Apple usually has new stuff in stock the day they announce it. (eta: come to think of it, some stores do and some don't. I'd say call ahead.) They should also have the 60GBs at a discount until they're gone.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
What kind of a discount? Substantial? I get 10% off for turning in my sadly broken iPod, so I'm already looking at about $300 for the 80GB.

Yay! I have gapless playback on my iPod! Something I've wanted since I bought the very first portable mp3 player.
Anyway, I had to upgrade to iTunes 7, and then install the latest iPod software (iTunes asked me as soon as I pluged the iPod in).
This is with my video iPod. Haven't tried the Nano yet.
Speaking of Nanos, the new ones have a backlight scrollwheel.
eta: The iPod passed the Dark Side of the Moon test perfectly.

Me too! It's going to take me a while to get used to the new format.

Our wings are not tired
iTunes is busy scanning 20,000 tracks right now. I'm curious to see how it deals with the artwork. Most of my stuff already has artwork attached, but there's some pretty obscure stuff in there that doesn't.

It just went through my whole library and didn't add any artwork that was missing. I am thinking it only does that when you import from a CD after you upgrade.
I too am totally thrilled about the gapless playback.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
I tried to software update my Mac last night and nothing popped up for iTunes 7. I hope they put it in the update queue soon.

That's odd. I ran software update around 9 PM and it offered me the iTunes update.
ETA: I was kinda pissed off at iTunes for most of the day today because the store was down and I couldn't download the album I'd preordered. My displeasure has faded away in light of the new iTunes.

ah, well, I ran it around 7PM my time, which was maybe 1PM est. So that's probably why.

That makes sense. I don't think I was able to get into the store at all until sometime in the afternoon, Pacific time.
