Gah! Ugly new iTunes :(

Postby IBBoard at 12 Sep 2005, 14:48

Damnit, I just downloaded iTunes 5.0 because I decided I should after skipping 4.8 and 4.8, and I wish I hadn't :\

It mentions that it has a "streamlined interface" or something similar - what they really mean is that they removed any extra space that separated things! You now get a couple of pixes outside border, one pixel separating source list from track list, File, Edit menus etc all in a line with the program name (so no 'title bar') and the former LCD screen is now half white and half green :\

I'm going to have to see if I can get 4.7 or 4.8 installed back again.

[edit] OK, uninstalled iTunes (having exported my library to XML first) and reinstalled 4.7.1. Much better, now it looks like real iTunes instead of someone-removed-half-of-the-interface-in-cost-cutting-exercises-and-sod-the-final-look iTunes :)

Personally, I wouldn't bother. Luckily I keep all of my old installers, so I've got 4.7.1 installed again (got 4.6 as well, but didn't download 4.8 or 4.9). I'd check out some of their interface screenies - they're bound to have some somewhere.

Oh, and welcome back - long time no see with you over in Sheffield again :D
