Does anyone have this loaded and working?  There has been so much distress noted on the web about trying to upgrade itunes i am almost afraid. I love my music system and hate to see it trashed because of a silly apple mistake. i installed QT 7.0.3 Pro as a separate package, and it’s very stable. itunes 6 comes bundled with QT, which I hope is smart enough to ignore during install over a 7.0.3 system.  Anyway, anyone try it yet on a tr/t or something like this?
thanks!

Okay, I crossed my fingers and toes and installed 6.1 on my system and here are the results:

* no disasters as of yet

* CDs burn (but they moved the menus around so don’t be alarmed, look under advanced for burn settings) but then they don’t play back.  The speaker skips through all the songs very fast and that’s it.  The CD is valid, I think, as it plays just fine in WMP and afdter restarting itunes all is well again. But it does not give me a warm fuzzy feeling about burning.

* a new file appears on the desktop after burning: _GEAREXT.WO_IDENT.TXT which has a bunch of information that i could care less about.  but there are feilds there that pertain to customer, ie. me I think. I am glad they are blank, but it looks like a way to track who is burning what.

* the much touted video features seem to be a bust; while downloaded itunes videos play fine, the preview feature does not seem to work yet.  Also, I can’t find a way to add my own video files to the library, so what good is that? just for the $1.99+ ones?

* miniplayer does not seem to be compatible with video playing.  no window, just audio.  that’s a joke for me, as 90% of the time that’s the mode i use.

* the interface has a darker skin and improved shading. nice, looks better now with my i-skin / windowblinds setup.  the progress bar is much improved as well.

all in all, worth the upgrade i suppose and not dangerous as i once thought. So go for it and post your results here!

I upgraded from 5.0 to 6.0 when I got my 5G Ipod.  I lost access to purchased audio, and I cannot purchase new music.

It tells me the machine is not authorized ... so I type in my password and let it try to authorize.

It chugs for a while and eventually comes back and says it was able to authorize this machine as 2 of my 5 allowed machines.  I click on OK, then immediately get an error ...

“We could not complete your Music Store request.  An unknown error occurred (-208).”

I have to call apple ... didn’t get any good info Googling it.

I hate DRM like this.

Open the song artwork viewer. The video will play in there (unless you want it full-sized, then click on the preview window for a pop-up). To add a video just drag it into the iTunes video window. It needs to be MPEG or QT, not WMA or AVI.
