Exclamation iTunes 4.2 for Windows Bug List

Hi everyone,

I know we've all been busily installing iTunes 4.2. However, I wanted to know the bugs that everyone has discovered.

To start the ball rolling....


- If your taskbar is set to auto-hide, when iTunes is maximized, you are unable to access the taskbar without pressing the Windows key or Ctrl-Esc.

Angry CD AutoRun complaint at startup

Every time I start iTunes 4.2, it displays a warning dialog: "Your drive's AutoRun setting is turned off..."

I don't want to enable CD autoplay and I want to get rid of this dialog. Couldn't find anything in the settings to solve this. Any ideas?

The always on top Sidekick plug in no longer works.

I just found that you can toggle it on under visualize. But you then turn visualize off. I use both and don't want to toggle the switch ever time. Is there a way to have both active?

* Maxmize itunes (which now works). Now try to bring another window to the foreground using Windows taskbar. Can't be done. I think they call that a z-ordering issue.

* Soundcheck doesn't disable, even though I have turned it off

* Soundcheck competes for system resources with other functionality like retagging--expect it to only soundcheck in background, assuming its enabled in the first place (not necessarily a bug but a bad design decision)

* On the plus side, Nero encoded m4a audio now works! (gapless tag in mpeg4 container bug).

Anyone else getting the following behavior:

I start playing tracks and when I minimize itunes the songs start to skip or sound very scratchy. Maximizing or switching to "mini player" seems to work fine though.

edit: okay this problem seemed to go away when I rebooted

I know this has probably been touched on but I haven't been to the boards in awhile. I get a cd to be recognized in iTunes when it's inserted but when I eject it, the cd stays open in iTunes. It only clears if I close and reopen.

If I put another cd in (while the other one is still showing), it won't play unless I manually click on it from the My Computer screen.

Sorry if this has been discussed at length. Thanks for insight.

After some additional testing it does seem to work albeit with a definate lag. It seems pretty fussy about that.
