Hi I think this is just one of those cases of culture shock. Having used iTunes extensively for the last not far short of 8 years, and having seen the interface evolve into what was iTunes 10.7 which I regarded as excellent, I think the sudden and massive changes we're now faced with in the iTunes 11 interface, it just totally threw me. I'm slowly getting used to the interface and I have read with interest everybody's comments on list on this topic. Thank you all for your input, it has been appreciated. I think I just need to continue to familiarise myself with the new layout. But, I am encouraged by the fact that most others have managed to do so, by the sounds of things. So, again, thanks all for your input.

Ypou can turn on the side bar just as you had it in iTunes 10 if you like. I hope this is of some help.
