    But that's ticked by default and always has been… He can't possibly be complaining about not having a feature that iTunes has had for an entire decade by bringing up decade-old software.

    Yes, just pointing out that an update like this is meaningless when they still haven't fixed the real problems in later updates.

    Yes, it did. Yes, you did.

    Sounds like an iMedia product waiting to happen...

    Please. iTunes is NOT bloated. It takes up barely any space on my HD and typically uses just 10% of my CPU when running. It's lean and responsive in it's operation. Not bloated.



    Do you mean bloated as in features? I'm constantly hearing how iTunes is worthless for missing some such feature or other. If Apple included all the features people wanted, it may get bloated.



    Do you mean bloated as in it controls many different media types (audio, photos, video, radio, playlists, books, PDF's, etc)? Personally I like that so much of my media is centrally located and managed without having to open numerous apps. Having it all in one place aslo makes keeping iDevices synched much simpler than if we had to open five different apps to accomplish the same thing.



    So yea, iTunes handles many different kinds of media but it does it fairly simply while keeping a small footprint on your Mac.

    All right. Think what you will. I'm personally still waiting for a complete rewrite from the ground up. Maybe in iTunes 11.

    This may be true on a Mac but in Windows the iTunes program is a POS. It is nice to have a single application that controls the different media and applications going onto an iOS device, but is NOT responsive.

    OK, I just checked the size of iTunes on an HP Windows machine and it's a whopping 126MB. That's the entire iTunes folder in C:/Program Files/iTunes. Seems rather small to me.



    I use iTunes daily on a Windows machine (Intel Core2 Duo 2.33GHz with 2GB RAM running Windows XP) and the only significant difference I've experienced in it's performance compared to my Mac is that it's quite a bit slower to open. Changing songs, searching, changing views, watching video, are all speedy and comparable to my Mac.



    Maybe you need more RAM to accommodate a larger iTunes library?

    I am still having issues copying music onto my iTunes. The music copied turns grey on the list but then it stalls. I have to at least copy one of the songs of the batch again to make it register, then it copies the batch. Really



    My iTunes library is on a firewire 800 drive.
