Newest Itunes version=POS

slow to load, can't shuffle the entire library like you were able to in previous versions, and freezes the computer constantly.

don't press the "INSTALL NOW" button when the inevitable update proposal pops up every time you open the program.

WTF? You can't shuffle the entire library? Thats retarded. Thats ALL I ever do. I guess I'll have to hold out before I install iTunes on my new computer.

The only reason I continue to use it is its the best way to sync my iPod.

Yea I know. Instead of the songs listed from top to bottom alphabetically like it was when it was good, it has this menu of album covers or artists (depending on which option you have selected, i.e. artists, albums, or even genre). At best it's aesthetically pleasing ('cept when you burned a CD there and don't have the album artwork and just get a blank picture with a music note embossed on it) but it works like crap and I hate it.

I can't believe you can't shuffle the entire library anymore. You could still do it when you click into an individual album or artist, THEN you get the list of songs.

thanks for the warning.

i'm sure there is some site offering the previous version if you need to switch back.

i just updated to the new one.

all you have to do is go to view > as list. it shows just like the old versions and you can shuffle your library.

I've never used iTunes... how is it overall? I recently downloaded some new music using Amazon.com's mp3 downloader. $0.99 per song and $8.99 per album... seemed to work pretty well.

That's the first music I've ever... ahem, *purchased* online...

i don't use the itunes store, i just use it as a music player because i like the interface.
