EDIT- I'm having gapless playback issues with my iPod, and am sporadically experiencing the same audio errors that people have posted about elsewhere. Grrr....

I got Beatles album art through iTunes, all I did was rip my beatles collection and hit the 'get album art' button and it worked fine. not sure about radiohead though.

iTunes 7 sucks. I'm constantly being plagued with staticky sound after "upgrading" to it. Since that's the only component in the audio chain that changed, it's the culprit. It's bad enough that it physically hurts my ears. Apple needs to fix it, and fast.

I guess it turned out good that I was too lazy to upgrade yet. What kind of audio problems are they? Bad static, or garbling or something?

Also, I don't have an iPod (my sister does, and she has her own library), but I use iTunes to help label my songs. The ability to flip to the next song after editing the ID3 tags is so useful. And adding album art is a breeze. I don't use the music store, i just get the album art by scanning it, or getting it off amazon or somewhere else. Then I just drag and drop.

Question: Does this fancy new feature need album art from iTunes music store, or whatever art is already on the song?

If you're getting staticy, distorted playback seemingly at random, that's happening to me too. Phantasee, it comes and goes - I can play for hours without a problem. Sometimes it just fucks up.

I'd like to reiterate that noone with a Mac has complained to me. It's just the Windows version, and that shits me. Where's the damn patch already?

No, you don't need apple music, or even legal music. ANY MUSIC WILL WORK WITH ALL iTunes FEATURES, retards notwithstanding. Oh, and audiobooks.

reset the sound enhancer (Edit>>preferences>>playback) (switch on if off, off if on, then vice versa)
Fixed the problem for me.

Does it stop it happening, or just fix it when it does?

I haven't had it happen again, but I haven't played much through iTunes since I dled V7 so I dunno for sure.

I'll test then. Damn sound enhancer.

iTunes 7.0.1 released it seems. I'll be testing the shit out of that - but I'm surprised there hasn't been more done to placate the 'regular people' customers who use iTunes.
