12.04.12 | iTunes always frustrated me.
Getting a Cowon this year to replace my old iPod which just ran out of memory. Should be interesting, sound quality is meant to be mind-blowing on these things and I don't have to deal with iTunes anymore |

12.04.12 | the drop down menu is nice, to easily make genius playlists and add random other tracks into the playlist. lack of cover flow and information about capacities such as # of albums, songs and gigs is missing |
MalleusMaleficarum
12.04.12 | yeaa you have to sort by album in order to get the drop down
sorting by song is def the worst and ugliest |

12.04.12 | I have vista and I've it since 2007, back when I didn't really give a shit. sure enough it's slowly clogged up to the point that everything is unbearably slow and all my files are in a mess. Even my external 450gb hard drive is 90% filled up, although at least it's mostly organised with all my files that are actually important.

12.04.12 | Never really loved the previous version and was just getting used to it (just bough my first iPod less than a month ago) but this isn't that great either... though that may just be the automatic dislike of the new... Only time (and patches) will tell if we'll get used to it.

12.05.12 | the only thing thats missing that i like (besides cover flow) is that when you press shuffle (i use album shuffle a fair bit) it doesn't shuffle the entire playlist into a new order it just plays a random album without actually taking you to that song in the list |
Camstr
12.05.12 | Don't know if I'm just retarded and missed how to do this with the new update but I don't think itunes11 shows me how many songs are in my library in total. It tells me how many are on my ipod when I go into it, but since my ipod and itunes are identical it would be cool to see my total in my library too in case I make a mistake. Then I would know right away by going back and checking my ipod ya see? Also, it doesn't show me total album lengths or combined songs lengths either what's up with that? |
