They should've done something nicer to the icon for the new version, IMO. Maybe change the eighth notes to sixteenth notes or something. A simple hue shift just seems, well, tacky.

Steve started the keynote about standards, MP3 among them. They've made the decision that standards win over better technology -- for right now. I'm confident iTunes 3.1 (or 4) will support AAC encoding.
I like the new brushed metal look better than the old. It has more of that plastic look. If it was in a car, people would be pissed, but since this is a computer, it looks better than the "real" looking metal of iTunes 2.
The new brushed metal matches QT 6, iPhoto, etc. now. It's been "standardized" in Interface Builder.
There are a lot of nice little changes with iTunes 3, including using the Music folder in your OS X home folder, being able to transfer and organize yor stuff into the new arrangement, allowing you to organize your folder, or let iTunes do the work. It added a horizontal scrollbar to the main window too. And the visualizer is farking incredible now -- looks amazing and smooth as silk -- ah, it uses OpenGL now (there's a checkbox in the visuals' Options window). The preferences have been revised to use an Aqua toolbar, and they have a cleaner layout.

<strong>Has any one noticed that the brushed metal has changed its more subtle and nicer to look at</strong><hr></blockquote>
I definately noticed that it looks a lot better, but what exactly is different about it? I just can't quite figure it out.

I guess it's because it took so long to get the licensing worked out? But they released the QT6 preview
I mean, 8,000 songs in your pocket (MP4) sounds better than 4,000 sounds in your pocket.
I downloaded iTunes 3, restarted my computer and now all of my Mozilla bookmarks are gone!
WTF happened?

I haven't had any problems so far. I didn't restart my computer though.
