iTunes 9.2.1 arrives in Software Update -- many fixes, new features

As the comments prove for apple, I'm appartenly in the minority that doesn't care about what kind of lame updates for the iphone/ipad itunes includes, but hopes that apple will actually make the music playing and organizing experience better, which frankly, they have pretty much made a footnote to the functions of itunes. Each update mentions something very small about the music features and everything else is iphone blah blah blah! APPLE! You haven't perfected itunes! You haven't created the perfect music listening software, please continue to care about its original and (and for an appartenly shrinking minority) main function! Or else someone make something half way decent (and yes i've seen most of the other things apple users can use) to replace it for people that are interested in actually organizing and listening to music!

Does anyone know if this update fixes the frustrating and new bug that effects adding multiple artwork to multiple songs at the same time? This is really destroying me as I hand add scans of all album art myself!

Thanks a lot for pointing towards the update. Sadly, it does not fix the sluggish behaviour under Windows. While all my Macs work fine with iTunes, it really is a drag when using it on a 4 Core 3.00 GHz Windows XP machine. Sometimes, iTunes get so slow, that scrolling is nearly impossible. The same observations can be made with Safari on PC, which gives me the impression, that Apple has a hard time with coding for Windows...

My iPhone 4 doesn't shuffle music without telling it to each time I use the iPod feature. It plays songs in alphabetical order. My 3 remembered that I wanted to shuffle music.

Am I missing something or is this a bug?

Are Steve Sande and Engadget's Darren Murph the same person? They both pulled the same boner attributing old 9.2 features to the new 9.2.1. And neither of them have fixed it up.

Am I the only one experiencing the genre label changing to a digit within a set of parentheses upon clicking on a song to play it?

hmm, my iphone4 got an ibooks update today as well to 1.1.1 (193)

Disabling old third-party plug-ins? What about Last.FM (audioscrobbler) or iscrobbler? Does one of them still work?

Yet another upgrade I'll hold out on until I hear word from the iPhone Dev Team about an iPhone 4
jailbreak.

Interesting how Apple comes out with iphone updates ... which delays any jaibreak from being released. Then a few weeks later Apple comes out with an iTunes update ... which again delays jailbreak software from releasing. Hmmmmm think I'm onto something here.

Guess that's a good idea from Apple's point of view. But as a person who uses jailbreak so I can actually decide who and what I want on my iphone, its VERY frustrating. So now I have to wait even longer for a jailbreak.

Almost makes we want to move to a FREE country!!!

I still don't understand the "Automatically sync new apps" checkbox. If it's unchecked, and I add new apps to my phone, the next time I sync, my apps get deleted. I sync 2 iPhones to the same computer/account and hoped this would prevent the installing of tons of apps on my two iPhones like what happened with mine and my wife's iPhone 3G S's. Hopefully this update fixes that problem.
