Apple Releases iTunes 12.4 With Minor Design Enhancements

No word on whether or not today's release includes safeguards that prevent the deletion of a user's music library.

Apple is rumored to be working on a larger revamp of iTunes and Apple Music, which set to launch later this year.

Why can't they just make it easy to put media on my phone without having to set it up to "sync" everything? I just want to put it on when i want it on and take it off when i am done. Why does that have to be so difficult?

Probably wants to help out in case of a stuck on apple logo after a reset.

I been SO FRUSTRATED with Itunes. Putting music into my play list so I can get it into my iphone is like a nightmare for me. Besides having to move a song into my playlist, I then have to put it into my playlist and then have to find a folder I have made for make a new folder, and try to get the imported song into that folder. Sounds simple but it isn't. Doesn't work smoothly. Also Itunes is way too busy visually. And something goes on when I find a song then my play list disappears or if i am in my playlist I have to go back to search to find my song and thre is a way to find the song and see my playlist at the same time, but I can never remember what the secret is to do this. It is a mess and has been for a long time. I hope some MAJOR improvements are made to simplify the whole application.
