- roberto_deneero, on 11/04/2007, -0/+116Reliable sources say that iTunes 8.0 will continue to support song playback and even continue to burn CDs.
- cojerk, on 11/06/2007, -5/+87What a lousy title. I mistook "drop" as in "discontinue".
- seanhive, on 11/02/2007, -2/+60Just means more of iTunes' automatic updates hassling me "HAY DOOD WANA UPDATE NAO LOL?" when I've got only 90 seconds to sync my iPod and get out the door!
- g00dbye, on 11/02/2007, -4/+53Who's thinking more iPhone cockblocks?
- inactive, on 11/03/2007, -3/+48There is nothing sadder than someone trying to sound like an insider by replacing "release" with "drop." It is not a ***** hip hop CD.
- ivanxivann, on 11/02/2007, -2/+32I don't understand what's up with all these iTunes updates.
Doesn't iTunes tell you that there's a new update available?
I mean, do you really need schedule yourself to make sure you download the new update? - cyssero, on 04/18/2009, -5/+29CoverFlow 2.0? Now twice as useless?
- weirdlookinguy, on 11/04/2007, -10/+34I think it'll be clunky and slow! Wait, I heard that version is already out...
- Saiing, on 11/02/2007, -7/+30It's a small update that isn't expected to introduce any new features. Great... so it makes the front page of Digg. Seriously, some people will just click anything that has any connection with Apple.
Tune in next week, when we'll have a story about an Apple employee ordering a new packet of pencils for the office.
(and I'm a Mac Pro owner before the fanboys start whining) - streak, on 11/06/2007, -4/+23I imagine an update will be necessary to support the iPhone rollout in the UK on the 9th.
- toetagger, on 11/03/2007, -5/+21Who wants to predict what will be in the big 8.0 update?
- convergent, on 11/02/2007, -2/+17You must feel so cool.
- geekee, on 11/02/2007, -9/+24iTunes is the most annoying piece of crap when you want to keep your music collection on multiple computers.
- Ocelot13, on 11/02/2007, -1/+15http://www.videolan.org/
- sambapati87, on 11/02/2007, -2/+15That's so cool that you use Linux. Please, tell me more.
- ArthurArchnix, on 11/02/2007, -1/+14Any word if that cutting edge technology called "folder monitoring" has made it into this release?
Is it even possible to code for managing folders and dupes without the ability to monitor folders? Are they planning on selling a pro version that includes the functionality of winamp 2.1 at some point in the future?
/Hates itunes. Amarok FTW. - miniboss, on 11/02/2007, -0/+10Only one thing I've ever asked for in iTunes. "Watched Folders". Just tell iTunes what folder(s) to watch and iTunes will figure out if a new song is added or removed.
Every other app does it so why not iTunes? Plus with libraries getting so huge then it also allows us to span across multiple volumes. - InitialDMP5, on 11/02/2007, -1/+11If you are going to do that, you should just have one computer act as a music server and then then use iTunes to stream the music to the other computers in your home network. It actually works quite well. Why waste storage space on other computers???
- cvrefugee, on 11/03/2007, -5/+15Itz off da chain yo!
- inactive, on 11/02/2007, -5/+14They need to update Quicktime for Vista... I can only play a video for so long in iTunes or QT Player before it "stops working."
- streak, on 11/02/2007, -0/+9Think about it. Phone number conventions differ, service providers differ, service plans differ, activation procedures and laws/licenses/disclaimers no doubt differ, credit card information might differ, activation servers might differ. I wouldn't be surprised if there's a bunch of other stuff "we" don't know about that changes when going international.
- JimJimBinks, on 11/02/2007, -8/+17I'm really hoping for better 64 bit vista Support. The lack of iPhone support is the only thing keeping me from the 64 bit version of Vista.
- abid786, on 11/02/2007, -2/+11TV show downloads in Canada, finally?
- leonhyral, on 11/04/2007, -3/+11You shouldn't require a "good" computer to simply play an mp3 file. iTunes is bloated and horrible, not only aesthetically but functionally too.
- calgone, on 11/02/2007, -1/+9T-mobile's website shows 7.5 as the requirement for the iPhone. http://www.t-mobile.de/iphone/technische_details.j ...
- plasticated, on 11/02/2007, -2/+10I hope it does have a better duplicates feature. I am drowning in dupes!
