madhias Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Has anyone tried it yet? Together with the new iPod Shuffle released. I`m at office now, at home i`ll try that pretty thing out if it`s working with my 8600 GT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technobob Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Just finished checking all the features and everything is working but like scottishduck said it's subpar I would not even use it if it was not for my iPod Touch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
or_astroman Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 On what standards are you judging it to be subpar? Audio quality? User interface? Stability? I'm not trying to start anything, I am genuinely curious because I haven't used much else besides iTunes on a mac. With that, and my usb DAC, my digital front end sounds better than many $1000 and up CD players I've heard. Are there better options out there?

Synaesthesia Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Just installed it and it runs but I still have the annoying jerky mouse issue Does anyone have a fix for this issue I tried looking for the fix but can't find it. Remove /System/Library/Extensions/AppleUpstreamUserClient.kext - Worked for me. I don't see what's subpar about iTunes. I also used to not like it, now I love it...only issue I can see is lack of support for .mpc and .ogg file formats. I had to convert a whole lot of music...But it's still got the best interface IMO.

MacUser2525 Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 http://jsp.vs19.net/osx/oggtunes.php Allows you to play oggs in iTunes Or the Xiph QT component works for this as well I have a rather large ogg collection they play fine with it only problem is no track numbers for the sorting of albums and if you use the Fluke to try to play .flac files it will crash it all the time best off going with .m4a for lossless XLD converts them rather quickly for this purpose. http://www.xiph.org/quicktime/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leoopardoo Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Works great here... however the color coding in capacity indicator for my apple TV is different and I have 2 blue colors for audio (maybe audio and music videos ???) ..hmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synaesthesia Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 iTunes 8.1 is much faster, as far as I can see. This is good because iTunes 8 was pretty damn slow. Operations like deleting music and adding album art are MUCH faster. About formats:I know about that .ogg file plugin for iTunes couldn't get it to work. Maybe it does now...Too late, I already converted my .ogg files. Of course .mpc will never be supported. .mpc (musepack) is actually a really great format, it just hasn't gained any foothold. Oh well. AAC is decent quality - good enough for me. These days my codec of choice is iTunes' VBR MP3's at high quality. It just has the best balance of Quality to compatiblity.

ameris_cyning Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I shall never abandon VLC. I do not have an iPod, nor any other Apple products. iTunes is just a waste of hard drive space for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madhias Posted March 16, 2009 Author Share Posted March 16, 2009 No change here with a 8600 GT, lag again exists. Fix it the old way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
