A year ago, I compared the then-brand-new iTunes 9 against its predecessor. New year, new version of iTunes, so here’s an updated comparison. It’s amazing to see just how much visual tweaking Apple does with each new major version of the application.
I’ve also slightly redesigned the whole thing this year so that you can easily view last year’s comparison, and a fun 8 versus 10 version as well.
Here’s another, more interactive, comparison between iTunes 9 and iTunes 10. I’m taking notes for an upcoming blog article on my Quillink Observer about the newest iTunes, but lest I forget, let me add another detail I don’t particularly like: the smaller album artwork when in Album List view, combined with the album & artist info label on the side of the artwork instead of below. More often than not (and more often than before) you have to resize the artwork column to see the complete names. It’s irksome that this is the only option and that you can’t choose to have bigger artwork and the info below it, like before.
