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

I haven't had any problems. I went through all the screens, checking out the new layout. I re-sync'd my iPhone. I manually selected "organize library" and no changes were made to the folders or files, so apparently no paths have been changed.

what is "Represenatives"?

Will this iTunes allow folder creation and sort my music manually instead of by tag? I mean, I use iTunes for radio, because the automatic sorting of music files makes me mad, I have music files recorded by me that have no tags or albums, and it just throws it to the bunch, I can't manually sort them or keep them in their folders as I could with for instance SoundJam...

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.

....People pull all nighters all the time at Apple, for things we don't even see most of the time.

It's part of the younger crowd's culture at apple, and has been documented for years.

havent used itunes 11 yet, but im using the remote app and i have to say, im very impressed that the folder- expansion feature, loaded the matching color of the album art straight away, i have a large library, i expected this to initially load my artwork at cripple-slow rates.

Does it allow to resume playback a long list of songs on the Mac after iTunes is closed and open again, the Mac rebooted, etc? Such resume playback feature was available on SoundJam MP on 2001, from where iTunes was developed. It is amazing that such an essential and useful feature was not maintained in iTunes all these years.

Even though you probably won't like it, everyone has their own opinion and that's mine about Windows and PC. From my experiences iTunes is better on the Mac.

Loading faster isn't about experiences, it's about facts…load times. And your last sentence doesn't make your point any stronger, of course it runs better on OS X.

All I am saying is when I ran iTunes on my PC it did not run as well as OS X. That would be my EXPERIENCE with iTunes on both operating systems.
