Another question about gapless playback (you would think Apple would have a lengthy discussion of what this is and how it works for the confused).

I’m at work so I can’t try now but do you have to check that option for all the songs of an album to get gapless playback or is it automatic? iTunes did the ‘determining’ thing last night but no songs are gapless yet. Do I have to individually check the ones I want to be gapless?

Also, I refuse to update my 5th gen 60G iPod past 1.0 because of the ‘menu/backlighting’ fiasco. Will gapless playback stil work or does my iPod have to be 1.2, cause its not gonna be until that update includes a fat check?

YAY!

Nobody seems to have mentioned the new ‘album artist’ feature. At last all those bloody Common feat. Blah, Kanye West feat. Whoever, Morrissey and Siouxsie etc etc tracks can be counted as just one artist album rather than several! Excellent!!!!

The only issue so far is in the Summary tab for the iPod won’t let me update or restore my 5th Generation iPod, it keeps saying it needs to be be updated but I get, “iTunes could not connect the iPod software update server because you are not connected to the internet. Make sure your connection is active and try again”. My internet is active and Apple has no problem connecting me to their store to purchase but I can’t update my iPod to Version 1.2!!! Is anyone else having this issue?

Here what I found on apple website concerning gapless playback.

Gapless Playback on iPod
iPod does not support crossfade playback and only some iPod models support gapless playback. For those models that do, all files that support gapless playback are played gaplessly whether or not the “Part of a gapless album” option is checked.

Supported iPod models (make sure you have the latest iPod Software)
iPod nano (Second Generation)
Fifth Generation iPod
Fifth Generation iPod (Late 2006)

If you just bought an iPod before the new models, take it back and ask for a replacement… I’ve heard quite a few cases where this has worked (sometimes they charge a small % restocking fee).

I had no problem installing itunes 7 or updating by ipod. I am however having issues with the cover flow view on my itunes. All the album art has a black diagonal line through them. I tried everything with success. Anyone else have a similar problem?

I had that same problem with uploading the game to the ipod.

What you need to do is authorize itunes to work with your ipod. When you upgrade your ipod, it’s basically a new ipod, you have to authorize your computer to work with itunes again. Click “Store” and then underneath click “Authorize computer”.

After that you will be able to play sweet games!

I would just like to start off by saying that I like and respect you guys here. This place is so much more productive than Apple’s own forums. Most of the people on there just complain and ##### about the flaws of iTunes 7. Instead of just listing what doesn’t work correctly and what does, they whine because they cannot play WoW while using iTunes and they call it a resource hog. HELLO! iTunes stopped being a simple jukebox program ages ago. Yes, it is a resource hog, because of all the stuff it can do. If they want to complain that much about it, they should just download WinAmp instead and shut the hell up. Whereas, on here, you guys state what doesn’t work, what you’d like to work better and then you focus on the positive. I definitely respect that.
