HateEternal, check you are actually opening up 4.8, not the old 4.7.1, i did this as it installed to Applications, where i have subfolders, in which was the itunes the dock alias pointed to.

4.8 has extra buttons next to the shuffle/repeat/add buttons. it only seems to play .mov at the moment
