I have 7.0 running on my Mac. I've noticed a few differences - when refreshing the iPod the prog. tries to go through the complete song list to check which ones are already part of the data bank of titles/artists. So, if you've got some download or copied song it comments "this title is not included in.....", which gets tedious and needs disabling. It's none of Apple's business what I have or haven't got in iTunes - is this what Guest means about intellectual copyright being compromised?

Also, the prog can link you into the iTunes store when you don't want to be, so disable this one too.
