Waiting to see if it wipes out anyone's libraries or otherwise self-destructs before downloading. :D

I'm in Sweden though, and I doubt Swedish would require 100MB :-D

What I meant is that there are entire features, not language packs, that aren't available until all the legal work is done in other countries. I'd imagine thats why we are seeing varying download sizes.

On a side note, how are things in Sweden, things aren't great here in the USA....

This is going to be another one of those updates that will serve to make iTunes easier for the idiots to use and will remove important features that power users rely on similar to what was done with airport utility.

Of course you think it looks like crap. That was expected. :rolleyes:

Not necessarily, I was hoping that maybe we would see the beginnings of some Jony Ive influence on the graphics. One of the things I'm hoping to see with Eddie Cue is some consistency in graphics. The iTunes icon has seemed inconsistent with other icons since its last change.

Can't read

The WSJ didn't "predict" iTunes 11 today. Only the perverse game of telephone of blogs quoting blogs quoting blogs quoting the WSJ made that rumor go.

They said it could be out as soon as today. Because Apple said it would be out in November. So that's today or tomorrow, assuming they don't make another announcement like they did at the end of October. This was not a specific cited or sourced claim in the article.

First, no they don't feel its acceptable, thats why I guarantee that they have teams literally sleeping in the building trying to get it done.

People sleeping in-house for a media client that isn't released? Or having A-class issues? Highly unlikely.

If any of Apple's projects has in-house living requirements, it would be Maps over iTunes. itunes does have the "announcement date" sword of Damocles having over its head, but it's not a critical application to publish. Everything available to the public right now is accessible through 10.7. Issuing another delay announcement isn't a nice thing to do, but their PR machine can handle it.

It's not worth grinding good people into the ground over something that isn't tarnishing the public image.

Can new users please share their installation experiences, any issues to do with libraries being damaged or messed with?

does iTunes 11 Move any folders or file locations, particularly under 'itunes automatic organization' setting on??

I wish they'd go with this alternative.

The App Store icon is garbage too and deserves a swapping.

But THOSE look like poop. Just leave icon-choosing to Apple. They look fine to me. :apple:

Color icons are back in the sidebar! I really hated the grey ones. Overall, I like the way it looks. I haven't found any tools to help with the problems in Match yet. I was hoping that I could fix some of the screw-ups like where I have the clean version of an explicit song instead of the original, but so far, don't see anything like that.
