Welcome to my go around on Watercooler Wednesday! Click HERE to become part of the cooler!
Instead of some of the heavier things I've been pondering, I think I'll take a step towards something a little less... heavy?
So yesterday I downloaded iTunes v 8. While I like the way that they're trying to design it to be more like the iPhone and iPod Touch, it is... pretty much a useless update from what I've seen.
I tried to activate the Genius feature, yet it told me that it couldn't finish the operation. And I've heard this complaint from others. My question is - has anyone been successful in utilizing this feature that is reminicient of Pandora or Last.fm?
Another immediate critique I have is that I like to have my mini player showing on my screen throughout the work day so that I have complete control over it, yet have the no impact on my productivity. Every once in a while, I'll change playlists or genres, and when I want to go back to the mini player, I knew the exact route to take to get it there. Well they moved where that feature is and now it takes twice as long to get to the feature, though they did put some key shortcuts in for it, it's not as natural... This will probably be something I have to just get used to.
Well - I'm off to learn the wonders of biology from the perspective of hands on learning. Yay for labs!! (ugh...)
Let me know what you think of the upgrade. Was it a creative new way to play with your music or a hindrance in your listening pleasure?

I really don't see that much difference either, other then the reddish/purple color behind all my lists. I'd love a way to get rid of that. Either make it the original color or have some choice over what the color is.
