Alas, what a difference a week makes. The new iPod Touch support the Nike+

I've not been very pleased with the new iTunes 8. I haven't been plagued with the much reported BSODs on Vista. But I just can't get it to install properly. Incidentally, Apple has silently updated the Itunes 8 build now, so Vista users shouldn't have this problem.

The new album cover view in Tunes 8 is a direct rip off from the gorgeous album cover view in the current Zune software. I can't wait for version 3 to be released.

Also, I've been playing around with the iTunes 8 exe file. If you don't want the Mobile Me, or iPhone mobile support installed on your PC. I suggest you install Winrar, right click on the iTunes 8 exe file and extract the contents.

You should see the various MSI packages. Just install which components you want and prevent MobileMe from ever installing again....

Ah well, never mind Steve. Tell you what, I'll take the Touch off your hands, get it out of the way for you... ;-)

That sounds really cool, as a Zune user I can't wait for 3.0 to come out for reals.

I am always looking for new music and espcially new music that is similar to what I already have (in other words, I know what I like but I wish my music software did too...)

I always thought Zune could benefit from a Pandora style suggestion feature and thsi is a solid step in that direction.
