Apple Quietly Releases iTunes 4.8

trmptblwr writes "Apple has quietly released an iTunes update to version 4.8 for Mac OS X and Windows. Release notes say 'iTunes 4.8 includes new Music Store features and support for transferring contacts and calendars from your computer to your iPod (requires Mac OS X version 10.4 on your computer).' There also appears to be a some sort of new video functionality as you can now import QuickTime movies. I speculate that this has something to do with the 'new Music Store features.'"

WHY? no, seriously, why another format? AAC and MP3 work fine.

seriously, who uses Ogg why would they bother? Is there any financial benefit from it?

Also, if it supports ogg in itunes, then they would need to support it on the ipod which is not possible because of that wonderful floating point issue.

Uh, let me make this clearer for you, since you obviously are a little slow. missed the point completely.

Apple also makes a computer system, and it's called the Macintosh! It's really fancy, and they just released a new version of their OS, and they are trying to get into the corporate market!! Wow! Isn't that the roxx0rs?!?!?!1!

If Apple were to gain even more popular with the crowd that implements hardware in corporations, maybe they'd sell more hardware to them. They can start that goodwill with some simple mods in iTunes.

Rio Karma and Ipod arent the same device. Look at the linux ipod that pays OGG and you see how god awful the playback is.
