First track missing iTunes 11

Is it just me, or is iTunes 11 a steaming pile of ****aki mushrooms? I just downloaded three albums and the first track is not showing up among other things. It's come to a grinding pinwheeling halt probably a dozen times since the upgrade, and now it's not recognizing my iPhone4. I really like the new layout and all, but it just seems unusually buggy. Oh, right and it seems like lots of tracks are strangely out of order. It's almost enough to make me go looking for alternatives that everyone says are so great. Thoughts?

It's just you. I don't think iTunes 11 is incredable by any means but it works fine for me and I've never had the issues you speak of. I am an iTunes power user. I have over 5000 full albums (65000 songs) and use iTunes over AirPlay streaming to my audio system almost everyday and for the most part it has been trouble free. If your songs are in the wrong order most likely you have the wrong information behind the scenes in the file. If you're missing the first track it may have gone elsewhere in iTunes because of wrong information or it just wasn't downloaded. Granted iTunes 11 is not perfect but it is not junk either. Usually issues like you speak of are from user error. Trust me I've had my share of issues usually caused by me.

I have the same problem. I can rip from a CD but, although I get the rest of the album, the first track often cuts out after about a minute. From Track 2 it's always OK.
