How can Apple possibly justify going up an entire version number just for this video junk?
There's *still* no FLAC, OGG, or WMA support. There's *still* no LAME ending option.
It seems all Apple cares about is their damned iTunes Store. How about some added functionality and stability for a change?
Do yourselves a favor and stick with version 4.9.
Apple iTunes
Jukebox, music store, listening library.
Version: 8.0.2
No justification for this

What's wrong with iTunes-LAME Encoder? - Selfinflicted Drama
Because that plug is somewhat dated an Apple should take a bit more responsebility seeing as iTunes killed every other player on the Mac OS due to the fact that iTunes is freeware and the only app compatible with the iPod and the other player were shareware and NOT compible with the iPod.RIP MacAmp and Audion...
I would gladly pay a shareware fee for a good player with build in LAME encoding and all the playback formats.. Playing FLAC filed in Toast is a pain, OGG has to be played in VLC wich is a pain and WMA cant be played at all on the mac...

"There's *still* no FLAC, OGG, or WMA support"GOOD! What does anyone on a Mac want with these anyway?! What we DON'T need is more codecs bloating up the market - mp3 and AAC are just fine thanks. And Windoze users have loads of tools to make WMA files.
Kudos to Apple precisely for NOT adding millions of spurious features and bloating the hell out of iTunes.

What's wrong with iTunes-LAME Encoder? - Catservant
I use iTunes-LAME Encoder and it works great. The only thing it doesn't do is combine tracks, but that can be done in two steps: encode in Apple Lossless to merge the tracks with no quality loss and then use iTunes-LAME Encoder to encode the merged file to MP3.Reply to This
