iTunes 3.0.1 released - in my Software D/L but it does not say what has changed.

Well I guess he's just helping the mac community, by keeping all of us informed. Instead of your post, his one had any sense.

Do you when u senselessly bash someone? I, for one, found his post usefull. I have turned to automatic check of the SW updater off and manualy check it when I hear that something is out. So, considering the way I 'work', this was an extremely useful post and I thank the original poster. However, you, are just a... aaaa whatever... not even worth it.

Wow. Now that doesn't make any sense.

What I want to know is this:

How many MacNN Forum lammies just shot their loads on their keyboard when Software Update opened (before this thread was posted), only to find an iTunes update?

Well the only thing that would make any sense, is if someone could tell us what has changed in the .0.1 update.

Instead of faming anyone, anytime, anywhere, ....

"iTunes 3.0.1 includes a number of performance enhancements to iTunes 3.0, and provides improved support for Mac OS X version 10.2."

Well, I don't know what's new either, other than "10.2 improvements", but what annoys me is that this things requires a reboot. Ok, no big deal, I know iTunes has some CD-RW, iPod and other lower level stuff included but still, is a reboot really necessary?

Don't worry phil...I'm sure we'll have 35 ***OMG 10.2.1 IS OUT*** "first posts" fairly soon here...

Uh, yes. I use it to see if there's any new Windows software.

But that's besides the point.

There was just no reason at all to bash off the original poster. There are a lot of post which are far more ridiculous!

That's it, end of discussion, live and let live, etc ...

Yes, yes I did. I felt that by posting this information first my fellows would accept me for once, but it's proved a disastrous mistake. Now I only feel hatred and resentment to me.

Pass me the potassium cyanide...

[sniffer]

Now what the heck's the matter people?
Show some character and stop bashing eachother.. If you doesn't have much to say, it's better to stay quiet mostly.

Now! Please tell me if OpenGL visualsations is finally supported on late 2001 ibooks like mine i.e..

[iPond317]

Guess what?! OpenGL works in iTunes now on my TiBook 400! I can tell a huge difference with it now especially while using Web browsers. There's harldly no choppiness anymore! Wahoo!

maybe some of you guys could stop barking at each other long enough to notice that iTunes 3.0.1 is noticeably zippier now?

ps It doesn't seem to erase yr harddrive neither, at least it didn't mine.

[robotmarkVIII]

I just downloaded it in class a few minutes ago. I'm surprised there's no Rendezvous support yet. That was supposed to be an update by know IIRC

Right so perhaps we should have waited a week before anyone post anything about iTunes 3.0.1, because f*ck knows why anyone would want to talk about an apple product when it is released .

Does it make you feel good being able to lurk around and be the first to let rip on anyone who starts a thread about a software update?

Some people are just downright rude.

No. Jobs said Rendezvous is what they're doing "six to nine months out in iTunes". Six to nine months from July is January - April 2003, at the earliest.

piracy -

i have to admit that i agree with much of the content of your posts (although lambasting someone for their grammar skills when english is not their primary language is NOT one of those cases), however the tone and manner in which you express your thoughts puzzles me.

it just seems that you spend an incredible amount of time and energy working yourself up and becoming exasperated over things that are in no way in your power to control.

yes, most of the people in the world are completely clueless. haven't you figured that out by now? people like to speculate about build numbers, release dates and debugging code. people don't search forums before asking questions. so what?

why do these things continue to surprise and bother you? and why the compulsion to post the nasty "i give up" responses. you SHOULD give it up, let it go and relax, man. there are more important things to get upset over. if people want to have a little innocent fun talking about crap, let them i say.

om shanti. peace.

Hell yeah its faster for me. Whew...

Heh, really. I was suprised.

Eh, VT lost my respect when they took over MacFixit and made it payware.

People giving them free help, then them charging people to read it.

Lame.

As a Wictim of the 2.0 iTunes Accidental Installer, I'm wery wery wary. I'll let you guinea pigs go on ahead and tell me how it works.

I hate VT for many other reasons too from a software developers point of view. They were very immature when dealing with me.

Just fired up the SoftwareUpdate and installed iTunes 3.0.1. No problem at all and I'm ripping CD now.

