My older version of iTunes kept crashing and after a really long time I finally gave in and decided to install a new version - I was stupid enough to think that it might be an improvement. Well, of course no new version is ever an improvement on the previous version...
The new iTunes looks worse, album infos are not shown as conveniently as before, I can't browse the library as well as before, the album cover scroll feature is gone, the Most Played Songs feature is gone, in fact I can't even see the number of albums and songs I have in my library anymore. What idiot thought that it would be an improvement to take away the list of tracks you have played the most? How is it good that you can't see anymore how many songs there are in your iTunes?
When it installed the new version it "organized" my library without asking my permission, and of course it screwed everything up as it filled in fields I did not want to have there. For example it filled all of those useless Album Artist fields so that every Miles Davis album is now listed with the letter M and not D - apparently it's unknown to iTunes that people are put in alphabetical order by their last name and not first. It's only about erasing the Album Artist field (and every other field it annoyingly filled out without asking from me) but since I have almost 2000 albums in my library it's going to take AGES to fix up the library.
All the worthless non-genres that I had carefully edited out (like "Easy listening", "Books & spoken" and "Children's music") are back with a new as stupid addition, "Christmas", so I have to do that again too...
Plus when it was messing up my library I could see the amount of songs it was "organising" and it was about 10 songs less than there should be in my library, so it looks like the new iTunes deleted some songs from my library, but as I can no longer see the total number of songs I can't be sure of it... and I can't know which songs it would have deleted. It deleted one album cover as well.
All the features and functions of the old iTunes were fine so why did they feel a need to make a new version that is clearly worse than the previous one? Do they have such an obsession for putting out new versions that if they can't improve it anymore, they start to go backwards and deliberately make worse versions?
This angers me and I want to have an older version of iTunes that was better... does anyone know where I can get one? Actually I tried to put the old one back but it gave me an error message and said that it won't install it because there is a newer version available... so that could be a problem. I just want to have a good version of iTunes that won't crash. (The iTunes on my older computer NEVER crashed, but when I got a laptop that version was the one that started crashing.) Thanks for reading this rant.
