 Who? I've seen that name mentioned before - no idea. In other news, since the Head-Fi Maintenance that took place 2-3 hours ago, I'm experiencing constant Lock-ups (computer freezes; must reboot). Surfing lasts appx 10-12 minutes. 
 
The fourth time I logged on, I stayed away from HF and went a full hour with incident. Logged back into to HF and...locked up again.

Just got back here, let's see how long I can go!

Actually I take back what I said about iTunes 11. The new available options in Album mode are pretty convenient. I'm still trying to figure out the playlist thing though. If I play music through Album mode, is there any way for iTunes to play through all of your music rather than all of the music in that particular album?

In "Album" mode, Right-click > select "Up Next" mode, then you'll have continuous play from current album selection to the next...

Ah cool, that works. Thanks!
I just realized that iTunes 10 had an "Album" icon mode too and I just never used it because "Cover Flow" list view was more convenient. In that sense, iTunes 11 really improves the usability of the "Album" mode.

In my view, Amarra 2.4.0 and the few previous versions were too busy; too tizzy. I find the latest version to be the best - they dialed it down in the mix. So, I went ahead have both Amarra & iTunes updated.

iTunes 11 works fine with 2.4.3 and 2.5. No idea about earlier versions though.
 
The way I use iTunes I see nothing new. I always use list view with sidebar and column browser. I always considered the column browser to be the main strength of iTunes as a music manager/player.

Okay, I just updated to Amarra 2.4.4 and it does sound slightly richer to me.  But I would not have called 2.4.0 tizzy or anything like that.  I'm still on iTunes 10.7 for now, with OSX 10.8.2 on retina MBP.

You're absolutely right to point that out. I should have thrown in the usual disclaimer, "In my setup, I find Amarra to sound like..."
