I wouldnt go as far as to call it groundbreaking, but the search bar
is useful. Its equally useful to me when Im not entering any search
terms and just want to see all my videos listed in the library but
nothing else. So Ive gone to 'edit->show search bar' so that it is
always there. 

They actually confused me a bit by calling it the search bar, its more
like a filter bar.

Id guess you are happy to see the 'booklets' option in the search bar
too, as you were talking about pdf format via RSS enclosures a while back?

My biggest iTunes feature wish is a technical one, they need to change
the way its handling video playback. If I play a 'challenging' video
in itunes, eg a h264 at high resframerate, the playback is nowhere
near sa smooth as it is in quicktime7 player. Ive been experimenting
with some 50fps stuff, and it just isnt watchable in iTunes.

This isnt desperately urgent, as theres so few people doing high-res
video at the moment, but considering Apple's own attempts to promote
HD H264, its something they need to fix sometime. Hopefully its just
the method they use to render video to the graphics card that isnt
optimised for Tiger or something, so it wont be too hard to fix. But
if its down to whatever language/development system they wrote itunes
in, or the processor performance of macs in general, then oops. Ive
not tried the PC version of itunes to see how it behaves.

Are there any proper new features in itunes5 that havent been
discussed here yet? Im still underwhelmed, but then I usually am eh.
