Thanks for answering, gamer.
I have downloaded it and I am using it. So far I only see incremental changes.
I have read 3 different threads on the current pricing including the one you referenced and I was still not quite sure that I got it right. It seems that there is no longer any upgrade price for v9 users and I will have to pay $40 for v10.
I have also read several of the changes lists, but I didn't notice big changes worthy of a major version change. I would like someone to highlight which big changes made this version qualify for the 9-10 bump.
SteveG has, as usual, done terrific things for the iPod, but I've only noticed one significant change for v10. When I sync it shows me the files that are really being sync'd instead of listed all 4000 files. I like that change very much, but I don't think it's worth $40 to me.
I feel like I'm missing the point of v10.
