What’s New In iTunes 11.0.1

Most of the people who’ve tried iTunes 11 like the simplified interface and greatly improved navigation. As with all major updates, however, new issues get introduced and Apple has stepped up with a point release to set at least some of the problems right.

Irrelevant? Some people think so. Yet iTunes 11 has been generally praised — I am very much liking the the new UI and more plentiful keyboard shortcuts (link below).

Nevertheless, the simple fact of life is that software is never finished and Apple has delivered a bug fix covering at least some of the issues introduced with iTunes 11, notably bringing back the option to “display duplicate items.”

It’s a simple feature, but one that users have come to rely on over the years — “Display Duplicate Items.” Granted there shouldn’t be a need for it, yet it’s back and there will be much rejoicing…
