I think I might be the only person on HN who actually luv- luv- luvs iTunes, and I say this as someone who once wrote his own MP3 player interface out of extreme music-player-fussiness. The "kruft" ship sailed the minute I downloaded Firefox.
Nope, not the only one. I don’t use an iPod, or an iPhone, or an TV, but I think iTunes is wonderful as a PC music player. It beats the pants off everything that came before (remember all those music player apps whose selling point was that they had pretty, customizable “skins”?), and hasn’t really been challenged by anything since. For all the talk of bloat, the changes and additions over the last few years to the…
At the risk of this topic being hijacked by an iTunes-as-music-player debate, one cannot (with a straight face) compare iTunes on Windows to Winamp. I'll grant you that iTunes may be the bee's knees on OSX, but on Windows it is a dog.

> "awful time slider" awful? I think it's fairly clever, myself. ... you do know that when you touch to 'grab' the nubbin, you can slide your finger down the face of the device a bit, and then when you slide left or right it scrubs more slowly, based on how far down the device you slid?
Did not know that. Thanks for the tip.
I actually only recently learned about it.
Which makes me wonder if someone "stumbled" upon that, or there is a secret iPhone user's manual that only special people receive.
In hindsight, I think that a more "audio scrobber" motion, akin to the way the iPod wheel works, would have been a ton more intuitive.

They demoed it quite prominently onstage when they introduced it, and the screen says "Hi-Speed Scrubbing" when you start scrubbing (and changes as you move down). It's not the most discoverable feature ever, but it's not a hidden Easter egg.

See, I use "Genre" as a free-form tagging field, for metadata that has no other home. Therefore, they are unique per artist (for the most part) and serve no useful purpose in browsing. So I never want them in my browser; I can set this for the main library, but the values are not inherited. It's like the iTunes team looked at the Finder and said .... "hmmm".
That's what the Grouping field is for.
It'd be a misuse of wherever I put the info. The metadata I want to preserve about my music collection is a superset of the metadata that iTunes provides for.

#106Perhaps they're moving away from "Tunes"? It was a music player. Now it's a music, video, book, and app store and media center, as well as a connection hub for all of your accessory devices. I have a feeling that whatever they announce tomorrow will only be a proliferation of this trend. "iTunes" has got a ton of brand awareness, but we've seen them appropriately drop "Computer" from their company name and "Phone" fr…
They may do this, but it likely wouldn't be so soon after the iTunes icon change a few months ago- If they were going to drop the brand, they would have done so then.. Or at least not gone through the effort to rebrand.
However, the new icon is still a prominent music note. I would imagine they would require another icon change to signify that any iTunes name change isn't centered around music and audio.

#109"Tomorrow is just another day. That you'll never forget." Am I the only one that laughed out loud when the second line faded in? I have given Steve Jobs more money than I care to admit, but the hyperbole is bordering on self-parody.
And now, imagine it's David Caruso, with the sunglasses.

#110Since they've just released a new client, and people always eagerly scan the plist's looking for nuggets of information, I think it's safe to assume that it won't be anything client related (sorry, no WiFi syncing or cloud storage). So it's almost certainly Store related. It's interesting that Japan get a clock (no Australia, which is a bigger market). Just last week Japan got the ability to purchase & rent movies, a…
Actually they have found some references to something... not sure if it's related to tomorrow though. Time will tell!
