Anyone downloaded the update yet? I like the new white look, and the iTunes store seems much easier to use.

Yeah, in general it's just a bit more refined. did like the more matte finish of 8 though.

I much preferred the blackish/greyish matte look of the last itunes, and it looked better open alongside giantbomb ;) 
 
New icons and house share rocks though

I just out winamp and all i gotta say it... fuck itunes

It is a lot speedier too. I like it!

I haven't updated since iTunes 8.1, since that update wiped my entire library and I don't want that to happen again.

I'm not noticing much of a difference but it looks okay. Nothing spectacular but nothing bad.

It looks better.  Seems speedier too.

I *think* it is faster, which is definitely a good thing. Also, the Home Sharing feature is a godsend to me because I have been in need for a way to transfer my two libraries for awhile now. This seems like the way to do it. I am very happy with this update.

 After just getting a Macbook pro last week, the home share feature saved me a ton of time when it came to transferring over music.
