The songs list don't work in windows either, and as I said, when I wrote them, they were not very helpful. One rep even went as far as to say, why should we help you if you're not using our product. I'm like egg, ***ing skeuze me? I'm using ITunes, that's? your product! Thank you very greatly? It's like, you're using Windows. Why should we support so a junky OS. those were there exact words, and when I asked for a supervisor, he said, well, though I don't agree with how the rep worded it, I agree totally with her concept. We're not fixing something that isn't for our OS.

I have found that you can't tab into the playlist browser like you used to either... I'd really like to get this back.
