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.

    • Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 by Razvan Serea Run programs in a sandbox to prevent malware from making permanent changes to your PC. Sandboxie allows you to run your browser, or any other program, so that all changes that result from the usage are kept in a sandbox environment, which can then be deleted later. Sandboxie is a sandbox-based isolation software for 32- and 64-bit Windows NT-based operating systems. It is being developed by David Xanatos since it became open source, before that it was developed by Sophos (which acquired it from Invincea, which acquired it earlier from the original author Ronen Tzur). It creates a sandbox-like isolated operating environment in which applications can be run or installed without permanently modifying the local or mapped drive. An isolated virtual environment allows controlled testing of untrusted programs and web surfing. Sandboxie is available in two flavors Plus and Classic. Both have the same core components, this means they have the same level of security and compatibility. What's different is the user interface the Plus build has a modern Qt based UI which supports all new features that have been added since the project went open source. The Classic build has the old no longer developed MFC based UI, hence it lacks support for modern features, these features can however still be used when manually configured in the Sandboxie.ini. Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 release notes: Added added DisableCustomTitleOpt=[process,][y|n] to allow [#] sandboxie title markers on custom-titlebar windows (Delphi VCL, Qt, Electron) that were previously skipped to prevent DWM repaint CPU loops #5387 Changed updated bundled ImDisk driver to 3.0.2 #5419 Fixed fix Suppress logs for expected non-user SIDs #5422 SbieSvc.exe: SBIE2218/2219 error when run program as administrator #5417 fixed explorer.exe crashes in Application Compartment when Huorong Security is installed #5423 Download: Sandboxie Plus (64-bit) | 23.5 MB (Open Source) Download: Sandboxie Classic (64-bit) | 3.0 MB Links: Sandboxie Website | GitHub | ARM64 | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Hello, Christian Maas' XVI32 is a nice (and very small) hex editor. Speaking of hex editors, many years ago a colleague and I who both worked at Tribal Voice managed to edit a copy of the company's PowWow instant messaging client to make it behave better now that all of its lookup servers and other server-side tech was gone.  The program didn't support NAT (RFC-3022 was introduced in January 2001, the same time Tribal Voice was shuttered), but it still worked okay if you manually set up port-forwarding on your router.  The server at http://powwow.jazy.net/ hosts a copy (usual warnings about downloading and running untrusted code from random internet servers apply). I occasionally use some tools like Funduc Software's Search and Replace and Application Mover when I need to make mass-edits to text-based files or move programs with a hard-coded installation directories, respectively.  When I need to figure out the exact LCD panel inside of a laptop, EnTech Taiwan's Monitor Asset Manager is my go-to tool for that purpose. JD Design's website (now hosted on github.io) has a number of interesting freeware and shareware utilities.  I used to use their TouchPro utility to set the file timestamps on software I was mastering to match its version number (e.g., version 3.00 of a program had all of its files dates set to 3:00AM, and so forth). Karenware has a number of interesting freeware utilities, too. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky  
    • I still use HexChat! Not really as ancient as the 1994 AutoCAD above my post, but I have never found anything better to replace it. Yes we still operate an IRC server https://www.neowin.net/irc/ 😛 
    • At work we still have a couple of people that use a version of AutoCAD LT purchased in 1994. This predates Windows 95 and works fine on versions of Windows up to XP. Its long since run in an locked down isolated XP VM, accessible via RDP. I did install LibreCAD for them, however they said it was just too different to get to grips with. In all fairness one of them is now 75 and the other is almost 60.
