An improvement in iTunes 12

[LarryR]

I've been using iTunes 12 for about a month now, and I don't find it anywhere near as horrible as I expected. At least for the ways I use it, once I found the right combination of settings (with the help of Kirk's book and columns), it isn't much different than version 11. I do find it works more smoothly and doesn't slow up as version 11 tended to (I'm using a 6-year old iMac with Mountain Lion).

 

One thing I only noticed recently is that in the info window, in tags like Artist and Composer, when I type the first few characters, I see a selection list of all the matching entries in my library. Formerly, only the first entry showed up, and I found that very frustrating. This is a small but significant improvement for me.

Yes, I'm not sure if I mentioned that when I review iTunes 12 for Macworld, but it is something that saves me a lot of time.
