Podcasts now have album view and coverflow.

Also the soundcheck bug for podcasts (it wasn't adding soundcheck values to new podcasts) is fixed.

There is also support for streaming photos from any computer to AppleTV.

will they ever add FLAC and Monkey Audio support? ............

Some people on Hydrogenaudio claim that the Leopard version of QuickTime will have FLAC support, which also means iTunes probably will have it too.

Anybody know how to permanently delete or remove the AppleMobileDeviceHelper process?

Edit: nvm, uninstall from add remove programs

What I did is this: I extracted the installer I downloaded from apple. Deleted the msi for the mobile devices and executed the ones for iTunes and Quicktime.

ok thanks. i already had it installed so i just went into add/remove and took it out. But next time ill try what you mentioned.

This way if the only update iTunes, you only install iTunes. Saves a little bit of time and the hassle of removing Quicktime from the system tray. :D

This update really screwed up the sorting.

My Mac OS X is in Spanish, so now iTunes doesn't ignore "The" at the beginning of artists' names anymore. iTunes used to ignore "The" and it would sort the artists appropriately, now all the "The.." artists are sorted together.

iTunes is now set to ignore things such as "La, El, Los" in song names, and in Spanish it would be correct. However, it doesn't matter to iTunes if it's by itself or if it's part of a name. "Lang Lang" is now sorted by "ng Lang" and it's between the N's. "Elton John" is sorted by "ton John".

That seems to be a bug to me, it should only sort articles, not letters that happen to form articles.

LOL, you should get rid of "Los Tigres del Norte" y "Los Tucanes de Tijuana", man, that's not music for an iPod...

Just kidding, just rename them eliminating "the" for example, I have "Los Enanitos Verdes" in my iPod, I just renamed then as "Enanitos Verdes"...there, problem solved!

I found if you edit the Sort Artist and Sort Album fields with like for example AAA 10 Years for an artist, or AAA 10,000 Days for a album, it works wonders. You can also edit back The with the Sort Name field.

Using this, it took me a little over an hour to reverse iTunes v7.3's re-ordering nightmare. :p

    • EU Commission explains why Siri AI isn't launching in the EU, and Apple is to blame

      By WaltC · Posted

      The problem of course is simply that government does not always know best. My point is that agency is taken away from the EU consumer in these cases. I'm sorry, but I do not believe that governments (politicians) are inherently good, and "looking out for me." Primarily they look to themselves and their own personal desires first, foremost, and always. When the EU or the DOJ fines these companies, claiming to "represent the welfare of the consumer," how much of these billion-dollar judgments are handed to the consumers they claim to represent? Not even a dollar, as I've seen. Yet the EUC lawyers who are paid to sit around and dream up these suits make huge commissions on the fines the EUC adjudicates, which is an ironclad fact I hope everyone is aware of. It's also rank corruption, of course, but that's another topic. Last, when the EU inflicts these judgments, or the DOJ, take your pick, the costs are bundled right along in the cost of the goods and services these companies provide the consumers they are "looking out for." If you are someone who believes his government is his savior then you have my condolences. I think Apple is right here, because the whole scheme of consumer choice is that consumers pick and choose among the products companies offer. Microsoft Windows is more compatible with third party software and hardware than any desktop OS on Earth, which is my sole reason for choosing it. Just because the EUC forces companies do certain things it knows the companies do not want to do, "or else", has no bearing on consumer benefit. This Siri thing is almost idiotic it's so infantile. But this is what the EUC does when the EU in Brussels becomes cash-strapped and needs a big infusion of cash. Some people get upset by "big companies" but it's the opposite when governments dwarf the size and scope of these companies, which is so obvious it hurts.... I mean you can't honestly believe that forcing Apple to do things with Siri it has its own reasons to decline is something that "opens up" Apple, do you? Say it aint' so...

      Looks like many years since the request was made, a directory tree view finally may be added. https://github.com/files-community/Files/pull/18537

      Is it still super slow or has it improved on that area?

      There's this from last year https://gist.github.com/threat...364659a8887841aa43deca4efd9 but nothing about a buffer overflow that MS somehow can't code against. No matter what, it makes sense to take a "protected by default" approach.
