iTunes 11 release on 23rd?

[northernbaldy]

I'm looking forward to it, time for a fresh start

 

[MasterHowl]

I want unrestrained playability of my music; once an album/artist finishes, the next one starts playing.

File > New Smart Playlist... > Media Kind is Music

Looking forward to the revamped store experience, that's about the extent of my excitement though. I've always used the "List view" and will continue to do so in iTunes 11, so it's not really much of a change for me.

Hopefully, finally, we will be able to Queue songs like every other music player in the universe. Why this feature was missing since day one is beyond my comprehension.

Isn't that what iTunes DJ is all about?

Not exactly. It would be more like What new iTunes offers. add a song to the playlist, edit playlist as you go. Basically decide what plays next after the current.
iTunes DJ isn't as feature rich or as flexible. Up next seems impressive already.

No one is looking forward to this more than me. No one.

I'm looking forward to enjoying my music again. iTunes has become more of a music management app instead of one that allows you to enjoy it. It's like having bins full of vinyl that you never listen to because you don't remember you have it or you just can't decide what to listen to beyond the same few artists you always listen to.

Bring on tomorrow!

 

[Lvivske]

I'm mostly happy, besides about the layout cleanup and better space management, about the return of an emphasis on album art

biggest gripe for me was up until 9, we could have large 600x600 album art; then with 10 we could only pick "large" which was a small icon. Ridiculous.

wtf, they didnt mention it today, what gives??

 

[shenfrey]

Because its not coming today.

 

[iWe]

So, any word on the new iTunes?

 

[Lvivske]

Because its not coming today.

Gee, you're so insightful.

 

[Troneas]

ya to hell with ipad mini we want itunes 11.

 

[kpress3]

"End of October..." does this mean literally October 31? Who knows. Thought for sure they would announce it at the keynote today.

 

[bushido]

does the new iPad require iTunes 11? they would surely release it around that time frame at last ...

it always seemed odd to me that they didnt release a beta

 

[ipedro]

The iPad mini won't be available in October so iTunes 11 still has a week to be released.

There website does say "Coming in October" so it could come anytime between now and the first half of next week.

the update for the ibooks app isn't out yet so i'm still hoping we're getting the itunes update too at the same time!

 

[moderngamenewb]

I'm actually looking forward to the new iTunes… the mini player is a great idea and they're not getting rid of the old-style list view, which I will likely continue to use.

I am, however, with you on the iPad Music app. I wish they had been kind enough to give us an option, because it performs so poorly with my music library and iTunes match, it's a total bitch to use. Not to mention the album cover mode is a terrible way to browse and skim your library if you have more than a reasonably sized library.

I love list view on my iTunes and use it more than the other viewing options. I'm glad that they're giving us the option to use the list view, instead of getting rid of it, which is what I thought they would have done. I don't like the iPad Music app either, I liked the old layout better (the one before ios5).

That would be the best case scenario. Hopeful for that, too.

 

[Osullivan1]

If it doesn't come out later today, it may come out on Thursday as they have a conference call then and have previously released software after those events (like OS X 10.7 & 10.8). Otherwise I have no clue... why is it taking them so long?

 

[kidintown]

they just rolled out a big update for final cut, compressor, etc. i'm praying for itunes coming soon!

 

[Mike MA]

iTunes 11 release on 23rd?

Obviously not...even though it was my guess too back that time

 

[ZenErik]

I'm going to try the new look. I've always been a list guy as well, but maybe I should do something new.
