So, can it play music video playlists yet? Anyone?

it gets rid of the fsckin lag on it. I know what scientists controlling the mars rover feel like.

also- can we have a screen sleep option for music playback?

Will I be able to pull up rented movies from Front row, or will I still have to start them in iTunes?
That's the one thing that FR is really missing in my eyes.

Spongy, hairy and warm to the touch?

@ Nick Fury

There's actually a couple of nice looking women on that team who aren't really that hairy at all. smile

FR is missing a lot in my eye. I would love full Itunes store integration, podcast viewer, etc. Ever since TV, they stopped caring about FR.

Does Front Row have a visualizer app?

It'd be great to use the iTunes visualizer via Front Row remote

Why does Front Row always have to lag one generation behind the AppleTV? Front Row as it is now is nearly useless. Can't buy music, can't browse the itunes store for podcasts, still has the old clunky menu system from AppleTV 1.0, and no Youtube.

Do they like it when you feel them up? grin

It's sort of annoying -- when you download an HD TV show, it also downloads the SD version. However, in Front Row, there's nothing that indicates which is which. I understand why Apple includes both versions (so that you can play it on an iPod or iPhone), but it seems like there's a better way of doing this than to show two separate files.

Front row does podcasts-audio or video-no lag here.

I only got the HD copy of 2 files I downloaded-not both.
Don't know what you did phillipblahblahblah.

To Jeremy:

Good point. And probably a few men that take the slick route too. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
