Strange new sidebar shortcuts in iTunes 7
These shortcuts are very strange indeed, and it would be nice to have a more unified and universal list tucked away under a menu somewhere, so the shortcuts worked no matter what you were doing in iTunes, or what was selected. Still, if you're interested, check out Mac OS X Hint's list of shortcuts found so far.

I also miss Apple-1, but alternatiely, you can use Apple-L.
If you have a song playing this shortcut will take you to the song currently playing, and will "reveal" the main window in order to do so.
I agree with Stevan. I really miss the command-1 function. The minimize doesn't even come close. Does anyone know of anything that replaces them in iTunes 7?

Want to go to your TV show library? Type T-V (assuming you don't have a playlist that starts with TV - then the shortcut will go to that instead). Need to get to the iTunes Store? Type i-T (or however much or little you want to) and it will select it for you.
Someone mentioned it was a mistake - yeah, right.
iTunes 6 could play to multiple sources through airtunes

Not that I really minded the new look but I installed it anyway to see what it would look like with the old "lickable" buttons everyone loves.

dont know how well it works with two airport expresses but i had music on my laptop and my bathroom at same time.
looks really cool
This behaviour is probably a mistake. Just like a lot of things in the Seven.

I also miss Command-1. iTunes 7 uses this one for video (check the View-menu)
Slightly unrelated... something I miss that they took away is command-1 and command-2 keystrokes for opening the main playlist window and opening the equalizer. Now it's difficult, not as straight forward, to bring back the main window if you red button close it.
