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

I used this feature so often, and also for when I convert shows to add to my library, I would right click and 'copy' the artwork so I could paste it onto the new episode.
Annoying.
What I noticed was if you click on the album art on the top bar it opens a new window... Which can be maxed too... you can keep it on top as it comes with its own set of play/pause controls...

spacebar STOP & PLAY doesn't work.
Wut...? Works well for me...
Wow, works great. iTunes 11 is pretty slick and fast. iTunes Match is integrated quite nice, I´m playing my whole music via the Cloud.
Now fix iTunes Match on the iPhone. It´s still laggy for me or sometimes doesnt even work at all. All good on the desktop though.

Are you talking about yourself?
Before iTunes 11 was released, there was buzz about the ability to queue up the next song. That buzz tended to mention that the feature was available in other products. I like the feature, but not enough to make me switch to one of those other products.
I'm glad it's now a part of iTunes. Really, really glad.
I'm under no illusion that Apple invented this feature. If you think I am, you need to broaden your mind a bit.
thanks, but i wanted to be able to click a button (or shortcut) that'd take me back to the view (Songs) that i'd used to play the track from too like how the little icon in the display window used to.
well, that button is long gone in iTunes 11, but you can hover over the now playing song and click on the arrow next to it that gives you extra options, and click on "Go to [name of song]" just before "Show in iTunes Store"
so it's 2 clicks instead of 1, but it's kind of still there...
Yeah, it's not like any of us uploaded high quality album art just so now it can be a tiny little thumbnail

Weird, I uploaded high quality album art and I enjoy every bit of it in the default album view. Maybe yours is broken?
Thanks for this workaround. It's ironic that Apple "improved iTunes" so much with this new version that users have to create workarounds to make it as useful as the last version.
Any information on what the Home Movies section is? iTunes does seem to want to import video from my iPhone into that section, so it is probably a placeholder.

Get better service. iTunes Match works flawlessly when your bandwidth doesn't suck.

6.1 will not be out in December.

Why? It's not a life support monitor, Francis. It's freaking iTunes. Software.
Lighten up.
"Amazes me" Lol good grief.

BTW, I didn't read through the whole thread, so don't shoot me if this was mentioned (not an easy thing to search for).
I have successfully gotten iTunes to show a mini-controller on my main desktop, while also being in full screen in it's own desktop. What I did was collapse the window to the mini-controller, then hovered over it and clicked the little arrow to bring up the contextual menu and chose "Go to [song name]". That opened the album containing the song in another iTunes window, which I then made full screen. Now I have my mini-controller always visible, and I don't have to lose it when I want to go back to my main iTunes window in my other desktop. Really nice.

There's *something* that iTunes is filtering on (besides the genre "Home Videos") because I reimported a bunch of movies from an external drive and two videos automatically imported into Home Videos.
These two videos are rips of self-produced DVDs that I kept in "Movies" rather than my "Home Movies" TV Show in 10.7. Both are named "[Title] [Year]" so maybe it's the naming convention on which iTunes is filtering. The other home movies that were genre'd as TV Shows before, stayed in TV until I manually changed the genre.
spacebar STOP & PLAY doesn't work.
Works for me, are you sure you were not focused on another program?
OMFG... Installing 10.7 back
You get the overreaction award.
Almost...
I think *this* guy gets the overreaction award!
spacebar STOP & PLAY doesn't work.
Yes, it does. You have to have your focus on iTunes.
Well, so far, and I'll freely admit that I haven't tried to find every and any bug or shortcoming with the new version, I find it quite satisfactory and in many ways better than what came before.
Then there's this guy called "BlackMangoTree". His whole purpose here does seem to be that of being as negative as possible. Before iTunes came out:
When someone suggested that he was just trolling:
After the WSJ article saying that it would come out on Thursday (yes, I know the wording was a bit more ambiguous than that...), he made a comment that he might have to appologize to people in that thread. He seems to have since edited that comment out, though, as I can no longer find it.
Now, with the new version of iTunes out and the new iMacs (which he also said wouldn't be available until 2013) in the hands of customers, does he admit that he was wrong? Does he offer anything positive to say about the new software or hardware? Nope:
Sigh. I guess it is his life to fill with such negativity. I only wish that if he chooses to do so, he'd be a little less liberal in sharing it with the rest of us...

Well I've messed around with it for a few hours and I like it. The big difference to me is when you select an artist's albums the individual songs are listed in 3 columns across the page instead of one column. Before I had columns with genre, last played, bitrate, playcount across the page. I suspect there's a way to get back to that, but I don't mind the new look. The que up the upcoming songs thing is cool. I've got about 13k songs and 100 movies. Almost none of it is from iTunes. So far so good. That being said, no thread like this is without the naysayers. IMO about 90% of the criticism is because of user error. It's the same way with new phones. It makes sense, not everyone is adept at new tech. Add in the trolls and there you have it.
