- dhmlco, on 11/08/2007, -3/+50If you're a 17-year-old with 20,000 songs, then you've got more serious problems ahead than dealing with Cover Flow.
- TennisElbow, on 11/08/2007, -1/+29Ummm, you do know that coverflow is an OPTION in iTunes, right? The button to toggle the view of album art from coverflow to regular list view is right there in your face all the time at the top of the iTunes window. What kind of idiot are you that can't figure that out?
- sockpuppets, on 11/08/2007, -0/+26My mom was kidnapped by pirates, I have to use utorrent to communicate with her now.
- Kakcoo, on 11/08/2007, -2/+18And very very unstable :-/

- sparced, on 11/08/2007, -0/+1133,357 in Cover Flow but I prefer the look of middle view, grouped with art work. More like browsing your own store then.
- scoobycarolan, on 11/08/2007, -0/+10I have 23,000 tracks in iTunes and still use Cover Flow!
- chrup, on 11/08/2007, -0/+10The story mentions "... take the plunge ..." - what plunge? Usually a "plunge" is associated with having to fork out some $$$ but since iTunes is free, what gives.
- mfearby, on 11/08/2007, -0/+9What's with the 50 - 60MB updates every week or so? That's insane. Why on earth can't Apple figure out how to do smaller updates like everybody else? Is it just laziness!
- zhenya00, on 11/08/2007, -2/+10what a waste of a click. Story deliberately truncated to make it seem like there is something actually new and interesting available. Save the click, last sentence should read: '...primarily to provide international iphone support and a new game.' Wow.
- natedouglas, on 11/08/2007, -0/+8I really, really wish they'd either 1) allow the user to specify a place for movies and tv shows to be stored, or 2) at least fix the bug that prevents aliases within the iTunes Music directory from working properly.
- rye425, on 11/07/2007, -1/+9Damnit, still no iTunes support for 64bit Vista :(
- natedouglas, on 11/08/2007, -0/+8His parents are probably more of the X/Lynyrd Skynyrd generation, at this point, if not the Metallica/Sonic Youth generation.
- etandrib, on 11/08/2007, -0/+7You're safe(r) from viruses though… right? Well i guess if you can find the drivers to load your system. Sorry man…
- PittPanthersFan, on 11/08/2007, -1/+8This is an article about iTunes. Please stop whoring Foobar, Winamp, etc.
Seriously, people... - gmprunner, on 11/08/2007, -1/+6Wouldn't laziness = NOT doing updates?
- stalefries, on 11/08/2007, -0/+5I assume you run iTunes on a Mac. I do to, although I've had experience with iTunes on Windows machines, and it's much worse over there. I imagine it has a lot to do with having to port a Mac-native app to a different platform, and yet maintain the same UI.
- hexydes, on 11/08/2007, -0/+5Sadly, the malware writers are quicker to update their "software" than most of the software industry...
- SoundScape, on 11/08/2007, -0/+4No, that would just make them LAZIER.
I'm an iTunes defender, but their update size is a bit ridiculous. There's nothing difficult about only updating the program files that have changed since the last version. - rheaume, on 11/08/2007, -0/+4How. Dare. You.
- sofaKing812, on 11/08/2007, -3/+6I miss Our Tunes.
- Nameless1, on 11/09/2007, -0/+3I can see the headlines. Man sued for $ 30 billion.
- SoundScape, on 11/08/2007, -0/+3Update worked fine for me. Most obvious update off the bat is the battery life indicator for my iPod.
- supermajic, on 11/08/2007, -4/+7actually i just realised it's a lot less than 20 000.. more like 15 000.. i spent a looooong time putting all my cds to my family computer (basically my whole familys collection of cds, which is huge.)
- stuartjmoore, on 11/08/2007, -0/+3If you move the TV Shows or Movies folder, it will still work in iTunes from there. I'm not sure if new videos are added to that folder, I'm pretty sure they're not.
- Bokista, on 11/08/2007, -0/+3I'm pretty sure this is a new feature, but now iTunes will let you know if you're going to add duplicate songs to a playlist and gives you the option to skip them.
- DarkDx, on 11/08/2007, -1/+4Wow.
- stalefries, on 11/08/2007, -0/+2For people with huge libraries (like yours), I'd like to check the play counts on songs and see if the songs closer to the beginning of your list are played more frequently.
- natedouglas, on 11/08/2007, -1/+3You can turn off Coverflow... since you're using Windows, I definitely wouldn't recommend iTunes. I
- HenkPoley, on 11/07/2007, -0/+2I like uncompleted
- faston, on 11/08/2007, -1/+3They are adding 'events' to the syncing of your iPhoto library. This is one of the few things that I was disappointed with when I got my ipod Touch....now it's fixed and I am happy!
