Apple Releases iTunes 11 with Simplified Player, Redesigned Store, and More

Looks very nice, but scrolling and animations do seem a little laggy on my 2012 MBA! Not too bad.

No list view though?

Just called in and checked with Apple, and the confirmed that it's not that serious.

Already like it better!

Sounds good. Apple likes 10am Pacific time for some reason.

Yes! Very excited for this!

OMFG... Installing 10.7 back This ***** is simple as the iPad version

I think the real question is, how does it run on Windows now? Lol

Lets you stream now from the cloud without downloading.... Flipping awesome

I want to know why my podcast that i have on my app on my phone are not syced with itunes 11. Thought they were going to have better icloud integration!!!!!!

Amazes me people are so trigger happy in upgrading to such a substantial update / overhaul. Think I'll hold off for a few days to see if there are any issues.

Meh - I only upgraded because I dont use iTunes - it's a pile of crap when compared to the likes of Spotify.

Hopefully this makes Safari snappier as well. New icon looks nice!!

I think I have to rearrange my Dock so that I won't accidentally open the Mac App Store all the time.

Have your iphone and the new installation of itunes even talked to each other yet?

I that only for purchased movies/tv shows? Or ones we uploaded too?

Looks like multiple airplay streams

Looks like they have added multiple airplay streams and the ability to play both from the mac and the speakers at the same time.

So how can I listen to a song on my iPhone and pause it and have it transferred over to iTunes 11

Surprisingly small file: 200mb. I hope we are all pleasantly surprised.

the grey seems a bit to dark for my taste, makes it look a bit ... dirty?
but thats just the first impression so far

It's not like they haven't had a preview page up on the website for ages showing you what it would look like or anything.

Is this "Add to Up Next" something new, or was I just oblivious to it in 10.7?

It's cool, being able to queue up in real time, I tend to play music like that, just kind of pick songs at random, but being able to stage them up is slick.

I think it'd be smart to wait a few days. It was obviously too buggy to release in October, so they said november and waited until the very last possible second (Almost)... That says to me it might not be quite perfect yet?

Hope it fixes Home Sharing by not requiring host to be open for others to share over wifi.

You get the overreaction award.

I'm so excited, I think I need to poop!

Has a new section called Home Videos.... Which is cool as I used to put them as TV shows
