iTunes received an incremental update today with version 11.0.3.  New to iTunes is an updated miniplayer, which focuses on album art, and increased performance for large libraries.

The most noticeable update is the miniplayer. Users can now expand the miniplayer to focus on the album art and can still manipulate songs in the play queue. To activate the album art view, just hover over the album art thumbnail in the miniplayer to see the controls. Click on it and the album art will expand while swapping the gray interface with a black one.

Another nice thing about the new miniplayer is that the progress bar is back. Apple inexplicably removed this during the iTunes 11 update and we’re glad to see it’s back.

Other changes in iTunes 11.0.3 include showing album art in the song view and organizing multiple disc albums as one. There’s also a new interface for updating iOS apps. Updates will now show up in their own tab under the Apps section.

The update is available now for PC and Mac.
