    Is it me or have they changed how to switch to the Mini Player? I used to be able to hit the green + button to toggle between full view and the mini player.

    The EQ has a “make preset” option now. Not sure if this was available before, but I know I’ve wanted it in the past..

  • schmolly

    To choose songs by genre, go to ‘View’, then ‘Columns’ and tick the ‘genre’ selection BUT think they have changed where the columns are -i can’t get them to go at the top of the screen, instead they are on the left! doesn’t look right …

    Tell us about the idiotic changes in Radio! Entire categories deleted and their stations scattered among other arcane groupings. Sure, go ahead and upgrade (?) then your music library is forever changed to V. 9 format and you’re stuck.

    Way to go, Apple!
