iTunes 7 now available for download (Mac and Windows)

Well I'm perfectly happy with iTunes 1.0.

You sellout. I'm still using the proto-iTunes SoundJam MP 2.5.3, which syncs to my Rio 600 with 32MB of memory and actually sucks battery power while turned off at the same rate it does turned on. I don't need any newfangled AAC support.

One thing that I wish iTunes would do is elimiate duplication of music files between your PC and the iPod (the latest release of this program appears to be buggy as all get-out).

Currently iTunes will eliminate duplicates music files stored ON YOUR PC, but not those stored on the iPod.

For example, let's say I have Song #1 stored on both PC and iPod. It's in a playlist, which is also on both iPod & PC.

If I listen to Song #1 on the PC, iTunes places a "date last played" timestamp on it such that Song #1 on the PC now appears to be a different file from the Song #1 stored on the iPod.

If I then add Song #2 to the playlist and upload the playlist to the iPod, I end up with two copies of Song #1 and one of Song #2 on the iPod. Needlessly takes up space on the iPod.

What’s new in Apple’s iTunes 7

Tuesday, September 12, 2006 - 04:48 PM EDT

Apple today released iTunes 7 which includes many overall enhancements and new features, including:

Â• Play games on your iPod
The iTunes Store now offers games you can play on your iPod: If you have an iPod that can display video, you can purchase games for your iPod from the iTunes Store.

To purchase and play games on your iPod:
1.In iTunes, click iTunes Store.
2. In the store, click Games.
3. Browse for a game and click Buy Game.
4. Connect your iPod to your computer.

iTunes automatically loads games onto your iPod when you connect it. You can play the games only on your iPod (not on your computer).

Â• Watch box-office hit movies
Download movies from the iTunes Store.

Â• Back up your iTunes library
Use the new backup feature to protect your iTunes library. Easily back up new songs or videos, iTunes Store purchases, or your entire library to CD or DVD:
You can easily back up your iTunes library, playlists, and iTunes Store purchases for safekeeping. To reduce the number of discs needed for a backup, iTunes can perform incremental backups (only items added or changed since the last backup). To burn a DVD, your computer must have a SuperDrive. Some third-party DVD burners may also work.

To create backup CDs or DVDs:
1. Choose File > "Back Up to Disc" and then select your options.
2. Insert a blank disc (CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, or DVD-RW).
3. Click Back Up Now.

iTunes burns the number of items that fit on one disc, and then asks you to insert subsequent discs to continue burning the remaining files. Don't eject a disc while a backup is in progress. To restore backed-up files, insert a backup disc, choose File > "Back Up to Disc," and then click Restore. Spoken programs purchased from the Audible website are not backed up. Discs you create using the iTunes backup feature can be used only to restore; they can't be played in a CD or DVD player.

Â• Browse by album cover
Flip through your collection by album cover using Cover Flow. Many songs, albums, and videos include artwork that appears in the artwork viewer when the item is playing or selected. To display the artwork viewer, choose View > Show Artwork. To see the artwork in its own window, click the artwork.

You can also browse your iTunes library using Cover Flow:
1. Click the Cover Flow button (the rightmost View button).
2. To browse your collection, drag the scroll bar or use the arrow keys on your keyboard.
3. To play an item, double-click it when its name appears below the artwork.

Tip: To sort items by artist or album title, click a column heading.

Those were the days. When men were men. And even Steve Jobs had hair on his chest and ate real meat.

Great response to yet another echo.

It took a lawnmower engine with a power take-off to actually play a song.

You had a powered lawnmower? I had an old push mower .. no, no, I had to get on my hands and knees to cut each blade of grass individually with my teeth.

Go to iTunes>Preferences>Advanced>Burning and select the MP3 button for the burning format. You can select Audio CD, Data CD or MP3.

When I was a kid we were so poor we didn't have arms or legs. Dad used to have to strap us to the sheep to get to school.
