Still does not address the syncing issues with Outlook/MobileMe (i.e. all day appointments a day out, other appointments shifted by one or more hours) that 9.1's release introduced.
The slap in the face for people who really make use of their Outlook calendars on their iPhones continues?
Wow, now only 4 times bigger than songbird and supports about half of the file formats! That's what I call progress. I'm not saying songbird is especially high quality, but iTunes is definitely stagnating due to Apple's absolute lack of competitors in this category.
I'd love it if Apple would blow up iTunes, and come up with something about half as big that supports FLAC (if my TV can read and play FLAC from a USB stick, then iTunes should be able to as well, sorry) and can deal with a library over 100GB without constant interface lagging. It feels like they just keep adding junk onto it like some sort of music frankenstein, while the underlying problems just keeping getting more crap piled on top of them which they in turn cause problems with.
I long for the day when Apple will finally realise iTunes on Windows is a bloated, unreliable, incredibly poorly written piece of junk and re-write it from the ground up.
iTunes is the only PC application I've ever seen that can totally lock up even the most powerful PCs for many minutes at a time when syncing a USB device. How is that even possible? Apple must have tried incredibly hard to write something this awful.

Maybe you have a USB driver issue. I know people who don't have "the most powerful PCs" and don't have this problem.

Why would apple throw in a lot support for codecs that the iPod/iPhone doesn't support? iTunes is primarily written for Apple products. Why complicate it with formats that their devices don't play? As to Songbird vs. iTunes, if you don't like iTunes, use Songbird. Not a difficult decision.
Perhaps when songbird gets the full feature set of iTunes (can it even rip music yet?), it will increase in size.
Well, this update did not fix the extremely slow sync with the iPad. It still takes a LOT longer than to sync with the iPhone.
This AM I stopped my sync at 43 minutes. Before it never took more than 5 minutes. And this is on an intel iMac using 10.6.3, itunes 9.1.1 and iphone 3.1.3. This is unacceptable.

Anyone else have this, or a suggestion about how to fix it? I'm not impressed.

Since I updated, iTunes doesn't work. Or rather, it boots up, and then gets stuck 9/10ths of the way through "Updating iTunes Library".

Yes, I have the same problem. After updating to 9.1.1 I get the "Updating iTunes Library" and before it completes iTunes crashes.
