iTunes 8.0.2
Last Friday, Apple released iTunes 8.0.2 and let me tell you how happy I am! With the previous version of iTunes on my MacBook, I had to suffer through what felt like an eternity of spinning beach ball of death every time I opened iTunes. At first, I thought it was because I had moved my music collection to a network drive, but after speaking to Zameer and googling, I soon realized that I wasn’t the only one experiencing this pain.
After the update, iTunes loads instantly and is ready to perform any command I tell it. It is also much faster when scrolling my (medium sized => ~2000 songs, 14GB) music collection, switching tasks, downloading podcasts, etc…
If you are experiencing any slow downs in iTunes, you would probably benefit a great deal by updating.

I’m still suspicious.. my experience with itunes 8.0 was terrible - I was lucky I still had a copy of itunes 7.x that I could revert to.
When all the “new” features (ahem Genius wtf) that are being added, it’s starting to feel as to itunes is slowly turning into Winamp 3.0 –> remember that uglyness when it first came out…
