It feels the same to me on Windows. An unusual lag on launch even with an SSD. Is it possible to store the library on one drive and the media files on another whilst keeping it organized by iTunes all at the same time? I imagine it's because I have my library file on a standard HDD.

Everything else is the same.

I have to say though, scrolling thumbnails seems a bit slower but I didn't used to have them so small, therefore it displays more at once.

Well, it certainly feels faster than iTunes 10.7.

The UI will take some getting used to (I never really could navigate iTunes very well, but granted, I've been using Zune as my default player for 3 years). Also, I'm glad that iTunes finally recognizes the media buttons on my keyboard, even when in the background. (That was one thing that was keeping me from using it as my primary player, as it couldn't recognize those buttons if it wasn't the focused window.)

I just don't understand why iTunes needs to generate an XML file for my music collection.

It's easier for Apple to use XML rather than a proprietary format or a a database platform.

What does not native 64-bit mean? I am installing it on Win8 right now and it seems to be 64-bit.

I believe just the installer is 64-bit. The actual executable is 32bit.

To be honest though: folks, we are talking about a music playing app here. 64-bit really wouldn't mean much in terms of anything that matters (like performance).

Can't try it out for myself at the moment, but how does the OS X version "feel"? Is it a real rewrite or basically iTunes 10 with a new interface stuck on top?

I can't tell for sure, don't know what signs to look for, but to me it feels like iTunes 10 with a new interface slapped on top of it. Same settings and edit dialogues and the list is still laggy, among other things.

What is this "increased iCloud support"? Does anyone know what the hell that means exactly?

Haven't received that error message about relogging into iTunes Store to get Match working again...but it was intermittent anyway so it is hard to tell if that bug has finally be squashed.

GTFO, that non-native Preferences window with the "OK" and "Cancel" buttons is still there?! :blink:

Can someone check iTunes' package contents on OS X, is iTunes.rsrc still what draws much of the interface?

It still uses .rsrc files... Old thing, new coat...

Thats just freaking stupid! I can't believe that Apple did this!

Not sure if you're being sarcastic or not, but I was really hoping Apple would finally rewrite the iTunes interface and let the app shed its Mac OS 9 origins.

It's not a total rewrite - only the user interface has been rewritten.

Actually this shows the interface hasn't been rewritten at all, Apple merely altered it.

Easily done. I have my library on my C drive but all my media on D. In the preferences you can tell it where to store the media library.

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
