oh i thought this stuff would be more "automated" w/the new version... as in, you can set two default volumes and then chose where you want to import to, or something like that. oh well.

i just only before boughted new ipod. :-(. downside: out $50. upside: ipod software update gives me new features of new ones except for screen + battery life which i could care less about.

also, downside: new itunes graphite interface looks more like nextstep than ever. DAEREST APPLE GET ONE (1) AND ONLY ONE USER INTERFACE. AND NOT HTIS HUGLY ONE. This is worse than mail.app -- which i bet will be following suit (or maybe not, apple's gotten so bad at the uniformity thing).

also, downside: how do i shot old browser window instead of new pretty but useless coverflow?

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 01:59 (seventeen years ago) link

apple B for browser window.

is it my imagination or is this new version using ALOT more RAM even without fancy (rubbish) coverflow?

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 02:05 (seventeen years ago) link

why can it not properly dl cover arts?
sometimes you say 'get album art' and it tries and fails, then you do it again and it finds it. other times, it doesn't find it at all. what use is my album art browsing if it's a bunch of squares with eighth notes in them!??!?

― fellini-esque-lit-rockist (tehresa), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 02:09 (seventeen years ago) link

on a couple of mine the cover art is blank and it says "COVER ART CANNOT BE ALTERED" or something - not 'not found' or left as it was in the first place, but locked into a blank cover.

iTunes 7 is fugly, too. Also louder, I think (though it didn't change any of my settings) and slower. Why must Apple 'improvements' always suck?

― milo z (mlp), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 02:11 (seventeen years ago) link

yep, this is noticeably less reponsive than the last version.

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 02:13 (seventeen years ago) link

hopefully they'll be a tweak soon

Just buy a new Mac.

Still no way of dealing with smart playlist rules lists longer than the height of the screen.

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 05:22 (seventeen years ago) link

Just buy a cinema display

― Really cool, wickedly cool, cooly cool bon apetit! (ex machina), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 07:46 (seventeen years ago) link

One of the rule sets is longer even than my 23" cinema display at work (is there any way of going into portrait mode?)

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 07:48 (seventeen years ago) link

itunes does use a lot more memory, it uses about 100mb on my machine and i've only got 512 to start with

this is jobs' way of making me buy more ram isn't it? Cunty McCunt

*is smug*

― Euai Kapaui (tracerhand), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 08:55 (seventeen years ago) link

It takes ages to analyse for gapless playback here. That's sending memory high and speed slow. They dropped the sliding doors aperture too, dammit

― stet (stet), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 10:27 (seventeen years ago) link

i tried that cog thing but as soon as i tried to get it to recognise the mp3 collection i have it saw the sheer enormous size and spazzed out

incidentally that's the same reaction women have to my willy

― The Real DG (D to thee G), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 11:19 (seventeen years ago) link

sliding doors aperture?

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 11:28 (seventeen years ago) link

dudes what kinda crazy smart playlists youre making?

― jhoshea (scoopsnoodle), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 11:47 (seventeen years ago) link

sterling, the browse button is now at the bottom right of the itunes interface next to the eject button.

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 11:49 (seventeen years ago) link

My have one big smart playist for things that go onto my iPod and its easier to exclude artists and genres in a smart playlist. i have to fit 50GB into 30GB so that's a lot of winnowing.

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 11:51 (seventeen years ago) link

that sounds pretty crazy.

it looks like the new ipod firmware gives you everything the new ipods have except search, and people seem to expect that soon. on the other hand there seem to be some bugs with podcasts, so i'm holding off updating for now. i quite like the new ipod summary in itunes 7, although it's not really very useful.

― toby (tsg20), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 12:04 (seventeen years ago) link

oops the sliding doors aperture thingy on the burn button, I mean.

― stet (stet), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 12:12 (seventeen years ago) link

What apple ought to do w/iTunes is set a tag definable at the beginning of a ripping/uploading/dragging-and-dropping session (and defaults to null again once iTunes is closed) that remembers the name of the person doing it. Then Smart Playlists for multiple users' iPods would be EASY PEASY.

