What are your thoughts on the New iTunes 11?

I for one am not very impressed! You lose cover flow, and the ability to resize your album art. Unlike previous versions where everything is not in just one area now your searching over the whole itunes for what you need to do. Its cluttered and instead of just editing one album your stuck at looking at all the other distractions instead of what your trying to edit. What are all of your thoughts on this new itunes?

Worst program Ever.


Now it is perfectly customized for brain-dead youngsters who will only listen to one genre (Rap probably).


But don't worry, other programs are catching up quickly. Like, in Preview you have sidebar on left but in Quick Look it is on the right. Almost any action you could do with one click, now requires two; if possible at all.


Due to forum rules, I cannot say who they are, but they are at work!

I want artwork back in list view. I want search to maintain view rather than switch to the view for what you searched (stay in list view even when searching for an artist rather than switching from list/song to artist view because I searched for an artist). I want column browser to return to a vertical orientation. I want the minimize bug fixed. I want the season artwork to change when I view TV shows by season. I want coverflow back (though I didn't use it often, there were occasions where this feature in full screen was just what I needed)!


I know, wah, wah, wah, but I seriously want my functionality returned to me!

Horrible. As far as I can tell, you can't even open multiple windows. So how do you keep listening to one play list while looking at the iTunes store and checking to see if what you "found" is something you already have, if you can only have one window open at a time? I agree with the comment that it seems to be designed for the braindead with limited interests. For those of us with large collections in multiple genres, Apple seems to want to show us the door. How do I go back to v10? The only good change I've noticed so far is that the "genius" line is not in the sidebar.

Cover Flow loss is disappointing, but I was also surprised with the change in the syncing choices that removed the checkboxes for adding / removing apps and replacing them with a box that says install or remove. No real way to easily see what is syncing and what isn't. Also, why bring back the colored sidebar icons after removing them from the system?

Hate it for lost proper DJ functionality and usability. Try deleting a song from the up next play list, try deleting 4 in a row halfway down the list... get used to the down arrow key. Wasn't like that in V10. Very poor beta testing is responsible. How could they miss so many things. Amature hour at Apple again?

I rolled back to V10 and will live with the can't authorise account error. Basically I won't be able to purchase songs from the itunes store. Whatever, I'm sure there is another way to get the music I WANT to buy.
