iTunes 1.1 solves PB issues, has new visuals
updated 03:30 am EST, Thu February 22, 2001
Along with support for third-party drives, Apple's newly released iTunes 1.1 apparently brings a few fixes for Titanium PowerBook owners, according to one reader: "For all us TiBook owners, it fixes the widescreen issue for full screen visuals! Also, 10 user selectable presets for visuals, a few new modes and as best as I can tell, slightly higher frame rates on my TiPBG4/500. Other small updates for show title track, the shuffle seems to work now, and was that power saving option always there?"

iTunes Still half baked
Well, at least it did not crash when I went to install it this time, like 1.0 did.
There is still no (Apple) support for the Plextor 8/20 PX R-820T drives, although they do include support for other plextor drives.
I was able to get 1.0 Hacked and working with the fix that used the CD Master work around, but 1.1 kills and breaks that workaround for now.
Frame rates seem faster (Although no where near Soundjam) than 1.0 but more work needed here. (Yikes G4 400mhz)
Overall, it apears the changes are 'under the hood' and the addition of the 25+ drivers (Everyone else's drive but mine..)
Maybe if they feed the programer that Steve has chained up to his terminal and up his Jolt cola dosage, we can have this thing on par with Soundjam by MW New York Summer 2001.
Best part of the program still is the 1 window interface design (hey I like it) and the ease of playlist creation/minipulation (all of the typical demo stuff Steve does during Keynote time).
