Read everyone's gripes below.
I'll stick to 10.7 thank you very much.
No reason to update just because Apple tells you to.
They sometimes totally break a feature.

Gestures
Why does the iTunes 11 Store still not support gestures? I'm on a 2011 iMac using a Magic Mouse, and two-finger swipes do not work. I have to use my delete key or click on the back arrow to go back a page, whereas I can just swipe left with two fingers to go back a page on the Mac App Store, Safari, Chrome, etc. Is anybody else having this problem?
EDIT: After reading this Apple discussion topic, it looks like changing your mouse settings to "Swipe between pages: Swipe with one or two fingers" (two or three fingers on trackpad) solves the issue, and then you swipe with just one finger (two on trackpad) to navigate through the iTunes Store pages. I still prefer to keep my current settings (seeing as I don't want to accidentally swipe through pages with my one navigating finger), but that is a solution for those annoyed by the gesture issue.

Might be because it's in a compilation? Works for me.

Think I've found the reason why my search wasn't working. Search doesn't look at the Artist field, just the Album Artist field, which in my case was Various Artists and not Toto as it's a compilation. That's daft.
I know; it's fantastic! I have iTunes next to the Mac App Store on my dock, and the new iTunes logo makes the Mac App Store logo need an update.
You must have like five albums.
That's quite often because artists release slightly different albums in different locations. There may be the US version of an album in the store, and you may have ripped a European version, where one song is just different.
I can't help wondering.. how is coverflow convenient for you?
I found it completely and entirely useless. It is far faster to simply type in an artist name or song name to find what I'm looking for than to flip through a book on screen.
Your collection must either be very small, or you must have an unusual way of filing your music mentally that makes coverflow an easy way to find it...
This also fixed an issue where attached (but not synched) iPods/iPhones could not be searched. So when I go into work with my iPhone that I don't have synched with my work computer, I can search my music on my device again without scrolling through the list of music.
If you had just written in "Toto" and hit enter, your song would have shown up. It doesn't show up in the quick search on the right, but it does on the song list. When I did a search for "Dave Matthews Christmas" it blanked. It was showing albums of Dave Matthews as I typed that, but adding Christmas blanked it. When I hit enter, there was the song I wanted.
They made changes wholesale to the search script, forcing users to change metadata or the way we search.
Searching via home sharing is totally dead for music if item total over a certain amount, which Walt Mossberg refused to acknowledge.
Bug Fixed
Now mini player updates song and artist when listening to radio. perhaps the bug was/is there for local music.
if you didn't know the bug, when in mini view, it would not update to the current song and artist.
