awful awful awful awful awful awful awful awful ICON!!!!!!

the icon is the least of my worries as I use candybar to change the icon to my pleasing. I'm actually happy about the slightly redesigned UI that it has gives a different feel from the regular itunes look that we got so used to.

 

I'd probably complain if the icon looked badass and the UI looked "cheap" as hell.

The most dull "function" of the new version is the always constant-size of the album covers,

one can't do anything with them anymore. I'm so used to resize albums's covers,

especially when i like them - now, this ain't possible.

 

I'm pretty sure i'll throw the 10-th to the thrash and revert back to the last 9-th version...

Why does Apple always kill good old features for the sake of "innovations" ?! :blink:

For all of you folks out there, who are disappointed from the 10-th version,

here's how to revert back to the last 9-th one (v.9.2.1) : How to downgrade iTunes 10 to iTunes 9.2.1

 

Hope this will help everyone out to get rid off from the most dull update of iTunes ever...

Have fun !

 

P.S. mschilling, when in grid mode-view, double-click to "enter" the album, then just drag the line

which is on the right side of the album-cover with your mouse, and the cover will get bigger.

I downgraded back to 9.2.1(4) and can now enjoy album covers again :P

I see now, the column resize makes the icon bigger, and you can auto-resize the column to go back to small - nice. Are there any other features missing from this latest version? I think the new icon is probably aimed at PC users and maybe looks better on a cheap netbook?

If anyone like me hates the cringe-inducing vertically aligned window controls, you can get rid of this style with a hidden terminal command. Quit iTunes 10, and enter...

 

defaults write com.apple.iTunes full-window -1

 

...in a Terminal prompt. Relaunch iTunes and—voilà!—the standard window controls return. :)

Synolgy NAS with a shared library doesn't like iTunes 10.

The device is found but the library remains empty. :)

 

Hope Synogly or Apple brings a fix for this.

 

Not just Synolgy, any NAS that uses Firefly /Daap would not display the library properly with iTunes 10. I have freeNAS and have an empty "Playlist"....with previous version I would see my 300 GB worth of music - no problem at all....

I'm amazed how everyone wants to keep iTunes 10 yet partially revert it back into it's 9.x.x predecessor. Isn't Apple a beach sometimes? Trading off features for innovation.

 

The magical highway to success can't always be pleasant now can it?
