iTunes 11: Mini Player is really crap...(!)
I'm wondering.. really hard!
Who in the... thinks the new MiniPlayer is a step forward?
Yeah, it's now s**t loaded with all kind of features, but THE most important is now either missing, or hidden in a submenu:
VOLUME! Why do I need to dig into 'AirPlay' to SEE and act on the volume????
My ears have already taken damage!!!!!
I'm sorry, but this is SO BADLY missing in the UI (that is also but ugly!) that I don't know what to do..
I now need to take off my headphones or click menus before clicking play, in order to not hurt my ears or surprise people around me ... ****, it's bad..!
Song progress/timecode!!
What happened?? Why can't I see the progress of the music playing?? This is IMPORTANT!!!!! People use iTunes to be CREATIVE, and that involves keeping trace of where the track is in time!
Wow, I can see Album Art.. WOW!!! In a tiny, small, hard to see area.. USELESS!!!!
So now I need to have the huge(but, at least sizable) 'QuickTime Player/Artwork Player' window open as well.. fantastic...
So much for making changes, just for the changes... Maybe you should seed this kind of stuff to AppleSeed and get some real world feedback before releasing this half-backed stuff...!
PS: The new iTunes version is not selectable in the feedback form.. when do you learn to update the websites when you release software??
With all the billions in the bank, one should think it's possible to hire staff to maintain these things..
