iTunes 11 and Notification Center
Pavan Rajam wrote an interesting piece wondering why iTunes 11 doesn’t take advantage of Mountain Lion’s notification center.
Presumably because iTunes 11 also has to run on Windows and older versions of OS X?
Because the mini player is not a notification. None of his suggestions make any sense. If he wants to save screen space, hide iTunes altogether and use the F-leys to control it, or get a third party menu extra.
I don’t need notifications that a song is changing, because I can hear it change. I can look at my iDevice to see if it is finished synchronizing, and billing comes in an email where I get a notification anyway.
He seems to be confusing Notification Center with the Windows Vista sidebar. No, thank you.
My thought exactly. Consistent experience and no having to rewrite/update several versions. This ain’t Android after all
how about notification when a movie downloads (after 15 minutes). that would be nice, wouldn’t it.
