iTunes 11 has dropped

[foxfirefey]

If anybody upgrades, could you report on the outcome?

someone on my twitter feed updated, and she actually likes the new version. Not sure if she's on a Mac or PC

Just upgraded. The look is different, that's for sure, and it's taking a little bit of poking around to figure out where the old functions are. I'm not precisely sure what's been upgraded yet, since I really only use the damn thing to play music.

I hate the look, but I can't afford DJ software yet.

Is there a way to have iTunes display the music in a list? I have a lot of music without covers. It's easier to find tracks by name...

It looks like you can only do the traditional list view in playlists. The main library is stuck with the grey boxes and all the nonsense. They are very clearly pushing cloud and virtual music, getting away from the idea of disc storage and ownership, big time.

Not sure if it's what you're looking for but -- if you click on the "Songs" tab, that brings up a list view. (Default is Albums, which is less useful for me as well)

UGH! Upgraded last night while trying to update my iPod touch. Did not know it was this recent. HATE. Could not easily figure out how to simply find my holiday playlist, check the boxes, and (most importantly) synchronize the thing.

Hate hate hate. Glad I don't use iTunes on a computer (Win7) anymore.

Well, from a screen reader perspective--I use VoiceOver--iTunes 12.2 is the version I'm currently running. Most things appear to be the same, although the context menu seems to have disappeared. I'm talking about the menu with the option for deleting a track. I've tried using Command-Delete and just Delete by itself, with mixed results. I don't know the reason for this, perhaps it's some sort of focusing issue with VoiceOver. As a matter of fact this is currently one of the things I'm trying to figure out now. I really want to try out Apple Music. Regarding iTunes 11.x , it seemed to be a bit better in this respect although I can't say for certain because I haven't had much formal training on my Mac. The formal training I did have was very good, but it was only one session. There was a brief section about iTunes in a book I read about Apple's screen reader, but it only barely scratched the surface. The main thing I've done in iTunes though is import CD's using the SuperDrive that my brother-in-law gave me for Christmas last year. I now have all my collection imported, and the process was very straightforward once I got used to it. So I'm not complaining, because I think the accessibility folks at Apple have done an awesome job with VoiceOver. I just might have to write them though regarding this problem I'm having.
