itunes 11 multiple windows

You are not alone. I am so distressed with the new iTunes I can barely use it. They made a huge mess of what was wonderful, effecient, fun to use. Cover Flo was the worse loss of all. Of course Apple uses Cover Flo in the Store and a bunch of other places on their websites. It's like Windows Sent a Mole to work at Apple to

create an inferior product. Well, they suceeded.

I no longer enjoy using my computer. I bought Apple because of iTunes in the first place.

My confidence in this company has been shattered.

No it doesn't.

Please. Everyone take a minute to provide Apple feedback on this at the link below. Apple doesn't monitor these discussions, so be nice and explain how important it is to restore this feature.

I found that when itunes is open (on a mac), go to view & show sidebar... simple as that :-)

Viewing the sidebar doesn't pull up a playlist, it only shows a list of the names of the playlists. In order to work multiple playlists, you need your library up in a window and the playlist(s) open in another window so you can quickly drag and drop from the library to the playlists. As it is now you have to either go back and forth between the library view and a playlist view, or you have to mouse on a song, select Add To Playlist, then select the playlist.....over and over and over ad nauseum. With separate playlist windows, in iTunes 10 you didn't even have to have the main library window open. If you had two playlist windows open, you could drag and drop between them.

People that have a lot of playlists, and large playlists, and worked their playlists often really lost a lot with iTunes 10.

I have written my feed back form and will continue to do so daily. Without multiple windows to make my playlists Itunes 11 is useless to me.

PLEASE FIX THIS!!!!!

I am writing feedback as well. Upgrading to this current format I regret every time I open iTunes.

I can't understand why they changed something that was working perfectly.

Absolutely ridiculous this tremendous step backwards.

Have complained this on the iTunes feedback page as well.

we Brazilians are not amused

I know. Alas Apple use to pride itself in being user friendly. The entire ethic for Apple was to provide

a computer who's applications would be user friendly and adaptable to the needs of the consumer.

iTunes is just another affront to this ethic. HUGE step backwards. I downloaded a CD yesterday and

although it indicated that it had downloaded the entire CD, it doesn't show up when I look for the album.

Really?

I want Cover Flo back too. The icons are so small you can't enjoy the album art or flip through the

categories. That was such an easier way for me to locate an album.

I'm so disappointed in Apple. I really hesitate to upgrade anything lately.

I too am very disappointed that this feature has been removed.. For best results, Please use the feedback option under iTunes..If everybody submitts a feed back, they may return it in an update

I to am unhappy with Apple with the latest updates they are doing with iTunes from having multiple windows, how the search functionality returns results, and the new pratically unusable views they have given us.

I believe that the changes are a product of designers sitting on a mature well developed product and don't have any direction on how to improve it. So they make it worst and then reintroduce the old system as new features after we get used to the new limited functionality.

To be honest, I'm pretty unhappy with Apple and how they have been producing software as of late. Their hardware is very good, but on the software side they are deviating from the tried and true methods they have had established the past 8 years + in the past year to year and a half.

The thought of replacing Apple as the primary components in my home network hasn't crossed my mind till the past year. The cost of the products and the quality I get have always been great. Lately the cost of the products versus quality have been slipping therefore leading me towards seeking out other solutions... 😟

Can you do OSX software updates with out updating itunes. I almost lost my mind until I got iTunes 10 reinstalled the last time I did that. Has Apple made any comment about this stiuation?

Yes. Hit the "show details" button, and don't check iTunes....check all the others you want to update.

It's painfully obvious to me that if Apple don't put the multiple window functionality back in iTunes then they obviously don't care what their user base wants. everyone missis this feature! With all the requests for this feature they must return it to iTunes! If you Google "iTunes S**k*s" you get more hits then I would like to see for any utility/app that I bother to keep on my PC. I had been considering buying an Apple PC but this is a serious concern, I will now have to wait and see how this turns out.
