Q: Will the new iTunes 11 still work for power users?

I've looked at the available screenshots, and I'm worried.

 

On the new iTunes page, Apple says, "Simplicity is a beautiful thing" — but I'm not so sure. I don't see any conventional list views, and I'm very worried that in simplifying it, they've sacrificed the control that so many music lovers like myself have come to rely on.

 

Here's Apple's info:

Anyone have additional insight?

    Brilliant, in 11 Apple has done with:

     

    1) iTunes DJ with voting and playlist support via Remote app. Up Next is sort of a replacement, but it doesn't come with the previous voting feature

    2) Text only library list, configurable columns for sorting, bulk edit -- essential for library maintenance and house keeping! => Gone. "Songs" is a faint reminiscence for the previous list view of the library. Search has become a nuisance as it will inevitably move you out of the "Songs" view. It will not display you album covers anymore. They've overlooked playlists where you still can simulate the text only library list plus the previous search function, but I can't help being afraid that Apple didn't change this yet because of lack of time. So for the time being creating a smartlist that contains all your songs eases the pain.

    3) Smartlists are still there
