Default Is it possible to run iTunes 6.0.4 and 7.0.2 side-by-side? - 01-12-2007

I'm on an Intel MacBook (original line) running completely up-to-date according to Software Update.

I updated to iTunes 7 a long time ago, and I still dislike the interface. Besides that, recently discovering that the Radio listing is missing several of my favourite stations unsettled me further. I realise that changing iTunes versions won't fix the latter issue, as iTunes contacts an online databade for its radio stream links, but I don't care. I just like the old version better.

iTunes 7 is ugly, to boot (in comparison to 6).

I don't want to uninstall 7, but I want both versions side-by-side. Does anyone know how to do this? If iTunes installed the way most apps do (drag-and-drop into a folder from a .dmg), there would be no issue: I just keep them in separate folders. Since iTunes installes from a .mpkg, I get the feeling it'll try to overwrite important iTunes 7 files. I want to keep 6 installed...separately from 7, while being able to freely update 7 when Apple wants me to...

I would be very grateful if anyone can help, even if that help is only to inform me that I am forever doomed to conform to Apple's new society-shaping methods. (Don't get me wrong, I love Apple...but this wouldn't even be a legitimate issue on Windows. I could VERY easily do this on Windows. One must switch out ease-of-use with ease-of-hack, right?)

P.S. - Thank you OldApps.com for just existing. Brilliant idea. There aren't enough places like this on the web.

Hey Dash,

I appreciate your appreciation of OldApps.com. I hope you will enjoy your stay on the site.

I have personally tried to do what you are trying to explain here and I couldn't run both versions at the same time. Since iTunes is not a portable app it's hard to run both versions side by side at the same time but hey if someone does it I'll be sure to post it here.


Regards,
Chirag

Lightbulb Re: Is it possible to run iTunes 6.0.4 and 7.0.2 side-by-side? - 01-30-2007

Hi my problem is a little different but utilizes two different versions of iTunes as well.
I currently own two Powerbook G3s 400Mhz laptops. On one laptop I have iTunes 7.0.2. and on the other laptop, I discovered that I have iTunes 4. Both laptops have the same OS 10.3.9 running.

What I want to know is, is there any way that I can connect the two laptops via bluetooth or some other sync to copy the music from iTunes 7 to iTunes 4 and then use the jhymn software to create MP3s. Would this work with iSync and if so what cables would I need to connect the to laptops?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks much.

One way to do this is by running a small software called ourtunes http://ourtunes.sourceforge.net/

Try to read the page contents, it should be able to help you out
