7 and 7.1, oh, please! We know you can do better than that apple, now I can't even apply settings for my iPod without it crashing and quitting itself! And on the new iPods, you have to use it! Any help out there.. now?

similar issues here. My iPod causes iTunes to get the spinning beach ball of death requiing me to force quit every time. The worst part is it crashed my ipod and I somehow lost my tunes on said ipod. I am currently screwed.

At least you can open iTunes. I can't.

Have you guys got any haxxies installed? It works flawlessy on my G3 and PC running XP and Vista and always has, there has to be something running thats bringing iTunes down that some people have and some don't.

Hey, No problems here with my 4GB black 1st gen ipod nano and itunes. There are only 2 beefs I have with itunes 7:

1. It doesn't embed the album art in the actual files, it just keeps it in the DB. I want it in the file.
2. None of the itunes downloading apps work. I use them to keep my libraries consistent between my 2 machines.

I don't. No plugins or extras at all.

I get only intermittent access to the iTunes Store with 7.0.1. I often get the same error stating that I should check my network connection. This, despite the fact that I'm connected and can surf, email, etc.

I've been fortunate in that I have had zero problems with iTunes 7.0 and 7.0.1

no problems here, either.

26,000-song library mostly on a networked hard drive, some of it local.

Those of you with problems, try trashing your preferences files for iTunes. I can't speak for the ITS in the US but i've just downloaded Give Up by the Postal Service perfectly from the UK store with iTunes 7.0.1.8 and Vista RC 2.

i hate it how apple/mircosoft wont let us convert WMAs into MP3s on the mac in iTunes, even though they have this feature in the windows version.

analogika · Oct 21, 2006, 08:37 AM

In the Windows version, Apple is using the system's WMA playback architecture.

Couldn't help but resurect this thread.

it is a very unpolished app - I was just watching a video podcast now when suddenly it quit and on ropening acts like it has never been used - re imporst all mp3s etc etc into the app. At least it has this function but really!!

Seems polished to me, but I'm an Apple Apologist.
