It'd be even better if it did this when searching my own files.

Coo, but does it work with everything? Will it search podcasts and tv shows, or only their music library?

Not sure I like that. I know it's useful in some senses, but doesn't the drop-down feel tacky and (dare I say it) "windows-like"?

OK, right, it does work in 7.4, so why the update to 7.4.1? Anything else going on, or is it just a security thing?

It only does it in the iTunes store as far as I can see, at least in 7.4.

Too bad they can't get Safari to do that w/o a 3rd party plugin! Not a big deal until Leopard.

Great, almost. It doesn't work for your library. Being able to rate albums is brilliant for me. But why can you only do it in Album View and not in Cover Flow? And how come they haven't updated Cover Flow in iTunes to work like it does on the iPhone and iPod Touch, where you click it and it flips to get a track listing...? If they did this you could stay in Cover Flow mode and it would be far more than simply a 'pretty' way to play music.
Seems it's been a while since iTunes had a proper update.

Last night I could navigate the store just fine, but I couldn't search for anything. Today the search auto completes. Nice!

This also works in the new WiFi Store, where it makes sense to save on keystrokes. I wonder if Apple made this to improve the WiFi Store first and then added it to iTunes.

@Billy (#8): 7.4.1 came out about a day after 7.4.1, because people had discovered a very simple workaround for getting user-created ringtones (ie. not from the iTunes Store) on the iPhone that involved changing the file extension. A lot of people don't like the idea of paying *again* for a song they already bought.

Why all hyperactivity with ringtones? How about some useful onboard Apps!

Looks like somebody took a page from Acquisition's book.. (whomever they took their page from, or if it's from their own book, I don't know.)
