Great, it crashes on startup. I've tried EVERY combination of re-installing, uninstalling, cleaning up, and installing POSSIBLE, and it still crashes. Anyone know how to fix this?
But from what little I saw it has a great new interface.

I'm not having any problems here. The interface is really nice also.

I like the interface too. It looks great on my new iBook! Another Fantastic Apple Product

i don't care for the new service that runs in the background (bonjour) + itunes eats up too much resources. minus the nice gui, winamp with ipod support works fine for me. and get this, i can actually take music off my ipod (something that you can't do with itunes!). not knocking itunes or anyone, just a personal preference is all.

I agree thomas.  I have been reading about these services and I will try to write an article soon on how to disable these services.

When I click download after the page where you enter your email addy, it goes to a page with some kind of error on it, then back to the page where I type in my email addy. It goes on and on like a circle. Any ideas?

For those who can't run this, make sure you uninstall the old version and install the new one from scratch...
