Thanks, that will at least let you select a file to use. Couldn't see any way to simply copy/paste the art from an existing track though. But better than nothing.
Got a tip for us?

Same, I have Gallery under each Artist, but when I click on it, it just says No Gallery is Available for "Artist" after searching the store or something.
You might yet -- I don't have lyrics in all but like 2 songs, so I can't really test it out (I forgot which songs
)Can't help with that one.... I don't use optical media at all. I'l try with my parents.
I'm so over Apple advertising. "Completely Redesigned"! Like we've all been wanting that!
So that means we've been using a substandard product all these years that needed an overhaul? The old one works for me, I'll hold off on the update and wait for "service pack 1"
And off topic, why is a simple iPhoto software update over 1Gig? My lowly rural internet plan doesn't want to do that.
Likewise.... Why can't people just open it up and see the *surprise*..
Much more useful..... Its like chocolate being handed to you.

You have absolutely impeccable taste in music.
That song gets me going -- and from there any number of Legend of Zelda remixes carries me onward!

It took a while for that to get to iTunes
I agree; the video was about 3/5's the fun.
Is there any way to get search results to appear in songs view with column browser on. The results seems to switch you over into one of the other views, and as soon as you switch back into song view, everything is visible again.
And its a bit of pain to lose the ability to open a second iTunes window. This was for me, the easiest way to set up playlists because you could see both the playlist and the source.

It's not quite the same because you can't get the Genre in a single column between sidebar and the Musiclist. You can only get the genres (and if you want artist and Album) above the list which gives me about 1500 pixels of empty space and the need to scroll a lot until you find the genre you want. So now the only way around is an intelligent playlist for each genre. It works but it is less than ideal - which is, for me at least, pretty much the sum of iTunes 11.
Sometimes less is just less.
Yes, it does.
That's a lovely wallpaper. Would you mind sharing it?

I like this new version of iTunes very much.
I can't say I've come across any of the bugs/issues mentioned here, yet.Those are song's you've previewed in the Store, not bought. The idea is that if you've previewed a song and later on are trying to remember who/hat that was, it's in that list, and you can buy it (or preview it again).
Ok, I was REALLY hoping that Apple had fixed the MISSING ALBUM covers when you transfer to IPhone or IPad... but NOPE! Now it's even more tedious to copy and paste album cover so that it appears on my iphone...
Sigh, seriously, why wasn't this fixed!
Does anyone know a good alternative to iTunes they can suggest?

I didn't think you could ever do that - syncing with multiple libraries always triggered the 'this devices is synced with a different library' error
Can you elaborate? If there is album art work in iTunes, it will transfer the the iOS device. If there is none, it won't have any to transfer. You can right (ctrl) click an album and say album artwork, at which point iTunes will try to get the right album art work from the store, however this is sometimes hit or miss.
Another issue with column browser is that if have something selected, and hence only those items showing in the main window, and then switch over to movies, when you switch back to music that selection is lost and the entire music library is shown again.
They really don't want you to use column browser

This is the first time I saw 1000 comments on MacRumors in one day! The only change I wanted is simpler library migration to new computer, and allow iOS devices sync to more than one library. Right now Migration and Syncing is like hell.
This has been a long running issue (check out all the apple forums about this issue)... I'm pretty meticulous about my library and every album has album cover associated to it.
For quite a while now when transferring over the album art disappears (again, this is a well known problem that apple has never addressed)... The only solution was to copy and paste the album artwork into the already transferred album on your iphone-tedious.
So just now I transferred 2 albums over and POOF- NO album art on my iphone. Nothing.
It was hoped this obvious issue would have been fixed... but NOPE.
And now I don't even know how to easily access the album artwork in 11! I right click on the album that shows the artwork but in the info pane- nothing!
Ugh... beyond annoying.
BTW I have an iphone 4 w IO6 and an IPad mini.
Can anyone else confirm this? I am not updating now, will wait until tomorrow (well actually today-it's nearly one PM here) evening to do the update after the usual backup etc. Smartplaylists are my one must-have feature in itunes.
Otherwise lol at the comments, most seem to like it but some really don't. Maybe we need a poll in a few days.
Yes. System requirements are OS X 10.6.8 or newer. So, no PPC support.
FWIW, selling the PPC Mac on eBay and plunking a couple hundred more into a brand new low-end Mac mini (or a previous model off Apple refurb or eBay) and you won't regret it. We just replaced our kids' G5 iMac with the previous-model lowest-end Mac mini and the speed difference was astounding.
