don't let it automatically download QuickTime 7.3 because it will bork your iTunes. And then you'll get all ****ed off and end up having to uninstall quicktime and go back to QuickTime 7.2.

FYI.

The program itself or the music within iTunes?

A year or so ago, I had a problem with iTunes (presumably) slowly corrupting all of my music files and rendering them unplayable.

I've noticed a couple of my songs have been corrupted again since I last upgraded so maybe that's what happened last time.

no, it's a problem with the program, not with the music files. at least not as far as I can tell.

When you try to open itunes it won't and gives you an error message indicating that some of the required files are missing. which is a lie.

So 7.5 tries to download 7.3? I've learned with iTunes to wait a couple of weeks and monitor the itunes message boards. When they went to 7.0 it completely hosed me. I had to go through all kinds of gyrations to get back to 6.X. That's when I decided to let others be the guinea pigs.

But, I thought Apple was totally flawless in everything that they do?

Is this an attempt to defend Microsoft? Don't even go there.

That's exactly what it is.

I love my iPod, but I'll never ever buy another Apple computer.

To be more precise, QuickTime doesn't like windows.

To be even more precise, Windows doesn't like QuickTime. Or iTunes. Or any other non-Microsoft apps. Which is why Windows sucks.

Be that as it may, I still have to use it for the time being. So good tip PG, thanks. I'll wait to upgrade until they patch it.

Ding ding ding!

Lots of software works just fine with Windows.

I only use I-Tunes on one of the computers here at work to listen to Net radio. I did both updates the other day and have had no issues at all. XP-Pro OS on a Dell box.

Ran the full update this morning and it went smoothly. Everything's working great.
