Hi, I've just updated to Yosemite and am having a bit of trouble with iTunes. How do you see songs in your playlists? I can select the playlist in the table, but can't find the actual songs. I'm not finding these iTunes changes particularly wonderful, as it's slower to navigate around, but I guess I'll get used to it. It's all accessible, just less intuitive to me.
I hope somebody does a podcast on navigating iTunes or something as I would find this really helpful. By the way, I'm on a 2011 Macbook pro using Karen with very little lag. I did repair disk permissions.
