Version: iTunes for Windows 7.0.1
"Would rate ZERO stars if possible."
Pros: It was pretty while it worked. If they could make it work flawlessly it'd be a great app.
But can they make it work? I'm starting to wonder.
Cons: Crash, crash, crash. Worked for about 1 week, then slowly started crashing bit by bit. Now I'm lucky if I even see the app's main screen....then CRASH.
Have disabled artwork and all those other things everyone says disable...and still...CRASH.
WISH I could have disabled that stupid checking for gapless playback, but they won't let you do that! I would stop it as soon as it started, but sometimes I just wasn't quick enough! I'm sure checking for gapless playback had something to do with iTunes' errors and it crippling my PC (oh yeah, by the way, when iTunes 7 crashes, it crashes the whole PC, not just the app.)
Made my iPod a paperweight, too. Thankfully I have another PC w/iTunes 6 on it, and could reload my songs from there.
However, I am unable to successfully reload 6 on the PC that had 7 on it. I can run it, but I cannot sync with it. I keep getting this dialog box about there being an iTuneshelper.exe Visual C++ runtime error...can't fix it after multiple tries of uninstall, clean reg, reboot, reinstall. Still get the same message.
What happens to people without another PC to reload their stuff. Their iPods are paperweights until Apple gets around to distributing a fix that actually FIXES the problems.
I'm used to weird errors (yep a windows person) but this one is one of the worst I've ever encountered - and it's apple software. I was really thinking how great it was to be able to rely on software being high-standard - until now.
Oh, and it's not great, either, that Videos (TV, etc.) won't play on iTunes before v7.0.
Smooth move, Apple.
