iTunes 11

After a month's delay of release, finally we are getting the all new updated iTunes 11! It has a very new interface and a lot of cool new features which brought down it's predecessor iTunes 10.7. Let's all take a closer look of how this new improved iTunes work and whether we'd give Apple another thumbs up or a thumbs down.

Say goodbye to the old iTunes 10 and greet a the new iTunes 11 a big hello!

The all new and improved iTunes 11

It's time to let go of the ever famous cover flow which iTunes definitely is famous for since its first release. I guess Apple had the idea of overhauling the application to fit to the new interfaces of the iOS 6. The design is basically very similar to iPad music players but what's great with this new version is that it has that very smooth feel. 

Choosing for songs, albums, artists and playlists became much easier since everything you need is just a click away at the very top. The menu bar was even hidden to maintain its neatness and classy environment. 

There was no exact replacement for the cover flow since if you would want to check out the album artwork, you would have to manually click on the album cover located near the player controls to pop-up a new window which would show the album artwork and another set of controls. That's kind of confusing for new users but I'm sure everybody will get the hang of it.

The feature which I absolutely like about iTunes 11 is the albums tab. Yeah, it looks more of the album tab of your iPad music player, but hidden in it is a feature where a list of songs from an album is shown differently. And for every album, the color scheme changes depending on the color scheme of the album. 

Choosing for a particular artist is even easier with iTunes 11 since everything is now a scroll away. Playing your favorite song as a next track is now more convenient since you can just click on a song which you would want to be played next and it automatically is being added on a queue.

So many cool features are in store for the new iTunes. Check it out by updating your old iTunes. For me, it's definitely a great update for everyone. I would say this is an early holiday gift from Apple.
