Public Service Announcement: iTunes 4.9 + QT 7

When marketing trumps engineering on determining the release date of a product, Bad Things Happen. And when they decide to force users to install software they don’t want, users get mighty angry. Oh man, I’m having flashbacks about the enormous multinational hellhole I used to work for. (Actually, it wasn’t that bad. Just sometimes.)

Here are some links that’ll enable you to downgrade to iTunes 4.9 and run QT7 at the same time.

iTunes 5.0 problems? Download iTunes 4.9
iTunes 4.9 for Windows (The provied link in pcdoctor-guide.com says 4.9, but it’s really 4.7.)
Download the Standalone QuickTime Player (thanks, Centrax!)

Update: iTunes 4.9 can’t read some file or other that iTunes 5 writes. Have fun rebuilding your frikkin’ library…
