Anyone else think its ugly as sin

Uggg... looks terrible. Looks like someone took the old skin and just increased the contrast by like 50% - Completely unnecessary. Also, I use the mini player to listen to music a lot. Normally, in iTunes 8, you push the green (+) to maximize to the full library, and again to go back to the mini-player. Now, it doesn't go to the mini player, it just goes to an even more maximized version and back. The only way now is a three key shortcut.
iTunes 9. Looks terrible. Decreased functionality. Wtf Apple. How can I downgrade?

Also, is it just me or does the new iTunes beachball and freeze like crazy?

You can downgrade, I did, the easiest way is to delete itunes from the app folder, and delete the itunes library file from the itunes folder. then get iTunes 8 (I got it from my Leopard install DVD in the optional install file) then drag all your music back into itunes

I like the looks, haven't had a chance to try it out as I don't have any music on this hard drive.

I love the new look, and after all it's not very different from the old one. Just a little more polished. Most of all, I've never used the mini player, so I didn't notice any difference.
