It’s nice to see democracy in action. Apple should fear us, without us they are nothing.

And maybe that the miniplayer behaviour is easier to understand than the standard “fit to content”.

Anyway it is really silly to release two versions in a week for this thing.

pd:poor english, yeah

If enough of us complain will they revert that horrid, glassy ui?

They are responding to the desires or their users; it would take MS 12 months to do that. Consistency has its place but not as an excuse to replace progress. Those of us that use the Mini-player use the green + button 100 times every day, I can’t imagine anyone wanting to do that with a resize button.

I have nothing against the mini-player, but it should be an option-click or easy kb command, NOT the standard behaviour (unlike absolutely EVERYTHING ELSE in OS X).

This is an example of Apple being more like MS than being like Apple, IMHO. “Standards? What are those? The sheeple want simple, so let’s give it to em and the heck with consistency!”

It all comes down to how you define “standard” and “user” states—for those of us that submitted feedback to Apple within minutes of running iT 9 it is obvious the we think of the user-state as being the miniplayer. I only drop into standard mode to arrange tracks and playlists; most of the time I just want quick and convient access to playback controls.

If only Apple would listen about truly important issues those that affect work-flow efficiency; my biggest complaint is SL abandoment of creator-codes.

I typically start some music and switch to the mini-player so it’s quicker to the desktop. I’m glad the functionality is back.
