- EBFoxbat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+77Oh... **that** iTunes...
- mraustin1337, on 10/12/2007, -6/+49People only call Apple "The Cupertino-based company" to prove that they know how to spell "Cupertino."
- Orangutan, on 10/12/2007, -5/+42"The Cupertino-based company describes iTunes as "the world's best way to organize and enjoy your personal digital music and video collection wit"
do you honestly feel the need to describe iTunes to the digg community at this point? and Cupertino-based company is just a little excessive - xstevenx, on 10/12/2007, -1/+28why does apple make me DL the whole freakin program every time they come out with an update? is it really necessary? if anyone could explain it would be helpful
- Muncher, on 10/12/2007, -1/+28Apple Lossless isn't AAC. Just sayin'.
- eliasg, on 10/12/2007, -2/+25bblaster,
You don't have to register to download. You can just click the "Download" link without filling-in the name and e-mail fields. - nxusername, on 10/12/2007, -4/+23That would be cool. Let's write one.
Oh, wait... http://www.songbirdnest.com/ - DanmanD87, on 10/12/2007, -1/+20This update is great. It sorts the TV shows by Episode number again instead of by Episode ID like 7.1
- Menso, on 10/12/2007, -8/+26Still doesn't fix my the problem where my music cracks and pops :(
I'd go back to iTunes 6 but apparently I have to have iTunes 7 to update my iPod :/ - chrislee149, on 10/12/2007, -4/+20Yeah, don't you just hate quick bug fixes? Me too.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
- andrewguy, on 10/12/2007, -3/+15Monkeyfarts: no doesn't break Aqua4iTunes... but yeah.. I can't believe a point point release is on digg front page.. :|
- natenovs, on 10/12/2007, -5/+17poor programming is all i can think of
- tragedyfish, on 10/12/2007, -5/+17I can't wait to download my "favborite" songs.
- MetalUnderShock, on 10/12/2007, -16/+26That actually could be a hardware issue. Try buying a cheap sound card, to see if that'll fix it, it worked for me.
Oh and all the ***** diggers out there, don't mark me down for trying to be helpful. - DamageInc, on 10/12/2007, -14/+22Can it handle huge libraries yet? I have a 150GB Library and my itunes is extremely slow - it hangs up my entire computer for 20+ seconds when editing/changing the library and playing some tracks. Apparently whenever it makes changes to the huge XML Library file, it takes priority over all the computer's resources...ridiculous. (and I know its not my computer that has problems handling it).
- Konstantino, on 10/12/2007, -3/+10Digg me down all you want, but do we really need minor updates to be brought to the front page every time one is released?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9@fiendskull9
Negative.
@MetalUnderShock
iTunes 6 has no problem with the same hardware. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7This is Digg...
- daGUY, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7First there was a front page story about iTunes 7.1...now there's one about iTunes 7.1.1? Why is a x.x.x update newsworthy? All this update does is fixes about 2 minor bugs with 7.1...
Nothing against iTunes or anything, I just don't understand why this story has almost 500 diggs... - bedlam, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5You have to use the included "apple software update" program. Originally I thought this was a major PITA but it works pretty well. It beats reinstalling the entire program each time a minor update is released.

- Blandyman, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7If it's so *****... -gasp-
Don't use it!
And don't dare say you have to use it to update your iPod. There's alternative programs, and if those are too hard for you, ditch the iPod and pick up a Zen or Zune or iRiver or anything, because you're too stupid to realize you have to get over it and stop being a bitch. - mrsteveman1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5They have no update system implemented.
A normal update routine would replace libraries, binaries, and text files to the point that the result equaled what you would get from a fresh install of the new version. Apple apparently doesn't want to do this, but i have no idea why. - joel8x, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Step 1 when buying a used computer - Wipe the hard drive and reinstall the OS. You have no clue what the previous owner did on that computer.
- Verdanic, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4So this update just happened to delete all of my podcasts and removed the music from my library.
Wicked. - TomP, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Is the stutter problem sorted yet?
- redheadguy719, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4i meant to add *sarcasm* to that
- Guard, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4My motherboard's onboard sound cracks and pops some when playing music through iTunes. Mostly through the rear surround speakers. (Realtek HD)
If I use my internal SB Audigy 2 ZS, it sounds perfect and I dont have any problems. If you're using an integrated sound card, i recommend you get a cheap sound blaster or something. Apple could have changed something in 7.0/7.1 in the way they handle music that the integrated sound cards don't like?
