What will the keynote bring?

[ratioci nation]

mine is updating, taking forever, i dont remember how many tracks i have on there, somewhere around 27000
 
 it may almost be done, yay

I really dig this album cover view.
 
 It's nice to finally see the album covers for albums I may have "procured" and not necessarily purchased.

shit, it started something new, looks like it may actually be a while still

You can play music while the album art is downloading.  I'm pretty sure I cut off my Gapless Loss thing though.  Not entrirely sure how to do it again either...

Note to self:  Always check the forum before updating iTunes software.

I've got OS X 10.2.8 -- not paying to upgrade my system to look at CD covers.

Looks like the gapless play could be a real non starter as the iPod still doesn't support it. So what iTunes is doing is to create one large file for each album and then creating cue sheets to get the gapless playback on the iPod.  Seems kinda of brain dead as doesn't listening to large files on the iPod consume more battery?

[Got Haggis?]

dunno but i think that playing flash based games on the 5g ipods is pretty cool.

Is there a way to upgrade without dealing with the gapless play?

dunno... i rarely use iTunes

It really wasn't that bad.  I have about 14000 songs in iTunes and it took about an hour.

I like that it gets the artwork for you, but I still have quite a few albums it can't find cover art for....and these aren't obscure titles or anything.

i made the mistake of doing it with my ipod plugged in which seemed to confuse it, mine still isnt done

I just played a song while it was doing the gapless play thing and it halted it.
 
 You can force a resume art work, but I haven't figured out how to resume the gapless playback check (not even sure I want to, but it would be nice ot know).
