Multiple Windows in iTunes 11?

How can I open multiple iTunes windows using iTunes 11? Before updating, I was able to have multiple playlist windows open. So far, iT11 looks nice, but functions poorly.

I have iTunes version 12.0.1 for Mac and can view 2 playlists simultaneously.


1. Open iTunes

2. Select "Playlist" at the top so that all your playlists show on the left.

3. Select a playlist and then select "add to" or 2 finger click and select "edit" and the playlist will shift to the right of the screen.

4. At the top of the screen select "playlist" again

5. Select your 2nd playlist and start dragging tracks into or delete from the playlist you want to edit.


Hopefully this helps. Let me know.

Thanks for the solution to editing playlists, but what if I want to look at a reviews of different Apps while also looking at my own catalog of Apps? I can't do that with only one window. There is a reason multiple windows were developed decades ago. Indeed, we now not only have multiple windows but multiple (virtual) desktops. So why anyone would think it is helpful to force people to have only one iTunes window is beyond me. I do have a guess as to what they were thinking though. It seems more and more that to Apple the world is a tablet. Anything you can't do in iOS8 can't possibly be useful. So I fear we can expect multiple desktops (and indeed simultaneously open differing Apps on the desktop) to soon disappear in Mac OS X.
