Hi Donø Unfortunately, I have so far seen absolutely nothing which I can honestly say I like about what Apple has done to iTunes.In fact, I am finding myself even lowering myself and going over to W*****s gto do simple things like play music.
Again, my views may change radically over time, it has happened before. But at this point, although I wouldn't ever use the description which you hinted at, not in public anyway, I would certainly describe it as the work of desuign engineers who clearly had nothing better to do in their spare time, or who just wanted to drive us all away from their product and who decided that the best way to do that was to ruin the product totally,. Doubtless others will disagree. But that is my take. Come back Winamp, all is forgiven, and that's saying something! ------------------------------ This Message Was Written Using One Hundred Percent Recycled Electrons; Sent From Our Third Generation iPad.

I described iTunes 11 on twitter recently thus: "if an undergraduate submitted this as a final year project I'd fail it". I stand by that assertion. Leaving voiceover out of it, the UI doesn't work. I've had all kinds of problems, not the least being my failure to create a new Apple ID for my mother recently because fields were removed from the tab order, and VO wouldn't put the correct data in the correct field. For example, I was entering my mum's city of residence followed by the county, however I couldn't get to the county at all. So you're not alone, iTunes 11 is **** (four letter word comprising the letter S followed by the word hit).
