Hi Gordon, There is only one thing worse than iTunes 11, and that's the Podcasts app on IOS. I described iTunes 11 on twitter recently thus:
"if an undergraduate submitted this as a final year project I'd fail it". I stand by that assertion. Leaving voiceover out of it, the UI doesn't work. I've had all kinds of problems, not the least being my failure to create a new Apple ID for my mother recently because fields were removed from the tab order, and VO wouldn't put the correct data in the correct field. For example, I was entering my mum's city of residence followed by the county, however I couldn't get to the county at all. So you're not alone, iTunes 11 is **** (four letter word comprising the letter S followed by the word hit).
