![]() Worked a treat for me and I now have my beloved D.J. “You have to replace the current l file with one of the older backups in the “Previous iTunes Libraries” folder.” Nevertheless a few people on the discussion thread on Apple came up with a solution which involved making sure you remove the “newer,” version of the i-Tunes Library from the “i-Tunes Libraries,” which are listed in the i-Tunes Folder, leaving the one which you previously had for 10.7 in place, which would then be recognized by the re-installed 10.7 when you try to open it. However, when I tried to un-install 11 and re-install 10.7 I kept getting error messages whenever I tried to open it about “the library belonging to a newer version,”.and for a moment thought I was destined to fail. which I always used to throw up random songs from my pretty vast library, which I then manually transferred to dedicated Playlists for use on my iPod through my home stereo, or in the car. There’s a lot of griping going on on the Apple discussion forums regarding the loss of D.J. I was totally hacked off within a few minutes of “upgrading,” to 11. While you can click-and-drag to reorder in “Up Next”, it’s far less configurable – matter of fact, I couldn’t find any settings in Preference that control the Up Next functionality. The beauty of the iTunes DJ implementation was that it acted like a special Smart Playlist, which you could see both currently queued and previously played songs in one view, and easily drag-and-drop songs in the queue to rearrange their play order along with dragging new songs into the queue to play them in the order you want. ![]() The “Up Next” functionality that Apple replaced it with is NOT a suitable replacement for iTunes DJ. Removal of iTunes DJ is a huge mistake: it was the only feature of iTunes that actually kept me using it as a media player instead of using a non-Apple one. Can I downgrade back to iTunes 10.7? Thankfully, the iPhone wiki has an excellent list of Apple’s direct download links for past versions! Later, I’ll figure out how to uninstall this abomination and downgrade. I just accepted the upgrade to iTunes 11 this morning, and am so incredibly disappointed.
