Same here, most of my music is illegal but all I was required for Genius was to enter my iTunes account details and that's all.

As for your artwork, look for spelling mistakes and make sure you're signed in to your account.

@ To Sirius: That doesn't make any sense. Only like 30% (tops) of my music is purchased legally, but Genius works with all of my music.
Everything I've tried so far that wasn't purchased via the iTunes store or ripped from a CD hasn't worked.

There are no spelling mistakes and I am, in fact, signed in. It's probably only with Death Magnetic, because a friend of mine reported the same problem. It's no major problem, though, because I just looked up the album art myself and put it in place. :r

I've had to do that for like 30% of my library. Can't stand missing artwork. :P

This isn't necessarily just iTunes 8.0 but iTunes in general. I hate that you can only make certain songs ringtones. It's retarded :/

Yeah, it's seriously pathetic. I think I read somewhere there was a way to change a file's extension so it can be imported onto the iPhone without buying a ringtone.

I can use Audacity to cut my music, then convert it with iTunes and put it on a memory card (though I have Verizon, not an iPhone).

Similiar to what I do; drag it [w/o itunes] onto my memory card from my KRZR.

I can't use Genius because I don't have an apple account and you need a credit card to register...
Are you sure, because I didn't have to use a credit card. :unsure:

In regards to Tariq's comment; you can make ringtones using iTunes? Enlighten me please! :D

I registered without a credit card, it was a couple years ago though. I remember it was a pain in the ass, there's some sort of trick to it I think, you can't register with the normal method. I think I ended up having to give Apple a call.

easily, you just don't register through iTunes. I'm pretty sure you just log in with your apple ID. Make that at apple.com/apple.ca/apple.something

I think you can make a Apple ID from iTunes?

Anyways, ontopic, iTunes 8 is seriously pissing me off. I've encountered numerous graphical glitches, playback stutters when simply scrolling through a webpage (or even doing something else in iTunes), and it's noticeably slower than iTunes 7. I know Apple doesn't bother to polish the Windows version like the OSX one, but this is disgraceful.

I'm sure that the minor updates they put out will fix that, Myriad. Otherwise, get a Mac! =P

And yeah, you can make ringtones in iTunes only if you have an iPhone though.

I think my Genius hit his head on the way over from apple. Minus the Bear and Disarmonia Mundi, though great bands, aren't really in the same genre. I mean if my Genius is putting it together based on the fact that they use guitars and drums then I'd give him props.

Yeah, I'm having some trouble with Genius. When I decide to activate it on my iPhone, it's only certain songs that will work. For example, Kaiser Chiefs - Everyday I Love You Less And Less - is a popular song, but none of the other songs on the album set up Genius.
