OK..
wait for it…
iTunes is defiinitely snappier!
genius is definitely geniusier
do i still have to sign up to itunes and give my credit card number to be able to use the genius feature???
onionhead, no, although it is the easiest way to get an account
I like snapping turtles.
so how do i get the genius feature without exposing my underpants?

Neck? And then do you boil them?
Or on the half shell?….
iTunes 8.0.1 is pure Genius! It’s also tunier!!
BTW… I’m not wearing underpants.
iPhone now gives error message when syncing
will go back to previous version for now
getting sync error also!!!
bummer!!! But I guess that is what happens when you are a beta tester! oh wait I am an end user not a beta tester.. (waves fist in air) Appppllllee!!!!
Underpants? Hell, I’m not even wearing pants right now!
Oh, yeah, it’s also snappier. I’ll let you figure out what I’m talking about.
Rebooted and reopened itunes, sync now works ok w iphone
I’m a genius and I feel snappy.
It’s Friday. Everything is snappier!
“And then do you boil them?”
I wait until they’re not looking.
(Oh yeah, I’m out there, Jerry. And I’m <u>loving</u> every minute of it!)
I couldn’t right click on any item on the Download section under iTunes 8. Also, couldn’t check off ‘Part of a compilation’ box for multiple song’s ‘Get Info’ window.
Both were available and very useful to me on 7.x.y
I was hoping someone at Apple QA would finally catch them and fix them on the next revision.
Until then, not snappy in my book.
Oh well…
Can’t shut my Mac down after numerous sleep sessions because iTunes won’t let it! I have to hold down the power button to shut down.
Will this update solve it?
Not happy Jan!
installed in a ‘snap’
Don’t you guys (and gals) ever get tired of cracking the same tired jokes again and again? Just asking.
@ Fergman –
Check your hard drive. Something is causing iTunes to hang – not enough RAM or HD issues with it’s directory – not being able to save the directory file beofre shutting down.
Check the HD with Disk Utility, FSCK , or Diskwarrior and make sure it is okay beofre trying to fix it.
Fixing software on a Bad drive or one with a bad directory will only make things worse.

Dear Apple Fans,
iTunes saved us from Microsoft. But Apple treated iTunes like garbage by removing popular options from its Preferences menu. And that’s what Apple is — the company of refuse. So bow down to Apple if you want. Bow to Apple. Bow to the Apple of slime, the Apple of filth, the Apple of putrescence. Boo! Boo! Rubbish! Filth! Slime! Muck! Boo! Boo!! Boo!!!
Sincerely Yours,
Ancient Booer
