I had, just downloaded some music, and burned a CD. I noticed the Ping feature, but I do not recall being suggested to download a new version.
Since we are here, does anyone knows how to modify iTunes propensity to start with the name of the artist, twice, rather than giving the name of the artist and the title of the album. I can't see any way to change that, so that a beautiful album cover is marred by having a listing of songs from "Artist/Artist", rather than "Artist/Album title".

I am not exactly sure what you meant.

If you do not wish to show the album cover, you can click this:


If you wish to add another Artist, I guess you can right click on top of the column (e.g. right click on Name, Time, Artist, ... (at the top of column)), and you can enable "Album Artist"

Antony,
I will take a look. As I had said whenever I print an album cover I get the artist's name twice on top of the tracks list. The title of the album is not there. I do not want to add the name of another artist, only the album title, as well as the artist's name. Why do I get the artist's name twice, must be a bug.
