Holy fucking shit did Apple fire anyone with a clue about how to make software simple and attractive? The new iTunes is, dare I say it, more of a cluster fuck than Windows 8! Put the two on the same machine and you may well create a rift in the time space continuum. A black hole of suckage the likes of which we haven't seen since, since.. ever!

I mean seriously, what the fuck were they thinking?

Discuss!


Edit: Apple was at least wise enough to leave the sidebar in so you could return to the old way. I haven't found a way to shrink the size of the song, album or app icon/panels though. Someone blind as a bat at Apple must have gotten control.

iTunes period is largely responsible for my never having bought an iDevice, what a PoS.

(I'm perfectly willing to spend money for quality HW; iTunes is intolerable)

Agreed, back when I had the mac laptop I still couldn't stand iTunes, or the abortion they made of Quicktime.

Yeah I refuse to install QuickTime on my computer. No iTunes for me either. I don't really see the point of iTunes if you don't own any Apple devices.

Holy fuck, that's just terrible... really really terrible.

With the stand alone podcast app that downloads new episodes wirelessly, I barely touch iTunes. Apps also updated wirelessly.

I just installed it a few hours ago. I've had 2 crashes so far! Other than that, I like the layout much more.

I really don't have to use itunes that much though. Maybe once or twice a month?

Sadly, I still have one Apple thing left, and only because the harness in my car is for iPod only (need to find an adapter for non-proprietary bullshit. No way I am upgrading iTunes though. Bad enough as it is....maybe jesus will get me a non-apple mp3 player and harness for sexmas.

After an hour+ of messing around with itunes, I got it to look sorta how it used to look.... but the postage stamp sized icon for artists cannot be removed or re-sized. It's nice that album art can now be re-sized but I you can't re-size album content columns.

It's still a massive, sluggish, mess of a program that I only use because I have to.
It's too bad the itunes store has to be hobbled by a mess of an interface that looks like it was designed by a fucking retard.

At least for Apps there's a nice store app you can access from the iPhone or iPad so you don't have to deal with that part of it.

iTunes 11 does in fact blow.

It certianly does transfer files faster to my ipad though!
