No you're not...
The look is so bad compared to the old version.
I have 20,000 songs and it is slooowwwww. Scrolling through artists is quick but it takes a while for artwork to load. The view of albums is annoying too, why can't we see a list of albums not just all of them there so you have to scroll through to find the one you want? It now takes longer to do that. For artists where you have a lot of albums (10+) you have to scroll through a lot of stuff before you hit the tenth.
Coverflow was rubbish.
I'm an apple fan since 1987, never had a complaint and lots of my friends did follow me. But how about now and the future?
The looks are excellent, but
comparing with 10.7, on the same system the 11 version is terrible slow on
- searching
- updating tags and ilustrations
- starting to play a song
- getting the info window
No lllustration on songlisting
No coverflow
No finding duplicates
and probably more things to come
With Steve in the lead this would never had happen!!!
To much energy in patentwar i guess.
I haven't read each and every one of the 100+ replies. But, no one so far has discussed the other serious issue the disappears with coverflow . ...Sorting compilation based music, such as classical. For those *&^*%^%$ at Apple development, that is music that was written before Back Street Boys. The music is meant to be played through multiple tracks. With the old iTunes, one could view by album, sorted by composer, and shuffle by group. Try scanning and selecting a particular composition, with 80GB of classical music, with this new matrix of oversized album covers. Doesn't work.
Can't you still do this from the Songs view?
For anything but the smallest libraries, it's hard to imagine using anything but the songs view. Going through classical material still works great for me using the songs view and column browser with Composer as one of the columns.
What are you asking?
You can not .
I'm liking the new iTunes 11 look and feel.
It does seem to have a few problems and I've had to force quit 3 times already - but that could be iTunes Store/communications related.
I quite miss the album artwork when playing a song (except in microscopic form in the mini-browser).
And I definitely do not like that my playlists which used to play in random order now only play according to how they are sorted. How can I sort randomly?
And it still doesn't send the Visualizer to AppleTV :-(
Miss my coverflow already... :'(

iTunes 10 feels like the equivalent of coming from iTunes 4. iTunes 11 feels like 2012/13.
They took out the "next" and "previous" buttons when editing songs. Now I have to close and then open each song to edit them. Very frustrating.