- slib, on 11/02/2007, -3/+11This just in! Major software dealer releases UPDATE to one of its largest programs! This is sure newsworthy, especially once you consider the fact that iTunes/whatever else Apple slid in the back door will inform you of any updates available AUTOMATICALLY. Dig it up, guys. It's really important.
- sweetreid, on 11/02/2007, -7/+15Thank god they're dropping iTunes, it was always *****.
- Calculon, on 11/02/2007, -0/+8I heard it crazy phat stupid too.. oh, and rollin' on dubs.
- jydesign, on 11/02/2007, -0/+8OK, so make coverflow act like it does on the iPods - allow for 'flipping' and album over to see the songs...
- brundlefly76, on 11/04/2007, -2/+9I am really getting tired of updating iTunes every time I use it - Apple really needs to make the update process happen in the background and/or not require a reboot - its so annoying.
- cyssero, on 04/18/2009, -0/+7Fanbois need to get their popcorn and candy bars ready. Nah, I'm just kidding. Even Apple fanbois think iTunes bloated.
- Iwantawii, on 11/04/2007, -0/+6Except with this version you'll only be able to burn exactly 5 CDs.
- JR007, on 11/02/2007, -0/+6Dumb question, but can you install iTunes without Quicktime? I already have Quicktime installed and it works perfect, so I rather not update it.
- diggn_it, on 11/02/2007, -1/+6not a dumb question, and I think the answer is no. I've heard other people complain that they can't install iTunes without quicktime, which makes sense because iTunes uses quicktime to play the videos and does not want to risk someone getting an error because they don't have it.
- stalefries, on 11/06/2007, -3/+8Why? There won't be any new features (as far as we know).
- ArthurArchnix, on 11/02/2007, -3/+8Ok, first, the fact that it "seamless integrates with the iPod" isn't a feature, it's the entire purpose of its existence. So let's not lose our load if it manages to do the one thing for which it was originally created. What's amazing is that other players seamlessly integrate with the ipod, even though Apple is a closed source bastard and locks down their hardware with encryption and the like. Second, it's a media player. If you're grandma couldn't use it that would bring to 1, the number of media players grandmas' couldn't use. So let's not pretend that it has some super amazing cow power of ease of use that is totally lacking elsewhere. The only thing that you said that makes sense is that it can use the Music Store. That is a feature. It makes me wonder why I can't point my browser at the music store, or why apple hasn't released an API for other media players to integrate with it. I think Jobs must hate money.
"Oh, you want to shop at Walmart? Sure, just put these shoes on. Sorry, you must use our shoes. They're free! They're designed to intergrate with the store." - M600i, on 11/03/2007, -0/+5Interesting... I hope they really improve the Windows version... It's just so slow to use :/ Anyways, the mac version is great :)
- Okari, on 11/02/2007, -0/+5I can barely get videos to play at all in iTunes. My Firefox is still crashing whenever I open a quicktime file inside it. What a pain in the ass.
- ExSlashdotter, on 11/02/2007, -2/+6How about the people who own the 110 MILLION iPods that have been sold around the globe so far?
- ahawks, on 11/02/2007, -0/+4I am so tired of all these itunes updates. 99% of iTunes users are not on the bleeding edge of hardware and these changes are irrelevant to us. Seems like every 2 weeks, iTunes is asking me if I want to go download the latest version.
- airencracken, on 11/02/2007, -2/+6I'm waiting for myfairtunes to update before I upgrade itunes again. I want to strip the ***** drm off the few tracks I bought.
- insidesource, on 11/03/2007, -0/+4All I want is to be able to create better Smartplaylists. Keep the basic smartplaylist editor but give me a "Advanced" button. Just some simple syntax like VB/SQL giving me some conditional statements like AND/OR/IF and Brackets.
- inactive, on 11/02/2007, -0/+4Where is it being dropped from? I'll go catch it.
- kingkilr, on 11/02/2007, -0/+4Open up quicktime, go to Edit->Preferences->Quicktime Preferences->Advanced and select safe mode in place of DirectX.
- Terc, on 11/02/2007, -0/+4Ah, nice photoshop...
- Izacus, on 11/02/2007, -0/+4Right after almost crying, because amaroK's interface was designed by someone on drugs. It has to be most cluttered, nonfunctional and confusing interface ever to show in a media player.
- Xonay, on 11/03/2007, -0/+3Add albumart, and coverflow is great.
- skyshock1, on 11/02/2007, -1/+4I know... ***** getting my hopes up like that...
- jjbtexas, on 11/02/2007, -0/+3yeah i really don't want my iphone bricked
