Ok, so I was the first on my block to download iTunes 7.

For the most part it looks like a pretty good update... better organized
lists, different views, and - of course - the movies. But what is up with
the new color scheme? Looks like muddied gray blue... not to my liking. Oh
well, it is also not a big deal.

It is odd, though, that even the scroll bars and other such things have
their own "look" to them - why not have it match what that OS does? Is it
to ease the coding for Windows and Mac?

Apple wants iTunes to look the same in Windows as it does in OS X, for
what crazy reason, I don't know. Personally I wish iTunes was
theme-aware on XP.

I guess Apple thinks that if its Media Player looks exactly like it
does on its shitty OS X desktop, Windows users will switch somehow.

iTunes may look good (it does, in fact) though I hate the way it
doesn't organize files in an hierarchal list -- as in
"Artist/Album/song.xxx", but it certainly works like *** in Windows
XP.

After playing a few tunes, all music played in it now sound like my
speakers are broken and blown. They aren't, I assure you. Even when
I play it using the iMac speakers rather than my external speakers, it
sounds just as bad..

I know it's iTunes 7, because they play just fine in Windows Media
Player 11 or in QuickTime 7.1.3, using either the built-in speakers,
or my external speakers.

Looks like Apple missed it big-time on its iTunes 7.x (Windows)
upgrade this time.

Too bad. I liked iTunes, and I miss my iTunes Music Videos (for which
I paid beau coup bucks).
