Mac Tablet!!! ~ iPad Thread

Pretty much a given, I'm hoping for something new and mind blowing too.

I heard that Apple was going to call it the "iPod Maxi", but because of the obvious connection to feminine products, they went with "iPad Mini"...

Updated to the newest version of iTunes today, totally hate it. It is conflating my iPod and iPad libraries which I keep separate, and can't access 95% of my iPod library.

Going to be a long day figuring this out  :-( Love iTunes, but I don't know why they reinvent the fucking wheel with each new version.

It took me a while to sort out where everything was, but I think the re-design makes sense.

I hope by the time they roll out iTunes 12 they rebrand it and figure out a way to separate the music player from the iOS device manager.

I've been ignoring the update cue on my Mac. Is this the update you're talking about?

I did notice I had trouble finding certain albums on my phone (under the artist tab)about a month ago. Took me a while to figure out and it still isn't quite right. For instance, A Hard Days Night comes out as unknown album. This is an improvement over not showing up at all under the Beatles

Yes.

Took some research and a tutorial which I haven't needed to do since I bought my first iPod eons ago, but I am more comfortable with this now. Toggling between libraries on a Windows Vista machine was never easy to do, and seems harder now, but I do appreciate the change in font, and I re-established to the best extent possible the look of older versions. I can see getting used to how they have albums sorted if I can ever come up with artwork for everything. I have never found anything better to manage music than iTunes, and really dislike when they mess with that portion of the software. When it becomes a chore, screws everything up downstream.

now that you've had some time with this, is it worth the update or should I continue to skip it?

Got my wife an ipad mini for xmas.  I know they are coming out with a new one in March, but this thing is sweet!

If you do update iTunes, the first thing you might want to do is un-hide the sidebar, the by-default absence of which really jarred me at first.

[mattstick]

My biggest complaint with new iTunes is the new search function which is totally useless now, and the removal of the "stats" at the bottom of the pane.

I would hold off, I am really not seeing the benefit yet  :|
