Absolutely Hate iTunes 12 - Anyone Else?

[carolrmag]

Wish I can go back to version 10.7

I HATE it so much!
What the F*** is happening?? Why are they making our lives miserable with these updates that only make the service worst???
Am on a mission impossible of trying to sync my mac's playlists with my iphone's. Been searching online for help but the interface changed so much that there isn't a single page that can really help me.
SO frustrated...

I've settled for iTunes 10.4.1 on all my Macs (5 going back to 2005).
It's the last version that doesn't pester you about not having an internet connection when you start up.
It also allows multiple windows, cover flow, and album art views larger than 600X600.
It's not so good at Apple-Genius-Radio-Cloud-Share-Purchase, or whatever it's called and syncing with iOS 9 point something. Which is why I also keep a copy of iTunes 12.3 around. They share a single prefs file, but I call one iTunes and the other myTunes. you can guess which is which. Only one version can be run at a time, and I have to be careful about holding down the option key to switch libraries when I switch versions, but it mostly works pretty well, both for listening to my library, and for purchasing stuff for and syncing with shiny new devices.
