iTunes 10. It lives

Have you been waiting all day for iTunes 10 to go live? It finally has. Although the download page remains a little spotty, this direct link seems to work fine for downloading. We're installing our version right now and will update with fun iTunes facts as we discover them.

Happy Pinging, everyone!

Update: Windows link to supplement the OS X one above. And an x64 link as well. (Thank you to everyone pitching in in the comments!)

Update: See our gallery of installation and setup screenshots.

p.s. Hey, we're on Ping! Come share our awful musical tastes (Erica Sadun, Steven Sande, Victor Agreda, Dave Caolo, etc)! And let us share yours!

Why would you keep your itunes library in windows on a mac?

I thought SJ said something about a streamlined, easier to navigate list view that would compress an album listing if you have more than 5 songs or so from the same album.

Do I have to turn that feature on because it doesn't seem to be working.

I have a jb'ed, unlocked iPhone 3G on 3.1.3. and I DO NOT want to upgrade to iOS 4 - can I still download iTunes 10?

You know, my use of iTunes is pretty minimal. I use it to manage a music and video library, install apps, yada yada. And I guess I must be one of those "yuppies with banal music tastes", since I purchase music from the iTunes store. (Sidebar...have yuppies existed since the late 80s? And if you want true "lossless" audio, wouldn't you be ripping your LPs? Unless you're a bat...256 is good enough).

I was really hoping for...all together...streaming content. Do we need someone else entering into the social networking fray? Not more than we need streaming media. I know, I know...Apple would lose sales on iPods with massive storage space. But when the 250Gb+ music and video library is becoming the norm, unless you're going to make a Tb drive with a touchscreen in hot pink, how about showing us minimalists a little love?

Finally...Ping. You know what? If I want to recommend music to people, I recommend music to them. Or buy it for them. I could care less if my friends and "followers" like my banal, yuppie-like musical whims. And the LAST thing I want to do is turn over personal information to one MORE social networking site. Luddite? No, not really. The streaming content thing would have been sort of cutting edge. Apple could have done it right. Instead, someone said, "We gotsta get us some of this social networking action befores it goes away!" This was a .X update. Definitely not deserving of a "10".

Exactly, if I want to recommend music to friends, I'll post a youtube video, like it on my last FM page, or post the download link from my emusic. to my facebook profile.

which people actually see and use.

unlike ping.

Call me a nitpicker, but it seems very un-Applelike to break consistency with UI design paradigms and align the close, minimize, and maximize buttons vertically...

So it can address more than 4 GBs of memory? Why? Having to use longer memory addresses seems like it would only slow down your experience (if anything), with no benefit. With the way iTunes works, I can't really see where it allocating more than 4GBs of memory would really be a good thing.

Isn't the iTunes GUI a precursor to what the next update to OS X will have?

It broke my morning Automator action, which sets iTunes volume, picks a wake up song and starts playing. luckily the phones have alarms too, because after installing iTunes 10 I woke up with a "wrong software version" message on my iMac.

New icon is meh, I won't change it back to the old logo but will most likely be replacing it. It just doesn't match any of the other Apple software in my dock, and comparatively is very low detail. Not low-res, but blow up the safari icon to 512x512 and you'll see what I'm talking about.

For anyone wondering, TuneUp does work with iTunes 10, I was afraid of it breaking but it still works the same. 166GB library is way faster than it was on 9.2.1, happy about that!

Logo looks like it belongs to a Windows app, greyscale is lame, Ping is useless unless you actually buy music from iTunes (7,000 songs and only 1 shows up on my Ping), keep getting random error messages. Always been a huge Mac fan but this is a FAIL. Would have preferred the ability to stream my library to other computers across the net then another redundant social network.
