iTunes 5 Released


Recommended Posts

Over 60 megs used when running! All the other services and crap it loads plus itunes itself and it's sucking up my ram. That's just insane. WMP uses around 12 megs. Why is Apple forcing me into Microsoft's hands? On a notebook with limited memory this just isn't an option.

anyone using windows version of 5 got a thick left and right border (like 2 pixel thick)?

Got that as well, I'll admit - iTunes 5 does look better on OS X than on XP even though I really don't like the new interface.

Radish?

I love the new interface myself. Looks very slick; although, I am not a huge fan of the color. They should have made the color light grey with a more glossy look--that would've been cooler.

Oh man, this is sweet! I just came back from a horrible day at school (all my homework coming from my two math classes, yuck!), but to see this - I feel a lot better now! Sweetness! The iPod Nano is godly! Boy, my download for iTunes 5 is taking a while. Stupid brother downloading massive amounts of crap, sucking up all the bandwidth.

So, was VBR AAC always an option?

I don't see it here in 4.9, so another improvement there.

AACPlus/HE-AAC would have been a nice addition IMO. Especially with the Nano being flash based (assuming that it too would support it ;) )

You might as well get the bundle, since it has a new version of QuickTime in it (7.0.2).

Radish?

Same style, different color.

I don't agree:

-It's an entirely different color;

-All the buttons used by iTunes are nowhere to be found in the rest of the system and it's applications;

-Mail 2.0's Unified Title/Toolbar look only fills the title and toolbar parts (as the name explains), everything beneath those two parts are filled by the default Aqua pinstripes;

-iTunes 5.0's style is 100% unified, it doesn't have pinstripes anywhere (see main window+ Equalizer) so it's not an Unified Title/Toolbar look since the style covers more than that alone.

But hey no one knows for sure, we'll just have to wait and see what Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard brings us. :)

anyone else notice itunes 5 installs a service called 'Bonjour' ?

Description:

Enables hardware devices and software services to automatically configure themselves on the network and advertise their presence, so that users can discover and use those services without any unnecessary manual setup or administration.

anyone know what it does?

I believe it is what was Rendezvous, used for the library sharing on a LAN.

Hope this helps: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonjour_(protocol) ;)

Also notice they are adding drop shadows to all the icons in the toolbar, not sure if I like that. Reminds me of what we call dirty aqua (10.0/10.1) days.

Also that gloss on the song info box looks awful.

I do though like the left col better than the metal ui.

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval by David Uzondu Image via @realDonalTrump (X) As OpenAI prepares the release of its next model, GPT 5.6, the White House has instructed the company to limit the distribution of the software to a small group of government-approved partners instead of the general public, as it has done with previous releases. According to The Information, OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman sent an internal memo to staff on Thursday explaining that the federal government will approve access "customer by customer" during an initial preview phase. Altman noted in the communication that this restrictive rollout is "not [their] long-term model" for software deployment, and the company plans to work toward a "more sustainable" distribution method later. CNN said that both OpenAI and the Trump administration view the capabilities of GPT 5.6 on the same level as Anthropic's Mythos and that government officials intend to "collaborate with frontier AI labs to develop shared approaches for addressing the challenges of scaling this technology." The latest restriction comes just weeks after the US Commerce Department decided to restrict Fable, a version of Mythos with extra safety "guardrails" to prevent users from exploiting software vulnerabilities. Not long after the release, though, researchers at Amazon found a way to bypass these restrictions, prompting an aggressive response from federal authorities. The government ordered Anthropic to cut off access for non-US citizens located outside the US, non-US citizens living inside the US, and incredibly, even Anthropic's own foreign-born employees. Anthropic now appears to be building a workaround to resolve this compliance block with an update to its Privacy Policy that introduces a category called "Verification Data" to handle KYC and Digital IDs. This setup could mandate digital identity checks to filter users by nationality, requiring a government-issued ID and facial biometric data. Who knows? Maybe in the future, you would have to scan your US Passport or State ID to prove your citizenship before you are allowed to chat with Fable 5 (or any other model).
    • When Windows 7 was released I created an AutoHotkey script that uses Alt+` as a keyboard shortcut to move a window across monitors. I have been using that script for over 15 years and this is the first time I have come across another app that uses the same shortcut!
    • I called it last year that they wouldn't end support when they said there would. There are too many people still on Windows 10 waiting for something better to upgrade to and 11 ain't it! The recent promises of fixing Windows 11's many problems is nice, but unless they deliver on those promises in a big way then I expect customers will still want to stick with 10.
