Yes you can!


I'm currently trying to import the imporvements on the interface to itunes 10!

I personally like a lot of itunes 11, but I use artist vew exclusivally!

It just so happens that Itunes 11 artist view is the worst interface i've ever seen on a music player....like micosoft bad. Heck I think even WMP's artsit view beats this pile of fecal matter!


Anyway, I did this my self a few days ago!

Then this article came up for all of you other guys who want to go back... & theres alot of you!

  1. Rename "iTunes Library.itl" to some other name;
  2. Copy newst ITL file from the "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder into your main iTunes folder and rename it to "iTunes Library.itl";
  3. Download iTunes 10.7: http://appldnld.apple.com/iTunes10/041-7195.20120912.d3uzQ/iTunes10.7.dmg "this is a direct download link"
  4. Download/install shareware app called Pacifist;
  5. Open Pacifist and, separately, mount iTunes DMG file -- drag iTunes PKG file into Pacifist and install iTunes via the Pacifist application -- be sure to answer yes to replacing everything Pacifist asks about;
  6. Enjoy iTunes 10.7.


Cheers,


trane

Everytime I update itunes I have to spen an hour or so getting the interface to look like I want it. Apple please leave it alone or make the options easy. Old people are out here and discusted. I went to some apple products because they work together well but apple keeps fixing what works. If someone comes up with a MS product that is equal I will sell all apple products and go somewhere else.
