I've got the same problem. MiniPlayer only shows buttons not the song info for me.

EWWW! GLITCH! in iTUNES STORE!

It should show when you're not hovering, and the dark, call-out type dialog occurs when songs change.

It has all artists.

Where is the album art for each album, Sir?

It seems that the AirPlay icon and controls are only available in the mini player view.

Has anybody found a way to access AirPlay controls in the main view?

I have a Snow Leopard laptop and a Mountain Lion iMac. It appears on Snow Leopard in both views. In Mountain Lion it only appears in the Mini player. Appears to be a bug.

Damned, I want to see a list view of ALL my songs sorted by album/artist and showing album art as it is the case right now with 10.7.

Click to expand...

Click All Artists.

I think it's safe to say this release was a FAIL? There seems to be to many issues and bugs at this stage.

On the left.....

Solved it: Hit the tab key a few times till the "focus" changes and the info is shown.

Silly UI.

I get the pop-up song info when the song changes, yes. But there's no hover state for me. It's just buttons. Lots of buttons.

Yes, it is quite a classic, eh? Aged better than I thought it would.

Yeah, that's what I said above ... then the list is artist, album, songs, in a continuous scrolling list, just table formatted.

More like iTunes 1, what a dull lifeless downgrade, bring back Cover Flow!

Does it play 1080P movies now without the false warning of not running on a 1080P screen when in fact you are?

Ahh, brilliant! Thanks. Seems to go back to button-mode when you expand and shrink again. Rush job, Apple...

Also seeing this in the App Store on my iPhones. So it seems like some underlying problem with the "Store" infrastructure?

Click to expand...

Nope.. Only in iTunes 11 on 10.8.2... Never seen this on IOS, but the Search on the App Store is useless. Half the time it returns no results.

Soooo many annoying glitches in the store.

eg:

HUGE improvement. Was never a big fan of the old iTunes anyways. This is better by leaps and bounds! Nice job...

Went to the trouble of registering just for this one post

I have major OCD issues with my iTunes library - I have the Digital Booklet sorted first, followed by the Music Videos off the album, then the actual album. iTunes 11 apparently stuffs that up - the only way I've found to sort different media is to create Disc 1, Disc 2, Disc 3 etc and attribute it that way (good ol' sorting apparently doesn't do the trick anymore).

Otherwise, I'm yet to find fault - well, it's only been a few hours............

Hahaha, no doubt. The interesting thing about these types of threads, is you get to see what kind of music folks listen to (from the screen shots)

Initial impressions...LOVING iTunes 11. The new UI is a refreshing change and by using 11 the way I used 10.7, I haven't run into any bugs/glitches. Also really loving how it doesn't lag with large lists like it did in 10.7, everything scrolls smoothly!

EDIT: Disappointed that I can't have the black background in Movies/TV shows, don't like the white when the brightness is high...

Lots of glitches. I hope they add more filtering and sorting options in the music field like before.
