iTunes 11 - WHAT HAVE THEY DONE!

I've just download and installed the update to iTunes - I wish I hadn't done that! Trust me - it's horrible, and the people on the Apple forums are not happy either... :(

Coverflow, Duplicate Finder, iTunes DJ, are just a few of the things to be dropped from the program, and it looks like it's so geared to users visiting the store it's insane! :evil:

Stick with 10.7 guys - that was the most usable version to date.

Here's an article describing the changes:

I sometimes use iTunes to set up special playlists, which I can use in Cross and VDJ.

All is not lost as I've gone back to the earlier version and rebuilt my library. Lost all my playlists though! :(

:cool: :cool: not shure if its possible to back up some of that info , the effort would be well worth if it saves this from happening again :cool: ,,,i saved all the zip files downloaded of Cross software versions as to have then if something went amiss,, had it happen when norton encountered a problem and required a power eraser to correct the error,, well not paying attention as to what they wanted to delete i allowed it to delete what i thought was short cuts on the desk top for Cross,, wound up deleting the programs,,,well long story short opened up and installed the version of Cross i was using at the time,, alls well :cool: :cool: ,,i get carful with software updates :cool: :cool:

3. iTunes DJ
iTunes DJ was a neat feature that would let you put together a never-ending playlist in a pinch. You could even tweak it to make sure it wouldn't play the embarrassing chunks of your music collection by limiting selections to a certain playlist or genre (see above).

What made it really stand out, however, was a feature Apple added in iTunes 8.1 that let other people at your party put in a request for a song from their mobile device, and even vote on upcoming tracks. If a party host agreed, that song would go on, making the whole thing feel a little more social. Google's defunct Nexus Q device (which is currently being reworked) wanted to take that same idea and turn it into a standalone product. In iTunes 11, though, it's MIA.

My migration back to 10.7 has been successful. I did lose my created playlists, but that is a minor thing. I had to do some searching to find some of the sneaky folder/files that iTunes left behind after deleting version 11, but I got there in the end... happy again! :D