- Rethcir, on 11/07/2007, -0/+2My new classic was acting pretty flaky with the last few versions. It sometimes wouldn't pick up the ipod when I connected it, or it would report the ipod as being corrupt. (Note, I am using Vista). Since updating, it seems to be acting much more reliably.
- dualaudi, on 11/08/2007, -0/+2When can I stream more than 5 people in a day!?
- cwgannon, on 11/08/2007, -0/+2Of course it is unstable. A quick peek at the page shows Songbird is currently at v .03, a developer pre-release.
Open source music manager? Try Amarok ... if you're running Linux. - gaberbruno, on 11/08/2007, -1/+3I've got an ipod touch; I tried plugging in my touch on 64 bit Vista in itunes 7.4 and got a message along the lines of "this iphone is incompatable with this version of itunes." I now get a message in itunes 7.5 along the lines of "this ipod is incompatable with 32bit itunes and that I should uninstall this version of itunes and install a 64 bit version of itunes." (I paraphrase slightly)
Of course this being Windows there is currently no 64bit itunes for Windows; perhaps this is a sign of one to come soon? - HonoredMule, on 11/07/2007, -0/+2Songbird's performance and stability is in my opinion very poor, but it's latest implementation of behavior and design is exactly what I feel iTunes SHOULD be (and once upon a time was, but less functionally so). It's also build on a strong foundation. Like so many other open source projects, songbird's growth will be slow and methodical. But I feel it's one of the "just right" applications that will become a major standard and gain widespread popularity, much like firefox or apache. And, OS-agnosticism. YAY!
I haven't let songbird show its feathers for a little while except for the occasional quick peek, so it's probably time to give it another serious review. I expect it's greatest failing for me will still be trying to manage an iPod Shuffle with it. - HonoredMule, on 11/07/2007, -0/+2songbird
- gmprunner, on 11/08/2007, -1/+2Is it really iTunes' fault that you only load it up when new updates are available? And what's bad about it notifying you?
- gmprunner, on 11/08/2007, -1/+2Would someone please explain to me why so many people seem to think that iTunes is bloated? To me iTunes seems quite thin, especially given all the features and capabilities it has.
- jostheller, on 11/08/2007, -7/+8no joke... what's that about? Seriously.. Microsoft needs to pull the plug on x64 bit vista. As if Vista wasn't bad enough, how would you like the 64 bit OS that is not supported by anything? Not even Microsoft's own freaking apps have 64 bit versions. Would it kill them to compile their office source code for 64 bit?
I swear to god... if I can ever convince my wife that she really doesn't need that windows partition, and that she really can easily do everything on the Fedora partition... Microsoft will be cast from my life. - stalefries, on 11/08/2007, -0/+1Some people like to wait to make sure that Apple hasn't made any changes on how iPhones sync, for example.
- hmunkey, on 11/08/2007, -1/+2I just wish iTunes wasn't so slow. By comparison to other software it seems overly bloated. I don't have Apple Tv or an iPhone, so why should I have to download their software too?
- Kazenodeku, on 11/07/2007, -0/+1Really? I'm using it right now. I only use it to play music, sure, but I've experienced no problems thus far.
- brufleth, on 11/08/2007, -0/+1When all you want to do is load a new album onto your ipod that's what the f'ing software should do. None of this automatic updating and slowing everything down BS. Many people (myself included) just need something to take music from computer to music player. All the rest is just annoying.
- brufleth, on 11/08/2007, -0/+1Winamp is still my music manager of choice. Works faster and better with iPods than itunes and handles large libraries much better.
- brufleth, on 11/08/2007, -0/+1Winamp
- brufleth, on 11/08/2007, -0/+1At least on Windows itunes is f'ing horrible. It is NOT feature rich at all. Doing simple things like finding a specific album some how manages to be a pain in the ass. Startup takes forever, it constantly wants to update this or that. Large libraries take forever to load and often crash even on mid to high end machines. I use winamp for loading things onto my ipod and it is fast and easy.
- brufleth, on 11/08/2007, -0/+1Better question, why is a music player and library manager so big?
- brufleth, on 11/08/2007, -0/+1People ask for alternatives and so people respond with alternatives. I've only seen people responding to questions like, "itunes is bloated, isn't there anything else I can use to load music onto my ipod?" mentioning alternatives.
- olaph, on 11/10/2007, -2/+3sounds like apple is turning into microsoft LOL
