- kevinmotel, on 10/10/2007, -5/+29Finally, closed captions. I tried to play an episode of Desperate Housewives for my aunt in the hospital, but her hearing is not what it used to be, and needless to say, playing it at full volumn just resulted in nurses coming in to shush us.
- zweben, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14Headphones?
- MellerTime, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1The nurses really just wanted to watch with them... Headphones would have defeated the purpose.
- krizam, on 10/10/2007, -3/+13http://duggmirror.com
- guise, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6Im pretty sure the new iTunes somehow removed the customised stop times for tracks which ive set up. Kinda disappointing.
- mvanhorn, on 10/10/2007, -4/+1and the site is already down..
- HerrEisenheim, on 10/10/2007, -10/+4How about they fix it so iTunes doesn't add @gmail.com to EVERY login using pop.gmail.com, so that people with Google hosted email can actually sync? Three months and still no way to sync.
- evildorko, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2hmm....that must be a windows itunes thing. doesn't happen to my hosted google account when i sync using my mac.
- jonneh, on 10/10/2007, -5/+13I'm still waiting for a way to make a smart playlist that automatically lists my top 10 or top 20 tracks of the week.
- Darkspyder86, on 10/10/2007, -1/+20Wouldn't this work http://i15.tinypic.com/63mtceo.png
- gmprunner, on 10/10/2007, -4/+3Like anyone would want to go through all that trouble. What's next, having to eject your iPod before you disconnect it?
- stusb, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4not exactly. using that spl means that even if a song is only played once in the past week (or however long), it could end up in your top 10 simply because it was popular a year ago.
what we want is a playlist with the most played songs this week or this month only. so an spl that only measures play counts for the designated period. - pixelperfect, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Darkspyder86, what theme/skin are you using? that screen shot looks super slick.
- ross., on 10/10/2007, -2/+8Yeah you can make your own smart playlists, dont you know?
- stusb, on 10/10/2007, -3/+4finally, someone else has the same problem!
- Darkspyder86, on 10/10/2007, -1/+20Wouldn't this work http://i15.tinypic.com/63mtceo.png
- weareglass, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Ahhh finally! They now made it so that you can apply rules to Playlist *FOLDERS* in smart playlists. So you can set up a smart playlist that includes all items included within a certain playlist folder, instead of having to set each playlist individually.
Sorry if this is a small nerdy thing to some of you, but it's awesome to me.- zweben, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4For those who aren't quite sure what he's talking about (took me a min), you can now make a smart playlist that has a rule "Playlist is:" and select a folder full of playlists instead of an individual playlist.
- Thorsten, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0I am sure you could do this beofre selecting Folders, I did that all the time.
Whats aeseome it that we now have threads, I just love it could kiss who ever finally implemented this.
THANKS YOU !!!!

- Typhoon2009, on 10/10/2007, -10/+2more like www.iCrumbleUnderHeavyLoad.com
- schavira, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Wow you took iLounge down digg? That's pretty strong.
- replikhant, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3damn it. Even the mirror won´t open. Come on dudes, gimme a chance!!
- zweben, on 10/10/2007, -2/+4We took down Penny Arcade earlier.
Soon we will take over the world.- michaelschade, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Pinky and the brain...
- h4ppymac, on 10/10/2007, -6/+1i the new feature that safari cant open the page?
/stupid joke - macewan, on 10/10/2007, -10/+2@jailbushnow, you really don't need to be us over the head - nobody buys their official story anyway. If there is justice in America we'll see those two criminals impeached one day soon.
- Azimuth1, on 10/10/2007, -8/+3There are ways around it, but why don't they add support for skinning? iTunes is freaking ugly.
Also I'd really appreciate a "play next" option that appears when you right click a song. All Apple ever adds is minor fixes and support for new devices, they never actually significantly improve the application.- aliguana, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4I can live with how iTunes looks, it's iTunes afterall. But I wish they would make the iTunes taskbar (those controls that show up in Windows taskar when iTunes is minimised) follow the look of the Vista taskbar. Not saying they should make it look like Windows Media Player taskbar, but it would be nice if it was black at least.
- HUKI365, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Or just make it so it won't make the taskbar lose its transperancy.

