You know, more than anything, the monochromatic thing really has me scratching my head. It practically removes a whole subset of visual cues from the app and really doesn't make any sense.

Yeah, I'm really not feeling it - just looks like the whole sidebar isn't selected? It's like the new 360 controller with the greyscale buttons - is this the current trend or something?

I really don't like the new checkboxes either - I wish you could turn them off.

I hated the icon from the preview shots, but it's not so bad in use although KoLs is MUCH nicer!

I like the album art player, although TBH I doubt I'll use it.

Seems about the same to me performance wise, but I've never had any issues with running iTunes on Windows really.

Just noticed you can FINALLY move the artist column so it's first!

Was gonna give this new version a try but uninstalled it. I just cant freaking stand how this program deals with adding your music to the library and album art. I have folder.jpg's in every album, but itunes completely ignores them and would rather download album art for everything itself (and it cant find album art for half my music) and it just takes AGES to add my music to the library compared to any other playing it. It has to add it, dl album art, and then analyze for gapless playback for 12 million hours. And then if you want to use genius you might as well leave your pc on for a few days while it finishes. :rolleyes:

And also even though I unchecked things in the installer like update apple software it installs: apple software update and safari, along with all the other crap it installs. Bonjour, quicktime, apple mobile device support, apple software support ect. Had way more processes running on my system after installing it. I would like itunes if they would cut down on the ridiculous amount of crap it installs and processes it runs and streamline the process of adding stuff to your library, but right now its just so convoluted.

^ I'm glad the min/max/close buttons are in the normal places on Windows - that would drive me mad on OS X!

If they wanted them the same as the miniplayer, why not just changed the miniplayer? There's plenty of room there if they just dropped the play buttons down a bit.

Because it's a mini-player and that's the best place to put them to conserve space :p

I quite like the new look, but the icon is terrible. Looks ugly on my Windows 7 Taskbar. The worst thing about iTunes is the Store - it takes ages to load pages now with all the content on them!

Roll on iOS 4.1!! :)

stay with foobar, problem solved :whistle:

Who was in charge of iTunes 10???

First of all, hiding the album covers in list view for albums that don't have x number of songs SUCKS! Now it looks like a mess!

The vertical traffic light.. really apple? I hope that's not going to be a new standard because it looks horrid.

Ping... cool idea that many have tried already but why can't I use a nickname instead? I don't want my billing name published all over!

</rant>

If you're on OS X (and if you're complaining about the vertical traffic lights, I guess you are :p):

defaults write com.apple.iTunes full-window -1

Just plug that into Terminal and restart iTunes. Should be back to normal.

I think I'm happy with this version of the icons. Now to make the smaller sizes. http://cl.ly/8dc057af500bc984d85c

Those are hotness. :woot:

I really don't like the new checkboxes either - I wish you could turn them off.

Just uncheck this (in Preferences) and you're good to go:

Well now I'm happy again! lol Thank you!

Is anyone having issue with their album covers not showing with the "cover flow" display view?

They were showing after I installed iTunes 10 but then after a while they just disappeared for some reason. And now its just black.

Is this a new bug :(?

I closed and restarted iTunes and still now Album covers in the "cover flow" display view.

Just want to report it is definately faster, in terms of Startup, loading of App Store ( First Page only, others still seems to take forever ), iPhone related operations are all snappier.

However it is by no means a fast apps. It is still slow when doing Multiple things at once, scrolling is still slow etc...

But at least it is an improvement...

Yes I agree iTunes 10 definately overall seems faster!

Now if Apple can just make Quicktime open faster on Windows I would be very happy!

Well it could be even smaller if they had them horizontally and move the play buttons down slightly.

Ah cheers for that! Is that a new option, never noticed it before... but maybe it's because they didn't bother me much before.

Beautiful icons as always KoL, just one thing - is that mark in the bottom right corner meant to be there? It looks ok on the square icon but seems out of place on the round one. I guess you'd barely notice it normal size though.

thank you for that!!! the vertical buttons where driving me nuts

Hey,

Why do we even need quicktime?

This has to get repeated at least once with every new version of iTunes, but here goes: Quicktime forms the back end of iTunes just as the Windows Media Runtime files form the back end of Windows Media Player and the Zune software on Windows. Quicktime Player is only one part (although the most visible part) of Quicktime as a whole.

Yes I agree iTunes 10 definately overall seems faster!

Now if Apple can just make Quicktime open faster on Windows I would be very happy!

Agreed, The Windows version of Quicktime has been neglected, and could do with a large update to the standard that Quicktime X has.

    • Server Summit had a heap of announcements, ADCS changes are baller.
    • Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.

    • It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
