THE LATEST VERSION OF ITUNES IS AWFUL

Question

We have all been using iTunes for many years now and can use it.  We can even teach OAP's how to use it.  Our primary school children can use it.
WHY HAVE YOU CHANGED IT ???????
As a person who has used iTunes for years, the new version is not intuitive. it is painful to add more than one CD, trying to find out how to create or add to an existing playlist is a chore.
My major nightmare is that the hundreds of friends and their children that I have taught to use the last/previous versions of iTunes are going to need re-training and I think the new version is SH*TE.
How can I backtrack and tell everyone else how to do it too????
NOT A HAPPY APPLE :-(

Answer 1

Someone gave me the Mac Format magazine (Jan 2013), which contained a complete guide to iTunes 11.
One section was "Get the old look back".  It stated that it was possible to tweak the interface to get the old look back by:-
1.  Be on Music view and select Songs tab at top of window.
2.  Click on the View menu.  (Mine was hidden, but if you click on the dropdown arrow in the top left-hand corner the option is there to show the Menu Bar).
3.  Click on Show Sidebar, then click on Show Status Bar.
This should make iTunes look like the old version.
Hope this helps others :-)
Slightly happier Apple!
