At the very least, this will help you get your colors back.

I don't know if anybody has posted this or not, but today I found a program that'll bring back the look of iTunes 9. I installed it earlier and it worked great.

Just click on the Finder icon on the right just above the thumbnail gallery...
So many people are complaining about how iTunes 10 looks, including me, so get this and change it back.

I could care less about the icon, although I do welcome the change. As far as the UI goes, once you start to actually spend time in the app, it makes more sense. I find it much easier to navigate quickly with less distraction.
That's had me going crazy too. I can't find anything without concentrating-- not how it should be.
And then I opened preferences hoping I could turn the color back on and find: no color in the Preferences?! How can that make sense?
I take your point, but I don't open iTunes to admire the cover art. I open it because it's a tool and I want to listen to or watch something. This isn't freakin' Bang & Olufsen.
Hover color isn't much of a compromise-- I want my eye to tell me where to move the mouse before I start moving it, not after I get part way there and start hunting.
Yep, and it forces you to declare gender? No ping for me, for those and other reasons.

Wow, it's only been a day or so and there are already posts on how to modify iTunes 10. Thanks!
Hmmm, I checked it out and while those images look similar to the sidebar icons, I don't believe they match (could be wrong). I couldn't find an "Apps", "Books", etc. icons. Think they could be in the .nibs?
I second that.
I don't like it, it's so basic and bland, nothing like any of the other apple icons. They have feeling and brightness to them. This is just boring and simple, something I'd expet from Microsoft, not apple. *shakes head*
I don't really like it either, but I'm sure next week I won't care anymore.
Actually, when I look at it some more it's not that bad. It would have been cool if they added equalizer level thingy's in the background, if you know what I mean.

Ok, first off, its an icon!
Second, its a step forward. We aren't in the 90's anymore, CDs are becoming a thing of the past and iTunes has been the leader moving consumers from physical media to digital downloads. The old icon was dated, a thing of the past, like vinyl records.

Well done.
People understand your second point, it's not that difficult to figure out seeing as that's the whole point behind the icon change.
People are arguing about the design.
Really want my color back in itunes.... if ping does not turn out to be awesome I think I will go back to 9.2... the icon I am ok with because I don't spend all day looking at it but itunes gets brought up often to change albums/songs/etc now its this gray thing that does not scream I am fun and full of interesting things.... More like I am fading out quietly which we know its not.
The icon is the same blue and black as in iMovie, iDVD and Quicktime. I think they are going for uniformity / branding.
Offended much?
I'm sure they would be able to tell if it shows a Hollywood movie on it along with the DVD logo.
Exactly. I said in an earlier post theres more import and issues to worry about such as national security.
FTW!
That's getting closer, but still a bit gimmicky. I know itunes does more then just music so it's hard to have an icon that's all about what itunes does and not have it be cheesy.

iTunes icon
To be very honest, I always thought that the original iTunes logo was dated and a bit condescending, in that, I think I know that music comes on CDs.
I like this one better. It's clean, still has a musical "circle," and it's more contemporary.
I bet that ALL the iLife icons get a refresh in 2011.

Steve is right here but...
I agree with Jobs. The old logo, even though we're very used to it and it's pretty darn good, is not fit for iTunes 10. I think iTunes used to be about importing CDs and keeping them on the computer. That is what the CD logo probably came from. The new iTunes should be about social networking, music downloads, and music in general. CDs are becoming a thing of the past (but I still love them). Of course, I will listen to anyone who has evidence otherwise because this is only my assumption as to why the older logos had a CD in them.
But this new logo is cheap looking. It looks like some kind of sub-icon IN iTunes. The new logo should not have a CD in it but it shouldn't be THIS ugly logo.
I think the new one would look good if it had a record in it instead of a CD. Records are the Icon of Music, but it doesn't make iTunes 10 look old because it was never meant to import real records anyway.

Erm... It's pretty good but too cheesy. Those icons make it look too complicated. A logo must be simple. And what is that heart for in the circle? If anything there should be an iPhone in there, too, not a heart.
And you should also have some kind of AirTunes related pic on there.
