Apple Releases iTunes 11 with Simplified Player, Redesigned Store, and More - Page 6

Good news for people who don't like change, you can essentially customise the interface back to how it was by viewing the side bar and the status bar

Lukewarmwinner · Nov 29, 2012, 12:32 PM

Finally colors!

Simplicated · Nov 29, 2012, 12:32 PM

I bring you the most exciting news... Colors are back in the sidebar!

oozeymc · Nov 29, 2012, 12:32 PM

iTunes Match people!! Does it fix the artwork issue.....?

rmwebs · Nov 29, 2012, 12:32 PM

Meh bored of this already...back to Spotify.

q64ceo · Nov 29, 2012, 12:32 PM

Its decent. I wish it stood by the OS X colors, but I bet there will be a hack soon for that.

Yep. And with the "Learn More" when it asks if you want to share your info with apple.

.... And it won't download updates to apps.

I have 102,000 songs in my library. iTunes in the Cloud still limits you to 25,000. Amazon Cloud Player has a limit of 250,000 songs.

When will iTunes move to 250,000?

I don't have enough space on my phone to download full HD videos, otherwise I'd just download them, delete them, and then go about my day. Not a necessity but it would be nice, I think.

Oh I agree. That has to be next for iOS 7. It only seems logical.

x2. When will the major companies realize this? EVERY one of my main facebook friends use Spotify. This iTunes update was cool, 5 mins later, it's closed and I'm running Spotify. Thx.

Saberon · Nov 29, 2012, 12:34 PM

Any direct download links? Still showing 10.7 =(

rorschach · Nov 29, 2012, 12:34 PM

New "Home Video" category (finally) to separate actual films and, well, home videos.

Dagless · Nov 29, 2012, 12:34 PM

Still doesn't fix the bug I've been complaining about for 2 years now. Each update I contact them to let them know it still hasn't been fixed, they ask for details, I provide them with everything they want, but never a fix.

New interface isn't bad. Don't like the store shortcut buttons on my music. Very Microsoft move that. "This song is yours, but click here to buy more like it!" - no thanks.

Don't like the iCloud column either. It'll take a while to go through all my playlists removing it.

Actually I don't like this interface. It's harder to see if you have any apps that need updating. Genre view doesn't have a list format (if you have lots of genres it's annoying to have to scroll through a huge list).
Can we install the old iTunes?

AnTaR3s · Nov 29, 2012, 12:34 PM

Any way to reverse the sort ordering?

Yes. Go to Apple Software Update in your Start menu and it will detect it. It isn't yet on the site. I'm downloading it now.

I've used Media Monkey, Song Bird, WinAMP, etc., etc., and those apps have had features that iTunes lacked as well, they just didn't provide the seamless integration I wanted.

My point was: it's a great feature, glad to see it on iTunes

Seems flawless for me. No glitches, fast (on a 5.5-year old MPB). No real need to wait unless your work depends on iTunes somehow.

My only request is that Genius works iCloud-hosted music. It doesn't seem to. I don't store my music locally, so that means that I can't use Genius. Too bad.

Yeah had a play with it, but to be perfectly honest it just feels like they rehashed the UI, and it's not even followed the OS X UI design, it's got some really odd and inconsistent gradients.

It was going to take more than a code cleanup and a few very minute features to make be go back to iTunes.

Plus iTunes has no real 'shuffle' it's by no means random at all and never has been - this pissed me off to no end when it would loop the same 200 or so songs, ignoring the rest of my library.

Winamp 3 is still the best audio player ever built
