Apple Releases OS X Yosemite Developer Preview 4, Public Beta Coming Later This Month

Is there a way to make any of the options in the "Add Field" drop-down show permanently? i.e. Album Artist, Disc Numbers, etc.

In every iTunes release before this, those options were there by default.

I signed up for the public beta for when it's released. Can anyone tell me how stable they normally are, and whether it would be OK to use on your primary laptop?

They have never done a public beta of an OS before. Typically I would advise against using a beta OS, especially if you use more than the default Apple apps. Third party apps and pro apps usually do not get updated until the public release.

I can only see the Column Browser and list view in the playlists view, not in the "My Music" view. So there's an easy way around it, to create a playlist of all your music. Not sure if there's a more elegant way that I'm missing.

Lovely - they've gone for the useless iOS UI. I guess the concept of 'play all music by one artist' is beyond the UI designers. Maybe they expect us to create a playlist for each of our 500 artists?

Nope, they've seeded to selected Appleseed participants and some Apple employees but never before a beta OSX for the general public.

You must be still using a non-Retina screen. On my Retina Macbook Pro the new iTunes looks absolutely gorgeous. Retina screens make text and photos look very good. Almost like a printed sheet of paper. The flat designs bring out this effect nicely. The older skeumorphic designs served to help hide the ugly pixelated text caused by the lower quality screens.

Good point. I'll go ahead and switch my iMac's display to "retina mode."

Oh wait, that's impossible.

I can see column browser in the main My Music view. And in the Playlists view with the 'sidebar' some are so fond of. A simple command+b enables the column browser in whatever view you are in.

OS X will still receive the SMS messages; ANNOYING. lol :apple:

iTunes 12 looks even more horrific than iTunes 11.

I'll still be sticking with 10.7 (the last good iTunes IMHO) on my main machine for as long as possible.

Mac OS X 10.0 was a public beta. Fourteen years ago. And it cost $30.
 
Going to miss the old calculator

But I'll get over it. I am looking foreword to the design changes. I'd love to sit in on Apples UI design meetings to see how and why they make some of these types of changes.
 
iTunes

pulling hair out ATM can't find list view arrrggg... Please apple don't make me find another music program... you took my side bar eeekkk

Wow - If true, this is a pretty early Public Beta Release IMO for an Apple OS... They must be really sure that this OS X version is close to complete and ready to give out to the mass... No way they would send this to the public beta users with it causing bugs.

Public beta is meant for people that aren't developers but want to help bug test... so it's going to have bugs. It's limited and not at all the same as the public release.

Yes, I know that... I'm just saying that Apple would not release this to "non-devs" with this Public beta if bugs were to a very minimum.

Most people who signed up for the public beta are just avg. Joe's and want it early.
 
Wow this is coming along well! Much less buggy than DP3 for me. I was having all sorts of minor process crashes in the bg in 3 which hadn't happened in 1 or 2.. Definitely some more optimisation with things like Mission Control too.

.. I love what they've done to iTunes. Their relentless changing of everything near-constantly brings a smile to my face.. I remember when people used to complain when UI stuff got stale between multiple OS updates.. It's getting to be the opposite lately!
