OK folks, gather your collective breath and let the pros break their iPhones, lose their ringtones, and figure out the fixes needed.

It's kinda sad that my first reaction to a new Apple update is "Shoot, better avoid it until I'm sure I know what is does".

no no... how about they organize the artists in the correct way. its either A-Z then numbers or numbers then Z-A. its f'd up! im about to downgrade to 7.03 to get my itunes AND ipod (ipod now has this behavior also) back the way it was.

iTunes with better stability in Windows XP? Yes please! I'd use my Nano more often if iTunes didn't freeze like a tongue to a flagpole all the time. My Zune 30 maybe hated in these parts, but at least the software never gave me issues. (B-tch to install, yes. But never a problem since)

I want to see a radical overhaul of the UI on Windows -- Start using Windows Native Controls, for instance. Apps don't need to draw every pixel, especially when you have a plethora of marvelous tools like WPF at your disposal.

Still no "joining" for songs that you've already burned to mp3, eh? How can they not get this simple idea in there?

I want #-A-Z, like normal people do it.
Also, it'd be nice if I could have one song represented in multiple locations, but I'm not expecting that. End result is yes, I do have four or five copies of certain songs.

@kllngtme: i thought that's how 7.4 does it. I downgraded to 7.3 because i wanted numbers a-z, z-a numbers. and who knows how compilations are organized

That would be more of a lump of coal.

Hey now ... it's good to have releases that fix the "added value" features like iTunes plus upgrades. But I have to add ... make the conventions windows compatible. It just works better. And pulllease ... update that flat grey UI. It's so ... 90's.

actually funny cause if you make a playlist for each artist it doesnt use this behavior i was talking about. but who wants a playlist for each artist?

Isnt it obvius? iPhone in England & Germany comes november the 9 - Therefore, itunes update lets people activate onto O2 and T-MOBILE, as far as I know, you can only activate on AT&T with itunes 7.4 & below
