How in the heck does it know which albums should be gapless???

The way I think it does it is that it examines the sound output at the beginning and end of each track of songs that are a part of an album of compilation - if the end of the first track seems to come close to matching that of the beginning of the second track, it enables gapless playback for both of the tracks. :)

If that's true, the chances of us "original 5G" people getting the new search UI are high!

I hope the current iPod get the new search!

I tried to watch the event... but it's very choppy i don't know why :\

i'm guessing lots of people watching at once..

i stopped watching mid-way, it was too much of an after thought after i read the minute by minute updates lol

**thanks for the tidbit about excluding itunes from shapeshifter, orson

im sorry but that event sucked. where's the damn widescreen/touchscreen ipod??

What a joke, no proper widescreen ipod video, they seemed more focused on the fact that the new shuffle has a clip on the back and that they all have new boxes.

My dreams of a h264 capable portable video player are dashed.

Patience, if they brought that one out people would be complaining that it's too close to the 5G release....

Most rumours already indicated that we would see an updated iPod 5g around this time and that the iPod 6g (or whatever) would come somewhere in 2007. So I'm not sure what the mayor disappointment is...

The new speed-scrolling and the brightness features appear to be in my original 5G ipod with thee 1.2 firmware! :) The firmware's available from itunes now if you go to Help and Check for Updates.

I see no signs the search feature though, or it's located somewhere I dont know.

Edit: Oh, and gapless doesn't seem to be present. The songs dont seem gapless, nor do I see any option.

Edit: Actually, on a second listening, gapless does indeed seem to be present when i play by albums! :D

yes but skip the lame ass update and give us what we want. WIDESCREEN.

I've gotten a huge performance increase with iTunes. The gapless playback is great, and no, it's not album-specific. It's for the entire library and it sounds freaking awesome.

And for those of you getting huge amounts of memory usage, it's the album artwork features... So if you have the "grouped with artwork" view or the "cover browser" open, then your memory usage is going to be pretty high.

    • You can't remove Safari though. Or almost any other bundled app for that matter, and pretty much all of them are useless to me (and there are is a heap of them compared to Windows). I'll much rather take Edge than Safari, at least it can be highly customized vs. Safari. I'll take a PC with ten Edges over a Mac any day though as I can't stand all the limitation and painfully frustrationg restriction that make me dislike their stuff with a burning passion, iOS included (especially iOS).
    • DVD only? What kind of self-respecting optical disk backup/ripping tool doesn't support Blu-ray these days? I burned all my DVDs like 15+ years ago...

    • Glow 26.9 by Razvan Serea Glow provides detailed reporting on every hardware component in your computer, saving you valuable time typically spent searching for CPU, motherboard, RAM, graphics card, and other stats. With Glow, all the information is conveniently presented in one clean interface, allowing you to easily access and review the comprehensive hardware details of your system. Glow provides detailed information on various system aspects, including OS, motherboard, processor, memory, graphics card, storage, network, battery, drivers, and services. The well-organized format ensures easy access to the required information. You can export all the gathered data to a plain text file, facilitating sharing with others for troubleshooting purposes. No installation needed. Just decompress the archive, launch the executable, and access computer-related information. Glow runs on Windows 11 and Windows 10 64-bit versions. Glow 26.9 changelog: New Features The processor hardware detection engine has been significantly enhanced beyond traditional Intel and AMD architectures. Native support is now available for modern platforms such as Apple Silicon (M-Series) and the newly introduced NVIDIA Spark. In addition, all ARM-based processors can now be accurately distinguished between ARM32 and ARM64 architectures, providing precise hardware reporting. This marks a major milestone for Glow's hardware detection capabilities. The RAM manufacturer identification algorithm has been expanded. JEDEC vendor codes for popular brands such as Patriot, PNY, Team Group, GeIL, Lexar (Longsys), and Asgard/Gloway have been integrated into the database. This significantly reduces the likelihood of incorrect or "Unknown Manufacturer" results and improves overall hardware detection accuracy. New Public IP Address and Internet Service Provider (ISP) features have been added to the Network section. To ensure reliability, this information is retrieved from the trusted service ipwho.is. When Hiding Mode is enabled, no requests are sent and these features remain hidden, as they may expose sensitive information. The search engine used in the Installed Drivers, Installed Services, and Installed Applications sections has been enhanced. You can now perform more flexible and accurate searches using initials, partial matches, and loosely arranged character sequences. The TS Preloader loading bar has been rebuilt using our modern TS Custom Controls graphics library, developed entirely in-house. As a result of this infrastructure upgrade, the loading bar now features smooth rendering and rounded corners that align with the visual style of Windows 11. [TS Updater] A new validation algorithm has been added to check whether the target application is currently running before the update process begins. Bug Fixes Resolved a condition that could prevent TS Preloader from shutting down safely during rare application crash scenarios. Fixed a text alignment issue in the Network section affecting the display of DNS addresses. Alignment is now rendered correctly. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue that could prevent the updated application's executable "*.exe" file from being located after the update process. [TS Updater] Fixed a bug that could leave outdated "*.sha256" files in the application directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed a rare issue that could cause subfolders to be moved into the root directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue during the first launch that could cause flickering and a temporary white window appearance due to Windows Defender interactions. Changes A small improvement has been made to the internet connectivity detection algorithm. Connectivity checks are now performed in the background with minimal impact on the user interface thread. The keyboard shortcuts in the top menu have been reorganized and simplified to provide a consistent experience across all Türkaysoft applications and to avoid potential conflicts with standard Windows shortcuts. The TS Preloader splash image has been updated with a Türkiye-themed stadium design to celebrate Türkiye's qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup—its first appearance in 24 years. Congratulations, Türkiye! The TS Custom Controls module has been updated to version 26.6, delivering improved stability and a more polished visual appearance. [TS Updater] The application icon has been redesigned to provide a more modern and refined look. Note: Always unzip the program before using it. Otherwise you may get an error.