― TOMBOT (TOMBOT), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 12:29 (seventeen years ago) link

you guys should just drag stuff into yr ipods srsly

― jhoshea (scoopsnoodle), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 12:32 (seventeen years ago) link

that is somewhat tedious

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 12:35 (seventeen years ago) link

naw it's fun

― jhoshea (scoopsnoodle), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 12:36 (seventeen years ago) link

Can't you just use one of the star ratings for stuff you want on the ipod, ed? Mark them all one star or similar. Or tag them.

― stet (stet), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 12:48 (seventeen years ago) link

Then I'd have to tag things and change the tags every time I wanted to change the contents of the iPod, why not use the existing tags and create a ruleset around them?

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 12:53 (seventeen years ago) link

WTF i ran the "get album art" "feature" and it removed ALL OF THE EXISTING ALBUM ART ON MY MAC! for instance my album-art screensaver now tells me "you have no iTunes songs with album art"!!!!

Use multiple smart playlists chained together by using membership in some playlists as a criteria for others!

Well, it only did what you told it to do. Maybe you should have created a smart playlist with all itemss missing art in it.

I want a fuggin' scroll bar that's all.

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 13:17 (seventeen years ago) link

windows version of new itunes is a dog, if you have a massive 100GB library. unbearably slow and awful, what is it even doing when it's "determining gapless playback"? it's hanging on my talk talk albums for 10 minutes a track.

― kyle (akmonday), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 13:27 (seventeen years ago) link

haha massive 100GB library noob

― jhoshea (scoopsnoodle), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 13:34 (seventeen years ago) link

you mean like 98% of my mp3s?

― Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 13:36 (seventeen years ago) link

that sucks - sure it didn't just move them?

― jhoshea (scoopsnoodle), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 13:37 (seventeen years ago) link

actually, jon, i don't understand why iTunes should remove album art for songs already having it, or why it should not find any album art for any of the other songs? are you saying it's my fault because i wasn't aware that the function was not, uh, functional?

― Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 13:37 (seventeen years ago) link

also you have toned down obviously but you are still fucking smug

― Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 13:38 (seventeen years ago) link

Dude, suck it up, gapless shit runs ONCE. Go outside, 100G dude with a Celeron 400.

Amateurist, if I hand you a full cup of coffee and tell you to get me a fucking coffee, I want a new fucking coffee!!!!!

― Really cool, wickedly cool, cooly cool bon apetit! (ex machina), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 13:40 (seventeen years ago) link

yah i tried it (barely had any covers already, didn't notice if they were deleted) and it only found like %5 and froze about 3/4 of the way through.

― jhoshea (scoopsnoodle), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 13:40 (seventeen years ago) link

wizard is hungry for new coffee

― jhoshea (scoopsnoodle), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 13:41 (seventeen years ago) link

the way forward! By 2030 all elementary school students will be taught object-oriented filtering skills from the 2nd through 8th grade, when they may switch subjects to "readin' and writin'" or the more intensive "how to not get called a moron by god-emperor Jdubz" classes

― TOMBOT (TOMBOT), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 13:48 (seventeen years ago) link

I have an idea, why don't we build software that is intuitive instead of continually asking users to think more like C

― TOMBOT (TOMBOT), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 13:49 (seventeen years ago) link

windows, you're our only hope

― TOMBOT (TOMBOT), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 13:49 (seventeen years ago) link

how would you make a playlist of mp3's not containing cover art anyway? amst OTM, the fact the app. deleted his existing cover art makes it a shitty function not a stupid user.

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 13:50 (seventeen years ago) link

the way forward!

It reminds me more of chain based firewalls.

― Really cool, wickedly cool, cooly cool bon apetit! (ex machina), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 13:54 (seventeen years ago) link

Anyway, after stories of iTunes being "too helpful" in organizing people's music, I'd hope that we'd have thought before clicking by now. Hopefully Amateurist has taught us a valuable lesson.
