Tim Dorr Veteran Posted May 9, 2005 Author Veteran Share Posted May 9, 2005 What's interesting is some pages on their site still reference version 4.7. Some even still reference Bonjour as the old name, Rendezvous. Apple's normally more perfecting that that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[idkfa] Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 ah, sweet. Does the Windows version also sync contacts? If so, I can dump that app I've written :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Dorr Veteran Posted May 9, 2005 Author Veteran Share Posted May 9, 2005 Was there an option for playing videos in a new window or full screen in 4.7? I haven't used iTunes on my Mac in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theyarecomingforyou Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Now all they have to do is bring out Quicktime 7 for windows 585895836[/snapback] Yes, but they have to delay it a while to make Mac users feel special. Either that or they are actually trying to make this version a decent media player... nah, scratch that, I'll stick with my first guess. Quicktime is great for streaming videos and the occasional .mov file, but is horrendous for anything else (on Windows). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Veteran Posted May 9, 2005 Veteran Share Posted May 9, 2005 As the iTunes uses the Safari engine (even in Windows) to browse the iTMS, I wonder if they have updated it to the Safari 2 engine. EDIT: iTMS seems much faster, so I assume they have done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richter Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 So, QuickTime 6.5.2 is bundled with this release? No VBR? If so then I guess iTunes 5 is around the corner. This was just released probably to disable hacks. All the fuss for nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
