I guarantee I'd rather have 100+ CDs on an iPod than listen to the same 6 on a cross-country trip.
And how is that new? I have always been able to click on Devices, drop the music pane down and click on any song stored on my iPod or iPad...
Maybe if you are on a cross country trip but how many of those do you go on a day?
I'm in and out of my car 10+ times a day and MP3 CD's are by far a better option, for me. They start playing when I start my car. I don't have to take my phone out of my pocket, plug in a cord to the headphone jack, open the ipod app, select my song.... then reverse the process upon exit.
But to my original point... If they are going to remove a button I'd like to see it replaced with at least a
+ shortcut. I hope everyone likes the new update but I'm finding iTunes 10 less practical than 9 for my purposes.

Just wait until AirPlay starts showing up in head units!
iTunes 10.0.1 = No Arrows (even when disable Ping junk)!?
UGH. Not only does iTunes 10.0.1 force more "Ping" junk down our throats, it seems to permanently remove the "arrow button" functionality which would allow one to just show a given artist's songs, or a given album, etc.
(eg, on all our Macs we'd run: defaults write com.apple.iTunes invertStoreLinks -bool YES)
Now, even if one turns off the annoying Ping button appearing next to every song (ie, via defaults write com.apple.iTunes hide-ping-dropdown -bool TRUE)
...the arrows are still gone (even with defaults write com.apple.iTunes show-store-arrow-links -bool TRUE)
Even if you disable store access (via prefs-> parental controls) the arrows are gone (and we still want the store anyway- we buy iPhone apps all the time)
Anyone know of a way to restore arrows (without reverting to iTunes 9.21 as many seem to be doing)?
Another example of Apple ever-turning into a monolithic, dictatorial entity. Sigh.

re: Restoring intra-library arrow functionality
pooryou,
thanks for your reply and reference to the thread.
However after reading all 11 pages, I can't seem to see anywhere that references how to re-enable the arrow functionality to allow quick intra-library jumping to a given artist, album, etc.

Use the Ping menu, the bottom half of it has links to Song, Artist, Album, Genre. If you have set the arrows to go to your library then those links will now do it, otherwise you can use option in conjunction.
