iTunes 11
- Thread starter Munson
- Start date
I dislike itunes, on a PC it's a disaster. Really basic things like scanning a new drive of songs which takes over a day and it's need to do that after it cant find the network drive on one occasion meant I never use it. Version 11 just looks like a decent copy of lots of other software like Zune etc and I cant see anything ground breaking so it'll be ok. Being honest it can only be better!

Never had a problem with iTunes on PC since 9, admittedly I haven't heard anything about 11. Will google.
Works great ATM with remote on my phone too, one thing I hate is not being able to view all songs by one artist, unless I'm just being special.

You're being special.
Type the name of the artist into the search bar and the click the little arrow on the magnifying glass and select "Artist".

If you were wondering where iTunes 11 was, you're not alone. With one day left in October, it was coming down to the wire on Apple's promised delivery date. Now, Apple says it is delaying the release of iTunes 11 in order to 'get it right'.
Here's the statement Apple has given to All Things D: "The new iTunes is taking longer than expected and we wanted to take a little extra time to get it right. We look forward to releasing this new version of iTunes with its dramatically simpler and cleaner interface, and seamless integration with iCloud before the end of November."
Apple had promised that it was going to be here 'in October' back at the iPhone 5 event. The update is a 'ground up reworking' of the kludgy software that many feel is one of the worst pieces of Apple's software puzzle. It is expected to include tighter integration with iCloud, a redesigned album and music browsing experience and a new user interface.
The previous version of iTunes has taken a lot of flack for being slow and awful to use. It was originally introduced by Steve Jobs as a part of Apple's Digital Hub strategy, which featured the iMac as the central repository of all of your media. Since that time, connected devices like Apple's iPod touch, iPad and iPhone have made the cloud the new hub, rather than a physical computer. The refactoring of iTunes to be more iCloud friendly will take advantage of that trend and hopefully alleviate a lot of the bloat while it's at it.

I'm not really sure why so many people have problems with iTunes. In fact it continues to baffle me. It's easy. IMO if you constantly find it difficult to use, then you should really look at yourself in the mirror and contemplate the realisation that you are actually pretty simple. lol
Exactly this. Also, I dont understand how so many people are saying its a different animal on window?? From a usability point of view, theyre both the bloody same!
In fact, on my macbook, it frequently can't connect to itunes match, and I never have that problem on my pc desktop.

iTunes is a massively complex database management tool, i can see why laymen struggle to use it. You just need to sit down and learn it.
But i've never had problems on the Mac version, the windows version has exhibited some unusual quirks (Slowdowns, not doing restore/backups correctly)

Fallen foul of this a few times myself. Massively annoying.

Updated mine last night and I like it. From a usability point of view I'm not finding any difference, but it looks pretty - took me a bit to get it to look how I wanted it to (View -> Show sidebar FYI). I'm not seeing the point of the mini player but I love the 'playing next' feature and history. The iOS app looks awesome too, love how it changes the background colour for each album/track depending on the main colour of the album art; very clever.
Ive never had any problems with it on PC.

I like the new layout, seems much cleaner.

Have they got rid of iTunes DJ?
That was about the only thing I liked about iTunes and now I can't find it.
And the "playing next" thing is nowhere near as good as what iTunes DJ was.
