What I Found
iTunes 11 brings a cleaner visual redesign, album-focused browsing, a compact mini player, and a refreshed store.
iTunes 11 finally arrived, and the first question I had was pretty simple: is this really a major redesign, or is it mostly a cleaner coat of paint on the same iTunes underneath?
The quick answer is that iTunes 11 looks noticeably cleaner and more modern, but a lot of the underlying structure still feels familiar. The install was smooth, under 200 MB, and I did not see any obvious library database conversion during the first launch.
