		<title>TidBITS: Comments on iTunes 11: The Features Apple Removed, and Alternatives</title>
		<link>http://tidbits.com/</link>
		<description>Although many people like the look of iTunes 11, and are finding that most of iTunes 10’s features have been brought forward in some way or another, there are a number of features that Apple removed entirely. If the lack of those features is a problem for you, read on for such solutions as we could find.</description>

			<description><![CDATA[Adam:<br><br>The older iTunes had a feature we used constantly at work. It was clumsy as hell but workable.<br><br>Mount an iPhone, go to apps, scroll down and see the files associated with the apps. Drag wanted files to the desktop.<br><br>(Another reporter wanted to get an interview out of Voice Memo. Ugh. Can't be e-mailed out. Too large. We finally got it. I forget how.)<br><br>But with Instant Recorder or any other app where you might want to copy a file out (or in?) it's a problem.<br><br>It simply seems to be missing. Well, let me know if you want me to compare some of the apparent replacements for this from the 3rd party utility world.]]></description>

That’s gone in iTunes 11, not surprisingly, since it could have resulted in three left sidebars in certain views, which would have made usability engineers cry."<br><br>This user is crying because Apple took this feature away.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The new search feature doesn't allow you to highlight and copy multiple songs that are being searched. To make it worse, every time I click off the search menu, my search gets erased. For example, I am trying to create a Classical Piano CD for my mother for Christmas. I type in piano in search and have to choose them one at a time (in previous versions I would be able to select multiple songs and import them into my new CD playlist.) If I click anywhere else on the page, my search is deleted and I have to type it in again, find where I was in the list of songs and continue adding them individually. What a waste of time. (Edit: I just realized what a first world problem this is. Oh well, the end is nigh)]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Ok.  So no one has talked about these issues anywhere so I'm not sure if I'm just being stupid...<br>But when I'm in a playlist and I'm looking for a song in a playlist to organize I can't just show a particular artist in a playlist anymore.   When I type in the artist it brings me back to the main library.  It has become so hard to organize my playlists now.<br>Also, genius no longer suggests songs to buy based on the song you're currently listening to?  That was one of my favorite things to do.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[- Playlists can only be used as drop targets when they're in the full unhidden Sidebar and not in the limited Music &gt; Playlists pane's sidebar. So, a hidden Sidebar means losing the convenience of dropping content on non-active playlists.<br><br>- Plenty of column widths could use resizing in certain views, but that's always been a tedious (while optional) endeavor.   The combination of automatic (un)hiding scrollbars and v11's UI makes it tougher than before to adjust the far right column with max width that avoids horizontal scrolling.<br><br>- Unlike every previous update, this one messed up sort order in some manually sorted playlists, which unfortunately included the largest.<br>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Ugh, I loved iTunes DJ!! iTunes DJ was an enormous hit at parties, and never failed to blow away guests. I always figured it must surely be the most popular feature of iTunes. I hope Apple restores the ability to give guests permission to vote songs higher in the playlist -- without giving them complete control of iTunes (giving guests song skipping and particularly volume privilages can lead to BIG problems later in the night). I won't be upgrading my iTunes until DJ makes a comeback.]]></description>
