In iTunes 10, I had the Column Browser (the list of Artists/Albums) going down the left side of the main iTunes window. With the install of iTunes 11, it is back to the top.

I tried going View>Column Browser>.... and the option is not there, and its not in the preferences either. Anyone see a way to get it back on the left side?

    You used to be able to toggle the column browser between the left and top...I cannot find the option now to move it back to the left, it's always on the top. VERY disappointed. Having the column browser on the left allowed you to see far, far more artists and albums at once in the list. Has anyone found the option? –  Nov 30 '12 at 13:49

    Doesn't appear to be possible yet in iTunes 11. You can downgrade to 10.7 at your own risk. – John McCarthy Dec 04 '12 at 18:36

    @nondescript1 For now, I think you are right. I have submitted the request on Apple's feedback page to bring this back, I encourage anyone else that wants this feature back to do the same. – tarheel Dec 06 '12 at 02:57

    Horrible update. Horrible. More flatness and more loss of usability / functionality. These companies will never learn. – Taptronic Dec 23 '14 at 18:07

You cannot bring back the left-side column browser. It is not possible in iTunes 11. The closest approximation I have found is to go to "Artists" view and enable the Sidebar (under the View menu). You can also downgrade to iTunes 10, depending on your system but that can present its own problems.

Under 11.0.2 when library is selected choose view and select column browser then choose show column browser. .

If you switch to the Songs menu at the top and hit command-b you will bring up the column browser. If you want the old look, turn the sidebar on again as well.
