Anyone else despise the new iTunes as much as I do? The things that bother me the most about it are that the filmstrip/cover flow view are now gone, the little album artwork viewer that used to be on the left sidebar beneath your playlists is gone, and I absolutely cannot get rid of that effing iCloud Download column in the track lists (no matter how many times I uncheck it, it always comes back after a while). Has anyone found any ways to get around any of these problems?

 

I quite like the it...although the ICloud was very annoying as it put all of mums music onto my ITunes :| Just deleted it all though and now I'm fine  

 

i couldnt figure out how to use cloudreader after so i downgrade back to previous version

 

How? I've been wanting to do that.

 

Refuse to update because of it. I know I'll have to sooner or later, but I pick later.

 

Doesn't bother me at all.

 

I don't use iTunes on the computer. I used it on my iPhone and iPad.

 

I hate every single apple device exept for the computers and mp3 players.

 

I've got no problem with the new iTunes.

 

Google the previous one and reinstall

 

Ugh, just got home for christmas and the family computer has the new iTunes. It's not that bad, but I reallllly wish they'd kept the cover flow, or at least the picture of the album at the bottom, that's going to bug me.
Also it's incredibly bland looking

EDIT: The new grid view is kind of nice though, although I never used grid view so I have no idea if it's actually different
EDIT: Ok, it took me bloody ages to find out how to search for stuff, why couldn't they just leave the power search in?

 

I dislike the new itunes. I agree with WTDylio on wanting coverflow back.

 

I really enjoy the new iTunes. It's very clean and fluid, and because of the removal of some of the features (that I didn't use), it makes it run much faster on my Windows XP computer.

 

I miss the album viewer and the space available number when syncing. I like to try to fit every little bit in.

 

The new Itune 11.0.0 took some time to get used to but I kind of like it. I am just not happy with how fast the update is already here. Can they stop updating this effing thing every few weeks?

EDIT: Great, for the second time in 3 weeks I have to DL ITune from scratch after the update keeps failing. I am not going to update the next patch for at least a month after it's out. This is so effing ridiculous.

 

New update is out for this...

 

Shit, I had forgotten I downloaded this, but I never started it up until now. Yeah it's faster but it's less user friendly that's for damn sure. Everything I needed was right there, especially when I needed to fiddle with the album's options. Is there a way to expand the info for separate songs? Like when I need to create an AAC version, how do I tell what size the song is without having to click on every individual song?

EDIT: Okay, was able to add in the sidebar and status bars, but I need a more practical interface when viewing an individual album, not just a list of songs.

EDIT 2: Okay, I have to use the songs view, then open the column browser and add what I need. From there I can edit the songs and see clearly everything about said songs without having to click on every single one. Annoying but manageable. How exactly is this simplified?

 

+1 to the "This update suckz" club.

 

I always hated iTunes. Winamp is much better. And it leaves my music collection alone.

 

After several days of frustration trying to install the 11.0.1 update, I finally gave up and reinstall the 11.0.0 iTune instead and this time it works. Given this lesson I am not going to update my iTune for a very long time.
