iTunes, QuickTime Updates To Come By Macworld

Tuesday December 11, 2007 7:19 am PST by longofest
A source has tipped us off to a pending update to iTunes and QuickTime that may be arriving around Macworld.

QuickTime 7.4 will include mainly bug fixes and security patches and support for the new version of iTunes. However, the details of the new version of iTunes remains under wraps at this time.

It should be noted, however, that Apple often has to update iTunes to support extensive feature updates in existing products, or when supporting new products.

Thanks, iPhoneGuy

Argh! With the recently abandoned development of Quicksilver, I'm desperate for the new version of iTunes to work with it.

As long as its fast to start up, that is all I want from iTunes, and I hardly use QT. Although, it would be nice to have video playing in the dock again...

Wonder if it will push iTunes to version 8.

If it provided support for using iPhone/touch/something new to be used as a controller for airtunes or the ability to stream to said devices then I think going to 8 would be worthy.

That will be the fix for the Unpatched QuickTime Vulnerability Exploited problem.

I think it will support video rentals with an update to AppleTV with new AppleTV's being released too (remember Steve said in August there was an update to AppleTV coming soon on the software side - we have yet to see it - I think because of NBC and Movie Studio issues.)

Maybe one thing will be addressing the bug some people have ran across with 7.5 and leopard. CD's only playing 2-3 songs then freezing the whole app.

The Crossfader playback slider problem is a priority :p

I'm betting on movie rentals myself and will be happy to see it.
