I hope the 2.2 firmware does come out tommorrow. But how much will it cost for ipod touch owners? iTunes 8.0.2 is also out for PC users

I've been hoping for a snappy version of iTunes for quite some time. This is not it, but I've been wondering if Apple is going to clean up and speed up their bundled apps when Snow Leopard comes along. My iTunes practically needs a splash screen!

I just hope I don't have to pay another $10-$20. I'll run this update once Fusion finishes installing.

I'm hoping for iPhone 2.2. Also, when I sync'd to the new version of iTunes my backup for my iPhone 3G took all of 8 seconds.

Mac OS 10.5.6 with iPhone/iPod Touch 2.2 Software would be great. :D

As I know several people who use the VoiceOver feature on their Macs, I think it is sweet that Apple is improving functionality for this in iTunes.

Can anyone check to see if scroll-wheel volume adjustment in the MiniPlayer is active when the mouse is over any part of the player? iTunes 8.0 changed the behavior so that the it was just active over the volume slider... I'm waiting for them to change it back before upgrading. Thanks!

What issue are they talking about with creating MP3's on some computers?

I've never had a problem making MP3's on any of my computers. Are they now telling me that they would sound better if I had waited until this update to make my MP3's?

I hadn't had any complaints about the sound before. So, I'm not sure what they mean by quality issues.

Me too. iTunes is a pig. I have a large library (about 600 gigs), and the damn thing performs about as well as an old Ford Pinto.
