iTunes 7.3 issues

Or revise anything about my Library, actually; playcounts, ratings, the works.The silence from Apple, as usual with these sorts of things, is deafening.Maxfixit.com, the venerable mac, um, fix-it site, along with folks on Apple’s discussion boards, has been recommending reverting to iTunes 7.2 (a sensible enough suggestion).They even provide a link — to a site called OldApps.com! Now, I don’t know thing one about this web site or its reputation — I haven’t even visited it — but installing Apple software that’s been downloaded from SomeRandomWebSite?
