Existing users, 
pros:
the GUI is on par with the new mail app. it gets rid of the extra "frame" borders which adds more screen room, a big plus. very clean and uncluttered. new controls are welcomed. VBR AAC is a cool thing as well.
cons:
the "folderized" playlists feature is BACKWARDS! you should be able to put folders INSIDE of playlists, not the other way around. a large smart playlist should be able to be broken down and separated. all the new feature does is put a bunch of different playlists under a heading. not cool!

wouldn't you like to have let's say, a smart playlist of "Top Albums" and then be able to divide that playlist into your actual favorite album titles for your ipod organization instead of having just a list of songs? the feature in place now is handy but does nothing but organizes playlists under a heading or category. so much more could (and should) be done!Wednesday, September 07 2005 @ 03:25 PM PDT
VBR AAC = AACplus ??? - sjonke1
Is VBR AAC the same thing as "AACplus"? If so, does it support AACplus audio streams such as those from somafm.com? What about gapless playback - finally there? I guess I'll find out about gapless and AACplus streams, but do want somebody to tell me if AACplus is the same as VBR AAC.Wednesday, September 07 2005 @ 03:33 PM PDT

folders are a convenient way for people with a lot of playlists to organize them. instead of scrolling threw dozens, you can now divide them by genre or tempo or occasion or whatever you'd like.what you're suggesting would be the same idea within a playlist itself, which might be a good idea, but that doesn't make the new feature any less useful.
