What are the best new iTunes features
Here are the ones I really like.
1) WMA to AAC converting: I was able to increase my library on my iPod when this came out.
2) Radio music: If I hear something on the radio, I can go to iTunes and download it. AWESOME.
3) iTunes Essentials: I know this came out in a previous revision, but it's great.
4) My new favorite feature: This one is subtle, but now when you are playing a 30 sec clip frrom the store it continues to play even when I click over to my library to double check I don't already have the song. It is a small one, but i like it!

Hmmm lets see.
1. Wishlists. Now I have a nice way to stash favorite tracks.
2. The arrow links. Great for checking on if an Artist has hit the music store yet for songs I've ripped myself.
3. I too love the way the songs keep playing now when switching to the store.
4. I must admit. iMix is a great idea. I'm being introduced to lots of good music and unlike a "simple" messageboard filled with pedantic chatter I can get right to what's important. Music.
5. Label printing. Could it get any easier?
6. Free songs. Can't argue with that

But annoyingly, if your playing a song from your library, and you click on a 30sec clip in iTMS, your library song will STOP, instead of PAUSE. This is really annoying. To keep my place in a song, I have to remember to pause it before I click on a sound-clip from iTMS. I know iTMS is meant to be just like another playlist, but I just don't use it like that. What would be cool is if you had the option to just "interrupt" the currently playing song from your library -- click on an iTMS sound-clip, and when its finished playing, your library song starts up again automagically.
The songs remain until you clear them but they cannot be repurchased.

indeed, option+clicking it forwards you to that artist(or album) in your library
Which is a feature I've wanted ever since the music store dropped.

I like that too, but I would rather have the arrows take me to my library first and have option+click take me to the music store. I found the following to switch them at Macintouch:
"Just enter: defaults write com.apple.iTunes invertStoreLinks -bool YESinto Terminal and the link behavior flip-flops."
NOW it's a great feature.

BOOYAH!
thanks a bunch!
i really want it on my ipod. i know the ipod UI won't allow for moving around tracks within party shuffle or unchecking ones to play. but it would still ne great for long road trips
I can see why they wouldn't, but I wish you could download sleeve art for any songs/albums that don't have it.
