While it brings a reasonable set of new features, the focus of this release was on bug fixing and improving the overall stability. The new features are a complete overhaul of the iPod, iPad and iPhone support including solid support for device playlists; transcoding for iPod-like and USB Mass Storage devices; the Free Music Chart service is now activated by default; embedded cover support for Ogg and FLAC files; and album art support for tracks on the filesystem and USB Mass Storage devices."

I know it's fashionable to shit on iTunes, but i have a playlist with a 32656 song library playing right now, and it is using 1.6% of the CPU and 170 MB of ram. It's also serving this library to my wife's laptop in the living room, as she is listening to different songs.
iTunes is easily, bar none, the only worthwhile digital music player / library maintenance application that exists now. The only people who don't like it are the people who insist on using it like Winamp, ie throwing all their music into one huge folder.