- Frozo, on 10/10/2007, -2/+2Bono looks like a fat housewife in that picture lol Is that a moomoo? lol
- xShad0w, on 10/10/2007, -6/+5Who the ***** still uses windows 2000??????!!!!!
- Piedramente, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Corporate environments?
I have seen many still using it. - acceleriter, on 10/10/2007, -5/+4People who realize that for most purposes, XP is nothing but Windows 2000 plus some eye candy, intrusive DRM (e.g. WPA) and spyware.
- ninjakoala, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2Why upgrade to XP? It does nothing better - except look like DUPLO toys by default.
- aliguana, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2why upgrade to Windows 2000? Its just bloatware, nothing I can't do on my Vic20.
- Piedramente, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Corporate environments?
- patch6, on 10/10/2007, -6/+1Don't forget the "randomly screw up your first/second generation ipod" feature.
www.1418hell.com can help most of those affected, and the freeware MediaMonkey is a good iTunes replacement. - miniboss, on 10/10/2007, -0/+17.4 breaks network streaming of video in Frontrow.
My mini is connected to the HDTV as a media box and I use frontrow to stream things like podcasts or TV shows off the Macbook. But now when you try to view video it kicks to the desktop and only plays audio. I guess it's a little used feature but it sure affects me. - ogre2112, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Kudos to the author for using Rush album covers as examples. I loves me some rush! /grammar
- 53x11, on 10/10/2007, -4/+11I don't see the feature listed where it rapes your PC's performance with it's memory hogging *****.
- Seaton, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Would that be a ***** nano or classic?
- fr34k5h0w, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Actually it's the ***** Touch
- Millsee, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1That's because it's designed for a mac, and not your virus ridden doorstop ;-)
- aliguana, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1would that be the same Mac that is made from identical parts to my virus-ridden doorstop?
But you're right really, iTunes was designed to be an integral part of OSX, like Quicktime. The Windows implementations are buggy and use huge resources.- Millsee, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Yeah... I was just being a fanboy... it gets the better of me sometimes.
- aliguana, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1would that be the same Mac that is made from identical parts to my virus-ridden doorstop?
- Seaton, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Would that be a ***** nano or classic?
- Herolint, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Dugg for the Rush album covers in the story.
- Seaton, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1They forgot to mention the wonderful warning screen about NOT being able to burn CDs every single time I load iTunes. Yeah I know x64 is not officially supported but it used to work fine.
- aliguana, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I love the way you can watch video INSIDE iTunes now, instead of a pop-up window or that tiny artwork window. Waaaay overdue. (I also like the fact you can specify to open music videos in the iTunes window, and movies in a popup window. Kudos to Apple for that)
- Thorsten, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1AWESOME. I love how you can now slected your playlists, be it in the iPod Synchronization or selecting PLaylists in Smart Folers AWESOME!!!
Thank YOU Apple finally!!! - W0lfcake, on 10/10/2007, -8/+2iTunes is gay, the only reason you use it because you think it's the only program to upload to an iPod, and that's *****. There's lots of alternatives to the crappy(some of the aspects at least), expensive, but good looking mp3.
- HUKI365, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3People use it for three reasons:
1. Officially supported
2. ITunes Music Store
3. Ease of use with iPods
None of which your crappy shareware/OS programs provide.- aliguana, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3I use it . Not because it has access to the iTMS (which I've only used twice), or for ease of use with iPods (cos I don't own one). I own it because it is easy to use, handles my vast catalog of music, can download podcasts, and is actually NICE to use. I like it. OK, there are lots of players that can do this, but I've tried them all and settled on iTunes. Nice software.
- froggiestone, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2And cowerflow too !
- brotherfranciz, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1You think .mp3 files are good looking eh?
- HUKI365, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3People use it for three reasons:
- terrapinz, on 02/03/2008, -0/+0The level of detail in this article is a thing of beauty! And then, of course, it really lays out a clearly marked path on just how to get the most out of the new iPod. I know my wife will love this! http://www.proproductsourcing.com
- cywei99, on 02/05/2008, -0/+1itunes really rocks! iTunes is definitely better than any other player in the market!
