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

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.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.

      The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.

      I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
