Apple Updates iTunes to Version 11.0.3 With New MiniPlayer and Improvements

[WannaGoMac]

Yes, the new iTunes is why I am staying with iTunes 10 for as long as I can. Their "innovation" is hiding everything that I need to try and make use of the mess that is iTunes...

<nevermind, used to albums view and not song view>

 

[Ice-Cube]

Isn't it funny that Apple take away certain features than add it back and call them updates. They could do this all year round and we'd be jumping and clapping every time they update something.

 

[Simplicated]

I'm still waiting for Cocoa...

Has the option to view album artwork in the sidebar in songs view been restored as it was in iTunes 10?

 

[Parasprite]

Is this new? View Options now gives a checkbox list.

Looks new to me.

iTunes 11.0.2:

Edit: Nevermind, I'm silly. It's different in Songs view than Albums/Genre/etc.

Is this new? View Options now gives a checkbox list.

it's been like that for awhile now, but the top portion of the Songs view View Options box now has a slider for artwork size I believe...

Parasprite: thechungster's screenshot is in Songs view, you are in Artists view, which is why it looks different...

This is something I've been looking for as well. I just wish iTunes didn't give me beach balls so frequently.

No kidding jessica, my SSD MBA gets beach balls all the time w/iTunes. Not sure if it's because of Match, communication with the store, or what TBA.

frustrating to say the least.

-Multi-Disc Albums. Albums with multiple discs now appear as a single album.

Finally! I'm really looking forward to this. It was really annoying to have multiple discs show when this could have been solved by just showing one single album.

Agreed. Although I've since all changed my multi-disc albums to just have one name with no disc delineation :/

Has the option to view album artwork in the sidebar in songs view been restored as it was in iTunes 10?

No, have a look at the screen shots that have been posted.

 

[thechungster]

it's been like that for awhile now I believe...

Hmm, might be because I'm never in the songs view and always album view.

 

[faizoff]

It's not the same as the old version.

You sir have impeccable taste in music. The Raven is my album of the year, I bought it on Blu-ray audio and its orgasmic.

I have never ever used the mini player in the 6 years i've had a Mac.

Nope. Also, don't judge my OneDirection album. It's "for my sister"

 

[fel10]

Cool. Too bad I haven't used iTunes in over a year since getting Spotify.

Same here

 

[JGRE]

- Multi-Disc Albums. Albums with multiple discs now appear as a single album.

Nope, still split in multiple albums

 

[Tankmaze]

never have used the mini player since I've owned a mac. but this looks good.

 

[jozeppy26]

I really wish they'd fix this hot mess of an iTunes U view. wtf is this crap?

 

[jozeppy26]

- Multi-Disc Albums. Albums with multiple discs now appear as a single album.

Nope, still split in multiple albums

Is the album artist the same?

 

[Prof.]

It's not the same as the old version.

I can't seem to figure out how to get my iTunes to do that...

 

[jozeppy26]

It's under view options. The artwork size is customizable now too (it wasn't in iTunes 10).

 

[Yvan256]

Finally it's back

- Improved Songs View. You can now enjoy your album artwork while in Songs view.

I'm glad to see we have that feature back.

I really hate albums view. What were they thinking by removing that simple yet elegant feature from songs view in the first place?

 

[Prof.]

It's under view options. The artwork size is customizable now too (it wasn't in iTunes 10).

Thanks so much!
