itunes 11 multiple windows

I can hear that too. Go give Apple direct feedback at the link I posted above.

It beggars belief that Apple are this arrogant. Complete disdain for thier customers. Multiple windows is a must for anyone vaguely into their music. BUT NO. Even in the face of millions of views and comments worldwide APPLE NOT LISTENING. If there was an alternative i would definitely use it. Why don't we start a group to make a brilliant musc player/library for Macs which works. Forget a store or all that other rubbbish.....just a fantastic player. iTunes tries to do far too much, it's a mess, it's horrible, it's a joke, it's not fit for purpose, it's clunky........etc etc etc..........ANYONE LISTENING??????????????????

"ANYONE LISTENING"

To you?

No

I'm quite happy with 11 even though I was a delayed upgrader. Works fine for everything I do with it - music, TV Shows and music in conjunction with my two ATVs.

I've just given up. It's made my sideline DJ business a pain in the butt. What was once a joy is now a chore. Thanks Apple for making my life more difficult @ one time every update made it more simple. Oh well it couldn't last forever glad I got to enjoy the 30 years when it was good.

To view your library and edit a playlist at the same time, see this.

Have posted feedback many times to Apple about this clunker, and hope each small upgrade restores missing functionaity, but to no avail. Obviously, anyone who is serious about music and making playlists needs ability to open multiple windos, do searches that show up in a real window, not lame small pop up- I mean pop down window, that the minute you try to use it looses everything. Just look back at iTunes 10, 9, 8, 7, 6... to see what needs to be done to fix iTunes 11.

well it seems you are, but without much comprehension because your solution is useless for anyone who loves music and works with playlists a lot................so maybe you should stop listening and stop posting....

Its better than not viewing a playlist and the library at the same time.

If you don't want to do it then don't.

Perhaps it is you who should go away...

I have the exact same issue. Absurd that you can no longer open multiple windows to manage playlists. So annoying. What is Apple thinking? Or did they simply "forget" to keep this all too simple feature in the application?

This helps, it's a bit clunky. Still, need a separate window, especially now that Mavericks has the full screen, dual monitor issue 'fixed.'

The is a HUGE gaping hole in iTunes capabilities. I have abandoned iTunes for playing music and now use JRiver Media Center. It's faster and much more flexible and it sounds better.

I still agree that this is a cobbled up mess for people who work multiple playlists. Even working a single playlist is a pain now. The search tool is now an abomination. Huge wasted areas in the window, big icons, just terrible to use. I'm thinking seriously about building my own database.

I downgraded to 10.7 to get my multiple windows back.

Hey Apple Developer Team: How's it going? Good? That's great! If you ever get around to reading this thread, can you please let us all know when you add the multiple windows feature back a future version of iTunes?

Like others have said, when we edit lots of playlists, it's much better to have multiple windows open so we can drag and drop songs, like in previous versions (i.e. - iTunes 10.7). The way it is right now is giant clusterfudge of pain (technical term). Thanks for your attention and... Good luck - We're all counting on you.

This animated GIF pretty much sums up my thoughts about the developers that foisted iTunes v11 on us:
