iTunes 7.5: Updated, but who cares?
(Credit: Apple, Inc.)Apple's omnipresent media player iTunes has quietly upgraded to version 7.5 for both Windows and Mac. There's no grand new interface, no code-scrubbing to make the Window version load quicker, and certainly no support for Linux users. There's not a lot to bother with, period, unless you're a Old World iPhone customer.
The biggest change is that iTunes now supports international iPhone activation, in preparation for the iPhone landing on European shores later this week. There's also support for a new music game called Phase, but that's just back-end mumbo-jumbo: running the game still requires buying it first. The iPhone tab in Preferences has been changed to Syncing, and lets users adjust synchronization settings for iPods as well as iPhones. Latest-generation iPod users get a battery meter in the nav next to the connected icon, and besides an assortment of bug-killing and security hole-fixing, th-th-that's all, folks.
word...Prozac.

- I dumped Itunes off my windows box. If they can't make this app load any faster, it's got to go. The bigger my music collection gets, the worse the lag gets. I just loaded winamp..and yep, it handles my ipod just fine, even letting me create smartlists...and it loads in 1 second!!!
