iTunes 11 is Available!

iTunes 11 has finally arrived, nearly a month after it was originally promised because of the need to "get it right" according to Apple. The app promises a redesigned store, simplified layout, and more.

New icon:



New Features:

- Bye, Bye Sidebar (I'll miss you!)
- Redeem gift cards by taking a picture of it (iOS and Mac cameras), woot!
- New minimized player with added functionality.
- Bye, Bye Cover Flow, hey there Expanded view, with color matching and album art.
- Bye, Bye Party Shuffle, new is 'Up Next'.
- Streamlined AirPlay to AppleTV.

Swoon, I think I am in love.

I hated the new interface. I think they tried to simplify the controls too much. Also I really hate that they make it a pain and update the database file so you have to work to get your playlists and such back properly.

I really need to get on finding a better solution because iTunes just keeps getting more and more bloated.

that doesn't complain about not being able to connect to the iTunes Store whenever I am off the Internet.
