The amount of news Media covering the entrance was unreal!

While I'm waiting a bit before I get an iPhone, I did want to get 7.3 installed. And when I did, my Cover Art began disappearing. After a bit of close inspection of the tracks where the Album Covers were no longer viewable, I found those that disappeared were definitely non-iTunes purchased tracks, which in my case were principally AIFF formatted tracks. Moreover, I could not re-paste Album Covers back into those same tracks. So 7.3 has a bug regarding Cover Art. (This issue has a thread at Apple Discussions under Mac iTunes. So other Mac-iTunes users are experiencing the same. I don't know if this is also true for the Windows 7.3.)

As an aside and since Cover Flow, for me, will be an important aesthetic to enjoying iTunes on an iPhone, I will not get an iPhone until 7.3 is sorted out. ...I don't want to hassle with my iTunes Cover Art and an iPhone through some software updates. So, I prefer to wait until this software bug is eliminated. (I hope Apple is aware of this bug, by now.)

I was able to revert back to iTunes 7.2 (from a backup) and all my Cover Art was reintroduced back into my Cover Flow viewing of the non-iTunes purchased tracks. So, 7.3 does not delete those Album covers, but for some reason will not show or allow paste. Once reversion back to 7.2 was completed, my iTunes Cover Flow was just as it had been prior to installing 7.3.

I'm now looking for 7.3.x.

It was completely insane - it was like the Academy Awards red carpet.
