I updated it a few days ago but didn't spend any time with as I have not listened to any music , sync's anything etc.
Tonight I decided to break out Channel D and was going to sit down and just listen to some High Rez files. But I decided to dig into this new version of Itunes as it looks different.
At first I hated it and felt that Itunes was fine the way it was , it's been basically the same for many years with just some add ons here and there but now Apple decided to really give it a make over.
So far I'm digging the Play next feature. This is very cool for making a on the fly playlist without making a playlist. very cool. I also dig the See in store feature under any album you have , thats very cool. It would be even cooler if Itunes would sell High rez files. That would rock. Then I wouldn't have to use Channel D software to play them. I'd like the addition of Flac to so if you have to buy music from somewhere else due to itunes doesn't have it , then you can import your music with no conversion.
I'm sure none of these things will ever happen but it would be cool.

I had a couple hiccups, one of which my fault the other is Apple's fault and I've reported a couple bugs. Overall I like the changes and really like the new look and features and don't mind the things that got nixed.
The issue that I found and reported to Apple is that when you have the same album in two different genres it confuses the software and how it sorts the music. So I have a good bit of music in Hi Rez, and mostly those are album that I also have the redbook CDs ripped as well. I'll have al album in a genre like Rock or Jazz and have that same album in Hi Rez (I have a separate genre just for my Hi Rez files) and when I add both version of that album to iTunes with the same tags it gets confused. I've got a simple workaround, but it shouldn't be necessary.
Overall I'm happy, but do think that Apple needs to do a better job with QC on their software releases.
