QuickTime 7.1.5 and iTunes 7.1 released

So fulllscreen coverflow is of course brilliant. After being frustrated by not having it in Front Row for too long. After playing with Remote Buddy ( 60 day free trial at http://www.iospirit.com/index.php?mode=view&obj_type=infogroup&obj_id=24&o_infogroup_objcode=infogroup-23&sid=3422945Gc45b2c1f6e87ec90 ) you can have a CoverFlow FrontRow-esque experiance. Takes some simple custom actions in the Mapping menu, but now you can change that music from across the room while making dinner.

A lot of Apple's updates are huge. It might really be a full-fledged version, it's probably simpler than making sure that the update is compatible with several previous revisions of iTunes.

Call me crazy (or not-tech-savvy-enough) but downloading a 36MB file is not an update, that's another version. Have all iTunes updates been a full re-download.

I'm going to pick up my Macbook Pro again in an hour or so, can't wait to install 7.1 and have *fullscreen* coverflow!
Although I'll probably have to wait 'till I'm home since I'm supposed to work here.. Or something... ;-)
Maybe I should just install it on this MacBook right now... Anyway, can't wait, thanks for the tip!

Oh, and Qin Zhi Lau: that option isn't new. ;)

Ever since I got Vista from its update, iTunes has crashed my computer. Today, I eagerly updated iTunes in hopes of stable performance. While I was going through the update process, the thing stops and BSODs! I love iTunes to death, and I would be running it on a mac if I could afford one. I just hate these incompatibility problems.

Does anyone out there have the same problem and/or know how to fix this, any help would be appreciated!

Cheers

Does this fix the problem where iTunes will take 10min to start up if the last speakers you used are airtunes speakers, because it is "connecting" to them?

There's a new sorting feature - Album by Year (at least, I didn't see it before.)

Ornage Shuffles are Orange!! Yay
But no frontRow coverflow love?

shame you cant change album when in full screen with the remote.

One of the previous iTunes/QuickTime updates "broke" iPod movie conversion, at least as far as I'm concerned. It used to be that right-clicking on a standard 640x480 movie and choosing 'Convert selection for iPod' resulted in a 320x240 movie and the filesize was cut roughly in half. Since I've got several seasons of The Simpsons (ripped from DVD) on my iPod, I need all the space I can get, and since I only watch them on the iPod, 320x240 was fine. (I keep the 640x480 versions on my computer to watch there.) But after this last update (not today's, but the previous one, I think) converted movies are now 640x480 and have the same filesize as the original. Does anyone know how to fix this, besides going back to an older version of QuickTime & iTunes?

I know I could re-rip the movies at a smaller size, or use a dozen other programs to do the conversion but I loved the simplicity of iTunes--drag in all my new rips, click 'Convert', and let it chug away overnight. Does anyone know how to fix this? iTunes' preferences have lots of settings for audio importing, but none for video that I could see.
