Hi Zack OK, perhaps one of these people who say they like the interface better now might care to explain how one would do things like search for items. When I tried that, it failed to find the item even though I knew it was present in my library.

It's important to give it time, and not dismiss the whole project as dreadful without fair examination. One of the things I've noticed about VoiceOver as I've used it this past year is that it tends to make it possible for two people to have utterly different user experiences, based purely on the techniques they employ. I favor interacting whenever possible, and embracing the "groups of objects," metaphor which Apple seems to encourage. Is this necessarily the most efficient way to go about things? Probably not. However, it suffices for me, and I find the new interface more than workable. I wouldn't consider using any alternative media player myself. As for locating tracks in the library, I tend to use the search box, but the radio buttons are certainly another option. Think of them as very much like the row of buttons at the bottom of your iPhone music player. They might actually resemble an iPad interface more than the iPhone, for all I know. YOurs, Zack.
