Apple announced the release of iTunes 7 today. I installed it on a Windows XP Pro virtual machine to see what all the fuss was about and it looks pretty spiffy at first glance. I then clicked on the “movies” link in the iTunes store and the whole app crashed.
Apparently we need to wait for the next release to get VM stability…

Itunes 7.02 crashes on plain ‘ol Windows XP Professional with SP2 if you’re using a USB 2.0 port. Seems to work fine on a USB 1.x port, though. I can’t get it even respond if I try it on a Virtual Machine. I’m using VMWare Server 1.01 Build 29996 on a Redhat Linux Fedora 5 Host.

itunes 7.02 crashes on my XP home SP2 machine. Seems random – i found this link a while back talking about deleting the My Documents\My Music\iTunes folder, which seems sort of silly as that’s where all my music files are stored (link here: http://www.msfn.org/board/lofiversion/index.php/t50652.html scroll down to bottom post as of today).
Any information from anyone on a fix to this would be useful. The error message is always the generic “Windows has encountered a problem and needs to…” You know that one.
Thanks,

I noticed it seems to be tied somewhat to the video card and the album “switching” feature they added…

I recently installed iTunes 7.1.5 and it won’t even open. I tried downgrading to 6 but it wouldn’t let me. So I decided to move the My Documents iTunes folder into a new folder, making it seem to iTunes that the directory was deleted and holy crap, it works!
