I thought quicktime 7.1.3 got installed with itunes 7.0? I'm sure it did on my install.

Ah forgot on PC it comes bundled usually. I'm on mac and got it through the update facility which lets you get them seperately.

:rolleyes:
Well I guess as a windows pc user I'm kind of a lower priority to Mr Jobs. As Mercilesskiller says, I'll look out for the patch. My music is all wma files anyway for my mp3 player, so not too much of a loss not using itunes that often.

Not had any problems with "stuttering" or anything audio.

But, I cannot seem to add artwork that is missing.

Found artwork on the net, but it will not appear in iTunes.

Have followed all the iTunes artwork procedure correctly.

Sorted !

My iTunes music folder was set to "READ ONLY"

Removed that setting and it works.

Easy when you know how.

How can you tell that he artwork was found but not added? Mine just seem to do something (status bar on top) for few seconds and then stop. Does this mean that no Artwork is available? or would iTunes be specific in telling you that no Artwork was found?

iTunes will automatically download all cover artwork it can find, but it does not always get it correct.

The status bar stops when it has finished downlaoding, and covers can be seen by selecting the view option in the top right of iTunes.

I have been adding the missing covers manually, after locating them on the net.

Thanks Gary but what do you meanby locating them on the net? Are you doing this through iTunes or just a normal internet search? Cheers

Google Images etc, I would guess.

Pity I can't use itunes to actually listen to anything. I'd go back to the 6.x version but can't be bothered. Will wait for a patch before I try itunes again.
