I was hoping this update would give my 27 inch iMac a Retina display and convert my HD into a SSD. No luck. When will Apple ever get one of these updates right?

I'm surprised so many people still use iTunes. I became fed up with it last year when I realized that Spotify could find and start playing my local music faster than iTunes, and then, not only that, it could even find and play songs that weren't on my machine faster than iTunes could for songs that were!


Spotify doesn't even come close to what iTunes offers in terms of library organization and flexible Metadata-based editing, sorting and presentation of your music files. Especially if your collection also contains a lot of classical music. Even though it's far from perfect, iTunes is still the best that's out there.

I like how this is news. As if it's more likely we'd open MacRumors than open iTunes and have it tell us to update....


My iTunes runs on an HTPC machine. I check it every couple of days, so yes, I found out about the update from MacRumors. Still, probably more of a sidebar article, given they never actually posted a story on the out of order tv seasons. Regardless, I'm glad they posted it. Not everyone constantly checks iTunes or Apple Software Update... :)

Please fix iTunes match!!!


This. It still buggy. Plus it won't sync the music videos that weren't bought on the iTunes store which sucks.

I did try it, and it had a weird problem where sometimes it would jump out of full screen mode. It was clunky working with playlists, as well.


The joys of open source... So much potential, utter chaos in practice, unless managed well that is. Most open source software I've used has been unreliable.

EDIT: VLC is not one of the worst though.
