The new search feature is iTunes 11 is horrible

First off, there is no way to search on devices. I use this feature a lot since I have a laptop that doesn't have all my music. I usually connect my iPod and just click away, but there is no search on ipod.


Second, the search feature is horrible as it doesn't allow to filter directly in the library. The only option is to search and to be redirected to the library. This is a downgrade. A horrible one, and it is worse than Apple Maps.


Finally, iTunes 11 constantly hangs on my computer. Everytime I click to play a song it freezes for about 30 seconds. This never happened before on iTunes 10.

iPod touch, Windows 7

It still works, but not all changes are liked that much !


I first went back to the old interface (enable status bar. side bar etc etc) but now I'm over to the new interface and I find it (personal choice) a lot faster. However there are some quirks, like "Duplicates', "Cover Flow" but that is the problem with early adaptors. Better wait for .1 or even .2 versions of software.

the steps in the second post don't help if you are trying to search through your iPod and the 18,000 plus songs on it--and NO that isn't a typo. It's really sad to see what is becoming of Apple without Steve. This whole update is ridiculous and not having a full search feature for any devices plugged in is insanity. If you want to add, IMO, useless features and make the format different, fine. But don't TAKE AWAY FEATURES. Wonder how long they will torture us before the update arrives adding back the features they've removed?
