Hello,
I was surprised about these "bad improvment's" on latest remote app ...
A lot of missing functions on theses upgrades as previously mentioned on the topic.
I was also not totally convinced by the new itunes 11 interface (http://bit.ly/V1tOHP)...
If i really liked some things in the look and feel of itunes11(airplay access button position...) some where missing as for the latest remote-apps (Cover-flow, DJ, etc.) ...
I decided to downgrade on itunes 10.3 (on PC-W7-64).😕
And Yep !!! 😮
If naturally coverflow and other goodies were back in itunes,
i was really surprised to see that the latest remote app recover it's usual functionality too !!!
(bye-bye the next song playlist, hello star rating and other 😎 ).
In few words, itunes downgrade also "downgrade" remote-app functionality ...
Maybe somebody on Mac-os could confirm it .
Maybe a further version of itunes would mix the goods improvements of itunes 11 and add theses cool function of previous version ^^
