+1 exactly the same for me. It was so annoying, every other program's '+' button changed the size. Does someone know if pressing option '+' in the update will resize it?
Got a tip for us?

Finally Fixed!
Miniplayer is just a click away again. Thank you Apple! I didn't like the other way. However, I can undestand people thinking different, after all, they should put another extra button to swich miniplayer and left the green button original purpose.
By the way, anyone knows if 9.0.1. solved the compatibility issues with Airport Express? I've had to donwgrade to 8.2.1 because of that.

I actually switched back to iTunes 8 just for that reason. I'm glad to know I can re-install iTunes 9 again
For once it seems Apple listened to the complaints.

Although I totally disagree with this deviation of the green button function, it's, ONCE MORE, CLEAR evidence that Apple's level of response to user's comments and complaints is SECOND TO NONE (even when such users suggest WRONG things). They ALSO PROMPTLY fixed the sorting of multiple album tracks.
CONGRATULATIONS for another great job in terms of customer service, Apple!
Let's hope they can now concentrate on getting a fix out for OS 3.1 for the iPhone 3G.
Still can't "Complete My Album"
I apologize if this has been already stated but I still can't "Complete My Album." I get a message that states: "Purchase of this item is not currently available. This item is being modified. Please try again later."
It also still doesn't address the issue with the user specific quick links such as "complete my album", "iTunes Plus" etc not appearing unless you stand on one foot and twirl around while rubbing your belly and tapping your head.
But the green button works...

I haven't read the entire thread, so sorry if this is a repeat... iTunes 9 created a major hassle for me with regard to the syncing of podcasts and audiobooks. It wasn't syncing the "pause place" for a given podcast or audiobook. I could have listened to, say, 30m:25s in a podcast but, when I would sync it with iTunes 9, the pause point would not get retained. iTunes 9 would reset the pause point back to wherever it was set in iTunes 9 (which would be 00:00 if I hadn't listened to the podcast in iTunes 9). VERY annoying.
I'm happy to report this bug is squashed in iTunes 9.0.1. The pause point of a given podcast or audiobook gets transferred from my device to iTunes 9.0.1 and then can also subsequently be properly transferred to a different device.
Further, iTunes 9.0.1 takes into consideration which device (or iTunes 9.0.1 itself) was the most recent place you actually played the given podcast or audiobook. So, if you listened to a podcast on your iPhone to, say, 30:30 and paused it... and then, later, you listened to the same podcast in iTunes 9.0.1 to 40:40, and then (without syncing), you went back to the iPhone and listened to 35:35... well, when you then sync the iPhone to iTunes 9.0.1 the pause point will be retained in the iPhone at 35:35 and reset in iTunes to 35:35 because the iPhone was the most recent place you listened to that podcast.
So:
1) Whichever device (or iTunes) is farthest along in the podcast becomes the default pause point for each sync.
2) EXCEPT, if you listened to a device most recently with an earlier pause point.
Very logical!!

Proof that you can't make everyone happy. This functionality is the same type of usage as calculator's zoom button. I was one of the (obviously) many, many people who wrote to Apple and complained when they changed it to 9.0's behavior. I'm in and out of mini-player all day long, dozens of times a day and it was driving me crazy!
Apple did give you a way to disable it. You and the other 12 people who like the zoom button to resize the window from one size to a (seemingly random) other size can now hold the option key when you click it while the other 12 million of us don't need to do so to get to our mini-player.
Couldn't use it while iTunes was inactive.
Couldn't use it with the mouse alone.
I'm very glad apple brought the old mini-player functionality back, and so is a hefty chunk of the Mac users out there (just do a search). You folks who don't use it can just size your window accordingly and smile, as you always have.
Agreed, just hold the apple key + green button to automatically resize the window. Many more people use it to minimize to the mini player so it makes sense to cede to their requests first.
Now they should give us an option to use the old black background, this white one looks like garbage with the album artwork.

iTunes is a great program, but its so bloated. I get a lot of beach balling on all my machines, even the Mac Pro.
Is anyone else having this issue?
Okay iTunes 9.0.1 appears to have taken care of many of the major bugs but is anyone having an issue with the way Podcast are managed or is it just my machine. So you download a podcast and you get the number "1" saying you have a new unwatched podcast. Before in iTunes 8, as soon as you hit play that 1 gets taken off so that you know you have watched it. Now it remains as "unwatched" even though its been played at least once. Perhaps its just a problem for me but its seems more right the way before.

The user interface for handling the syncing of podcasts (and other media) to a device got a fairly significant makeover in iTunes 9. I suggest you double-check the settings you have enabled in the podcast tab for your device to be sure iTunes is set the way you want it to be. Perhaps you have it set to always save the most recent podcasts, regardless if you've listened to them or not.

This update surely makes things faster, and the Black Grid mod still works too.
They still haven't fixed the column resizing issue, makes it a pain in the butt to get album info for some songs. It's harder for me to browse the store now more than ever!

Having just imported a cd into this glorious 9.0.1 and gotten nothing but beachball the ENTIRE time leaving me unable to even play the tracks that were importing, I for one would like to say that this update sucks.
Imported a CD in 9.0.1 last night and playback while importing worked just fine for me! No spinning beach ball or any other weirdness.
As I recall, there used to be a preference setting for playback while importing but, for the life of me, I can't find it anymore.

Green button = Mini Player again.
Thankfully! That was the first feature I tried out when I upgraded from 9.0.0
Why not just select them and set the Grouping to "Music Videos", and then make a smart playlist that pulls just that group. That will make them easy to find. Uncheck them in your song list and they wont get played when you're just listening to music
Because I don't want them in with my music; they just don't belong there. I don't buy films from iTunes so this works for me
Green button = Mini Player again.
Another blow for UI consistency. Why don't I just switch to friggin' Windows if Apple is publicly stating the UI consistency means nothing to them?
OK, maybe a bit melodramatic. But seriously, how can Apple reasonably expect developers to follow their UI guidelines, when they can't seem to do it themselves?
partial success
iTunes 9.0.1 restored the zoom to miniplayer and the time measurement in playlists (from decimal to minutes) BUT they took away the ability to reorder items within a playlist. I cannot drag the tracks into the order I want, I can only order them by column heading. If I am missing something, please fill me in. Thanks!
