Apple iTunes - 6.0

With iTunes 6, you can now preview, buy, and download over 2,000 videos on the iTunes Music Store and sync your music and purchased videos with iPod to enjoy on the go. After purchasing music from the iTunes Music Store with iTunes 6, you will also need to upgrade your other computers that purchase music from the iTunes Music Store to iTunes 6.

Golfer, just wait it out. Alot of people are doing exactly what you are doing so you will just have to be patient.

After a new product announcement at Apple, like Robn said, there is a massive flow of people to the Apple site and Apple's servers. I couldn't even view the new iPod and iMac pages for most of the day until now.

Patience.

From what I've heard, these videos Apple is offering are extremely low-resolution, suitable for viewing only on the iPod's screen (unless you like miniscule video on your monitor)... can someone who has downloaded an episode confirm?

The videos are only 320x240. Have confirmed this on another forum.

Was told they look less than great scaled up, and that they default to playing in the "Album Artwork" window in iTunes.

i just received the iTunes update in my Software Update (along with Quicktime 7.0.3) in the U.S. So far along with the video playback some bug fixes are in QuickTime.

Is iTunes worth the upgrade from version 5.01, or is the only new stuff the video playback? If there are bugfixes in it, I might bother loading it. But I'm not really keen on getting that video function

I haven't heard any website or anyone mention the new beta Just For You feature in iTunes 6. It lists recommendations for you based on what you've bought. It's pretty cool, and is quite accurate. I just might buy some albums it showed "just for me"
