I've got it running on my Vista Beta 2 box and it appears a bit flaky, screen updates (if they occur) can be flickery and it won't talk to any of my iPods, which isn't ideal!

Upgraded to 7.0.1 today and it seems a bit better, will see if it talks to iPods when I next restart.

It doesn't really offer a huge amount extra if you just do music (although the Album Artist ID3 tag is great to have for compilations), so unless you need the newer TV/Movies/Games features I wouldn't bother for now as there is a lot of whinging going on about it.

Works just fine for me. But then im on a Mac, rather than a PC.

One thing 7.0 has over the previous versions is that you can exclude multiple tracks from shuffling in one move rather than having to do them one by one.

Works OK on my XP machine. Maybe it does not like beta O/S's!

Can it play Ogg Vorbis encoded media yet?

I think it's an improvement enough to warrant upgrading:

It handles artwork much better
It finally solves gapless playback
Tracks on a mixed cd can be ignored during shuffle
Podcasts can be handles intelligently (ie only the most recent show is synced to the pod)

Interesting.

Im now using the latest version, but only beacuse when I bought the Jet album of iStore, it wouldnt let me download the tunes till I was up to dat with iTUNES.

Seems ok, BUT, when we plug either of our pods in, it doesnt list the tunes on the pod as a playlist like it used to.

Any ideas how to resolve this ? I liked being able to check my 60gb was up to the same spec as my library, and the other half used to darg and drop to fill the mini.

TIA

Can't find my cable but I remember iTunes 7 has a little drop down and it'll list all the play lists on the device.

I use 7, no problems here

Hate to look like a numpty, but I can see it ??

Clicky for biggie.

That's how my iTunes set itself up be default, although I have told it to manually manage music/videos, not sure if this is the issue your having.

But the little arrow that pointing down (just under the D in Devices) if on yours it's point to the right click it and it'll point downwards and the list will appear.

I get that larrow thing, but when I click on it, it just disappears and nowt happens.

Do I need to redownload and try again ?

I'd try reinstalling yes. I'm guessing even leaving it for a few seconds or a minute doesn't give any results?

Told you I was a numpty !!!!


Found it !

The little arrow thing is on the other side..Doh!

Thanks Sarah.


BTW, I see you have some amateur transplants, have you heard London Underground ?