Either that, or upgrade your audio drivers. - madeingermany, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I just hope it stops doing that ridiculous scanning of every piece of music I have for gapless-playback information.
It takes forever, when your library is shared over a network. - cowabuse, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4no we don't
- dotMH, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3It's a hardware issue. I had the same problem, but when I updated my system it works like a greased monkey on a pogo-stick playing tambourine with Neil Armstrong impersonator....ish...
Now I'm gonna take my 70th cup of coffee for the day. - notarebel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3@ensermac
It's not my layout, I don't even use foobar (iPod support w/ foo_pod is a mess), I was just addressing chookalana's comment regarding foobar's UI (that you can have whatever UI you want). Criticise the design all you like, but that wasn't the point of my comment, I just picked the first PanelsUI screenshot I found on google.
From what I've been reading on hydrogenaudio, foobar handled compilations a lot better in 0.9. Can't back that up with personal experience though. - wackyland, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Yea, I just tried it out and it looks like iTunes 7.1.1 fixes the issue with the Bonjour service.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3That was staged by a rnadom blogger
- StinkyPudding, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Does this fix Bonjour on Windows? Ever since updating to 7.1, I have to shut down Bonjour in order to stream music to my airport express.
- Senseless, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Oh, and I want some damn release notes to tell me why I should download a particular .dot rev of iTunes so I know WHY I should even bother!...
- rumblpak, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3what i did to fix that is keep the volume in itunes at max, then use windows to control the volume. i know this is annoying (not in vista :) ) but it fixes the problem. hope it works for you.
- diggimator, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Apple TV support came with 7.1, not 7.1.1
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITunes_version_history - Senseless, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I'll be happy once the geniuses at Apple can figure out how to handle podcasting properly .. the support boards are full of problem posts going way back about podcasts not synchronizing, and most of the time I haven't t even been regular syncs to work without forcing them manually under 7.07.1
Sad fact is that the music store of iTunes works wonderfully, but the library, podcasting, songplaylist management (under PCs mind you, we don't have scripting we can use!) sucks and I don't see a whole lot of improvement in the last few versions. I get the impression that as long as iPods are moving and people are buying off the store, Apple doesn't care too much about improving iTunes. Let's hope it doesn't end up like Windows Media Player.. - cowabuse, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2...
- Ryokurin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2At least for me, it said it was 50 megs but it only downloaded 20, so it may have a way of partially updating when needed but its not obvious.
- yfph, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2@quazywabbit
Well, I use to run iTunes 7.0.2 with my 300GB collection and it slowed to a crawl just as DamageInc described earlier, easily taking 1GB of memory handle all of its tasks. The funny thing is that version 6.0.5 handled my large library more ably than its bloated younger sister. And why do people like DamageInc and myself have large libraries? Although I cannot speak for the other user, I can say that my taste in music runs the gamut from classical composers to jazz to modern composers to indie rock (english and japanese). Also, I have quite a few flac copies of my albums I ripped sitting around just in case apple supports some newer, better lossy encoding scheme. Of course I cannot listen to everything at the same time, as that will be foolhardy, but at least I know I have something on hand for whatever mood I am in. - Vision77, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1No unrestricted DAAP support....No thanks. I guess I will stick with iTunes 6 unless someone knows of another app which will manage my music as good as iTunes6 and lets me stream music to xbmc via daap.
- chrisbarr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1A friend of mine just bought her first mac, a new (to her anyway) G4 iBook. The only thing wrong with it is iTunes just display's a blank page, but it will play music when you click an mp3 in the finder to import and play in itunes. This was a known issue on Apple's site, so I hope this fixes it.
- madeingermany, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1No - still does that --- GRRRR!
- toliman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1oddball thing with the new updated itunes..
it loads up OK, but when i try to sync or load up the apple store, it hits some kind of limit. maybe its a vista thing. maybe not.
when i looked, it had something like 10,000 GDI objects. fixing the default number of GDI objects in the registry, makes it work a little better, but not much. still pretty slow compared to itunes 6. at least this version isnt going past 480mb of memory after playing a single track. - combatchuck, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Until they fix the crackling issue, I'll be forced to either use version 6 or WMP. This absolutely cannot continue.
- shortyzgotpop, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4Why does a minor bug fix update like this have to make digg's frontpage?
oh I forgot, it's Apple.. -
