The iTunes Music Store is taunting me, telling me that it's unavailable in the UK right now. Yet it lets me preview music and browse around, and it makes me even more impatient! Does anyone know the latest on the European rollout of the service? I've heard "Spring 2004", "2004" and "late 2...

Hi all, first post from me. Anyway, I can't find a proper answer to the problem I'm having. The 'Join CD Tracks' option is always greyed out for me in iTunes 4 on OS X 10.2.6. I have certain CDs that are annoying when you get the gap between tracks and this looks like a decent so...

Has anyone other than me considered that MAYBE, just MAYBE, the reason MMJB is not being as receptive to upgrading their software with a new ipod plug in might have to due with the anouncement that itunes for Windows is in the works? Just a thought . . .

I'd like to find out what the relationship between frame rates in the iTunes visualizer. So, here's the question. What is your frame rate and what's your Mac model and processor speed? Use the visualizer with no cap on frame rates and full screen.