"iTunes 3.0.1 released - in my Software D/L but it does not say what has changed" is hardly a cracking review for the masses @ macnn, is it? if you want to hang around and talk about non-details, then go nuts pal. there was a much point in me saying what i did, as he did: none. maybe waiting until there was something to talk about would have been cooler?

Of course. I mean its stupid to imagine people might want to actually know when new software is released - that's a bad thing.

We're all so sorry, oh wise and all knowing one. Next time, we'll run our posts past you to get your "coolness" approval before we post anything. Will that make you happy? Maybe if you a little more control over your clicking finger, you wouldn't be running into these threads and getting you all in a tissy. Be strong! Fight the compulsive clicking of thread topics!

Man you guys just bitch on and on and on....

[spectre]

iTunes 3.0.1 seems quite a bit faster in general. It has lower computer usage (for me), and it just seems smooth. I think the bug where burning at high speeds would cause errors is gone now too..

[wataru]

I installed the 10.2.1 update and iTunes 3.0.1 at the same time, and after reboot Sotware Update prompted me to update to iTunes 3.0.1 again. So I did, and on restart I was prompted again!

I cancelled and confirmed that I do, indeed have iTunes 3.0.1. But Software Update still tells me I can update to iTunes 3.0.1.

Any idea what's going on?

[Gee4orce]

Just a general warning - I'm getting pissed off with the number of junk messages posted to this forum. If a thread degenerates into almost total junk (like this one) I will not lock the thread, or move it. I will simply delete it.

Now, back on topic.

I found iTunes (what's the new version number now - 3.1, or 3.01 ?) to be smoother overall. I noticed that live window resize is now in (but by hell it's slow), and that the visualiser is much much faster when running in the window (on a Quartz Extreme machine, G4, with OpenGL turned on) - literally twice the frame rate.

Good update IMO.

That pleases me ever so greatly. I don't want to restart, so 10.2.1 and iTunes 3.0.1 must wait.

[voodoo]

Look. This forum is a community of Mac users. This part of the forum has to do with OS X. While Apple doesn't send me a personal e-mail notifying me of updates I come here to see if there is anything new in OS X. It's so much easyier than using the monster that is Veriontracker. I wouldn't even use that **** if I'd get paid for it.

Don't be such an arse. Go out and steal some cars or something. I for one look on MacNN to find out what's going on in the Mac world.

Nyaaar!

MP3's and college parties go hand in hand!!! I would lock my computer in my closets and keep the keyboard, mouse and monitor on the outside... That way, the worst case scenario would be a stolen monitor. I then upgraded to a wireless keyboard and mouse connected to my main TV in the living room... That was the master plan of all time!

I still don't understand why it's OK for us to burn our own music from a CD, but it's not OK to burn our movies from a DVD... Oh well

Hmm.. Wonder when iTunes is about to move over to mp4 as an import option..?

Probably never, since MP4 is video. If you're wondering about AAC audio, then that'll probably happen when the iPod supports it.

MP4 is for audio and video. QuickTimePro has an mp4 export option that works with audio files. I have imported whole cd's easely trough iTunes in combination with QTPro and a script (Sorry I don't have the link at hand to that script). iTunes also have built in support to play mp4 files. Works as a charm. Great huh?

Same here. And yet the software update logs are up to date... Strange.

It is really amusing that people who probably think of themselves as Mac experts as so taken in by Apple's marketing hyperbole about Rendezvous.

There is no reason why the iTunes 'Rendezvous feature' demoed by Steve Jobs in New York and Paris could not have been implemented in iTunes 1!

People do not seem to understand what Rendezvous really is and Apple is being horrendously disingenuous with some of its marketing of the product.

[funkboy]

Well hot darn, iTunes is better now. The visualizer is slicker, even on my non-Quartz-Extreme supported iBook 500.

I do not see live resizing, though. I bet it's only enabled if you have Quartz Extreme. Here I still have the outline draw when I resize.

Only on G4s.

[mrchin]

If I'm correct AAC is mp3 pro. That's already supported by iTunes. It can't import at mp3 pro, but it can play this format. But, iPod still doesn't support it. Hoperully in a future update.
