[sussex_mug] Re: does iTunes 9 suck on your machine too?

The longer time to load the store is right as there's more going on behind the scenes I think and I've actually just sent feedback to Apple saying that sometimes the text overwrites the text below it, not very often but it happens. However, this is not iTunes 9 alone - this is the fact that iTunes 9 and a huge change to the iTunes Store happened simultaneously. iTunes on your Mac when not accessing the store is pretty much as it was before apart from a few tweaks here and there. The way of choosing tracks is much easier in my view - what are you finding complicated? The only buying difference is that there is no longer a Shopping Basket so as below you click the play button on the left to listen to that track, click Buy to buy the track, or right click on the down arrow to add to wish list (great feature!) or whatever. I've also noticed that the DRM track upgrade feature seems to have died, but that definitely happened for me before iTunes 9 - mine sadly stopped updating about 5 months back.
