iTunes 11: Artist Grid View?

My screen is 14' from my eyes. The ability to see (enlarged) artwork, (remember that slider that made them bigger or smaller?) is so much better than having to read a bunch of text at a distance. How could you suggest people should be happier with your 5 minute work around when we had instant access to our music without a work around that still doesn't give us the old grid view?

Please bring it back ! We want to see the grid View again ! New iTunes is so unuseful and i can't add all my music cause it's very hard to find artists or album.I'd like to see Grid View in next version or i will return to previous. Thanks !

so i am guessing since it is past the middle of january the only way to get Grid View for artists is to go back to itunes 10.7?

I honestly would of never upgraded if I knew this version didn't have the Artist Grid view...

It made looking for albums SO much easier..

I can't make heads or tails out of this new Itunes. I used to be able to get multiple views of my music. Now I ma just stuck with this scroll down/ read through list that is cumbersome and so un-apple like. Steve Jobs must be rolling in his grave.

Apple please listen to the people and bring back the Artist grid view this new format is really annoying

A new update and no fix to artist grid view yet.... I dont know if it is me alone, but I'm growing exceedingly impatient with waiting for this fix. Anything new they've corrected has little to no impact on me. With my huge library, sorting and selecting through the files is beyond tedious and a highly frustrating experience.

I have written several requests to them for a fix hoping it would prompt some notice or change.

Can anyone offer an alternative to iTunes11? I have had it with this player and sincerely regret updating beyond 10.

My sentiments exactly. I was so excited for that sofware update -until I saw that it basically fixed nothing. I'm trying to hold out before I disrupt my entire system to get back to the iTunes 10, but I think it's in vain. I think the grid is gone forever and Apple doesn't care about how much we complain about it. After all, they've gotten quite good at telling us what we need and want...

I too want the Artist View back. My whole way of listening to music has actually been affected by this change... and I don't like it. I seem to get stuck at certain artists in the top section of my now 51 miles long Artists-scrollbar to the left...

Apple, please? pretty please?

I'm just another dissatisfied iTunes user saying: bring back iTunes artist grid view!

I think I'll have to revert to vesion 10.7 if this doesn't happen soon. Just as MMiceFF says, this new layout has affected my way of listening to my music library, which I really don't appreciate at all.

I've actually held out on updating iTunes for quite some time. Was happy and pleased with iTunes 10.x, and decided "What the hay? Let me update iTunes" and so I did. I was utterly disgusted by lack of artist grid view. Went back to iTunes 10.x, now I'm missing a handful of songs, and have to re-get album artwork for a lot of my alubms.

Thanks Apple! Really appericate it! <- total sarcasm Apple. You dummies ruined iTunes, and were probably too dumb to figure that my thanks and apperciation was just sarcasm.

I don't even know if Apple can/will see this or not, but if so... how about instead of asuming change is "good" by adding features/taking away vital features, such as artist grid view, you dummies ask US, the people, if we'd like changes or not to adding/taking away vital features/options! You once had something great, now it is just a complete, utter mess!

I agree. The best thing about iTunes was the option of the artist grid view. Was so easy and convenient to scroll down and recognise a piece of album artwork and locate a song instantly instead od having to look accross and read the name of the artist, the album and title to locate your song. Version 10.7 had this feature along with the Cover Flow view, I didn't use this view but think it should be made available along with the Artist grid view. The artist selection on the top of iTunes 11 is nothing compared to the artist grid list view! If you have an artist with one song it takes up a massive part of your screen and a big blank gap where other songs could be. Also, if you do not have artwork to some songs all you see is a very offputting white square with a faint music symbol inside which is not nice to look at. Gone through all options and this is closest we can get. Come on apple, give us the artist grid and cover flow views back!
