I was pleased to have identified Still's work before reading the description (though, admittedly, I mentally misspelled his name "Styll" for an unsurprising reason).

Yes, Doofy, hence my question above. I respect Gp's complaint that the pull-down menu to switch between song and album views is more annoying than a direct button-click, but all-told the interface differences seem relatively minor.

This displays the relevant screenshot. I don't recall the nuances of behavior that Gp is describing in 10 or 11, I just know that the sidebar is usable like I always used it, as the main functional interface: playlist sidebar plus song list.Gp, what I'm saying is, afaict, there is not a "no sidebar" issue in 12. I understand the sidebar to be the bar on the left with all your playlists there. And 12 can display that no problem. So either I misunderstand what people are complaining abou…I'm not sure I understand the "no sidebar" complaints. Aside from some menu and display changes, you can have it display the Playlists sidebar easily (click the 'Playlists' button). What items that people liked to access easily in 11 aren't availabl…Gp, I'm unfamiliar with "rollover benefits". If you have full rollover, than an arbitrary sub level doesn't matter, right? But perhaps I don't know what you mean. I've been on an annual plan for ages, still obviously the best deal, with I suppose th…I don't think we disagree on the impact of culture - I didn't mean to imply it wasn't heavily involved. Perhaps I mistook a connotation from your earlier comments - it seemed to me that you (and I've seen others even more explicitly) may have found …@Gp, I don't disagree with your statement above, but would not agree here with your statement: "Funny how representation is coded so differently in the different artistic media." - I …The infamous, hilarious awfulness of Black's "Friday" surely would have overwhelmed any possible exemplifying point desired for a class.
I'm not trying to reduce anything but the apparent mystery. One can identify aural and visual arts that seem to intellectually bear resemblance, and investigate similar ideas, themes, approaches - my claim is only that no one should expect people to…Gp/rostasi: I don't mean to comment on the specifics of your discussion, but I immediately think that wondering about how people treat visual and aural arts differently must start by recognizing that different parts of the brain are associate…At least for annual subscribers (like me), the vast majority of emusic prices are significantly lower than competitors'. Assuming the catalog offerings satisfy, it's a no-brainer option for the merely cost-conscious.

Partly grew up on them (born 1968 to a jazz-loving father).Apple's force-feeding, I think - not U2. U2 likely chose this route under cost-benefit analysis (I'm assuming they didn't "give" it to Apple), and Apple is trying a new delivery mechanism for big pop bands, possibly as an investigative loss-leader. …Doofy, I'm jealous, missed that. I like Ellis's work a lot.I'm skeptical it would go "phones all the way" - the Touch is the iPhone minus the phone, and frankly, I'd guess there will long remain at least a sizable kid-market (specifically, offspring-of-parents-not-wanting-their-kids-with-phones) for a non-p…I must admit that I feel skeptical that it would be difficult to adapt to having, say, merely 64 GB of portable storage than double that. Most large libraries (I bet most here) are already larger than a big Classic (iTunes says mine's 337gb), so one…Yeah, seems buggy. I got around it by refreshing, and clicking the button in the half-second it said "Free" before it switched to the grayed-out "Purchased". That worked on my laptop, but it's obviously a messed up interface currently.This just came up in my shuffle, one of my favorites, feel driven to share: Warwick/Bacharach/David - "Anyone Who Had a Heart"Great footage of Thelonious Monk's quartet in Belgium(?) 1965(?).Never bothered me to scrobble on sync-only. Definitely not a benefit worth sacrificing battery life for, imo! And I guess I actually enjoy watching the stat bump (comparing before/after last-7-days) after 50 scrobbles are added.Yeah, iTunes Sharing's inability to handle large libraries is a known bug. Unfortunate and longstanding.(Btw, that's what I was referring to when I wrote "Also, there's a iTunes setting under Prefs-Store for that, I think." Gp, are they iCloud tracks? On your touch, go to Settings -> Music and make sure you uncheck 'Show All Music'. Also, there's a iTunes setting under Prefs-Store for that, I think. Just guessing.Apropos of little besides the subject of iTunes, one smart playlist of mine amuses me: "Not heard in >10 years". 60 tracks. Feels odd to have the capacity to measure that set so easily.

I 'Download Album', and it just sits that at "Downloaded 0 of 8" or whatever. No other sign of problems, but no progress.This discussion did lead me to check on unintended "strays" unchecked, and I found a large handful...
