semente Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 I'd like to have a Switch Library button. It would also be nice if I could have an Add to App (HQ Player) or Open with App (HQ Player) option by selecting and right-clicking a few tracks.

lucretius Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 itunes should be updated to play other file formats, especially flac (including transferring betwwen computer and device) and maybe dsf, in the resolutions specified in the file. I don't know if iPhone/iPod touch/iPad are capable of resultions higher than 16/44.1 -- where this is the case, iTunes should still be made to play files with resultion higher than 16/44.1 without downconversion, when using an external DAC. When using the Onkyo HF player, it is a pain in the neck to transfer the high res files to the device. mQa is dead! Link to comment

foodfiend Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Now that the apps and other stuff have been carved out of iTunes, let's hope they focus more on the audio functions. The road to Hell is paved with good intentions... Link to comment

Dr Tone Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 1) Support external tagging. Some people just want to use iTunes to get music on to their devices and not be forced to manage their music with iTunes. ex) When I fix tags in my files, delete albums, rename album folders I want iTunes to be smart enough to pick up on it not force me to wipe and rescan. 2) The obvious one is support FLAC. Now I find it easier to just subscribe to Apple Music instead of put my own music on my iDevices. Financially this is a win for Apple and probably why they don't fix iTunes.

GregWormald Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 I had to backpedal to iTunes 12.6.2.20 because the new version couldn't keep my preferences regarding display straight. I also couldn't work out how to update my custom iPhone ringtones now that iTunes won't handle them. Maybe it'll be fixed later. Greg Link to comment

It turns out that Apple did not provide the touted flac support to the iPod Touch 6G or the iPad Mini 4. However, files can still be passed to the Onkyo HF Player app via iTunes 12.7 "File Sharing" tab. mQa is dead! Link to comment
