I do. For classical music, it's worth it.

There are actually a lot of people who aren't using Spotify.
Spotify says they have 60 million active users with 15 million paid subscribers. Sounds good, right?
But there are well over a billion iOS and Android users on the planet.
In other words... don't be surprised. Spotify isn't as big or as ubiquitous as you think.
Interesting, Im not familiar with any 3rd party apps but I'll definitely try them out now.
Well, I used to do that, now I'm trying out Tidal's free trial and it seems pretty nice. Not many people listen to lossless audio though.
They've improved the 15-sec skip forward and backward gestures in iBooks.
No more trying to hit the little target icon -- simply swipe the album art to skip ahead or back.
And a new landscape view.
I think it's a positive step.
Only complaint is the loss of chapter titles. Hopefully that's a bug that will be fixed.
I wonder if they are ever gonna fix the video app, with the cover art not showing up. It's been like this on IOS 8 from day one, and while its not a big deal, it is annoying and unfinished looking.
The remote app had a similar issue with cover art, but was fixed last update and now works as before.
Deleted Keyboard shortcuts that always seem to return is another peeve of mine, but I guess if thats the worst I'm suffering through, I'm doing pretty good.

I fixed the cover art on vids by adding square art to all my shows.
As soon as I did that they showed just fine.
Sucks that they dropped support for rectangular artwork but that's what worked for me.
That is NOT a new font for Recently Played. Don't be fooled by all capitals.
It is Helvetica Neue with more kerning, maybe slightly more bold.

I don't understand all the iTunes hate. I have been using iTunes regularly for 12 years and I've never had a problem with it. I actually like the current version a lot. It's far more usable than the iOS Music app. It's much easier to navigate to the music I want to listen to, and I can stream to multiple speakers at once (which I can't do with iOS).
I think you don't really know what the words you use mean. It's not 'counter-intuitive' as in difficult-to-use, at best it might be a bit cumbersome but certainly not difficult to figure out how to use. And 'refuse' to re-instate implies that it is absolutely obvious what is the better solution. But if it evidently isn't blindingly obvious what is the better solution, otherwise the wouldn't have introduced the current scheme in the first place.
iTunes
Your music app...
That software updates devices..
Creates backup of the devices...
Manages your videos... And movies purchases...
Sync your stuff to devices... like photos... contacts...
Has an app store in it...
Do you notice a substantial difference, or any difference at all? Do you run it on your phone or any kind of high-end audio equipment?
In the General>About in settings the display bug of it showing you have as many videos as you do songs is fixed.
In the Music app they added a shuffle at the top of playlists and also while an artist is selected you can shuffle all songs of that artist in the "My Music" tab. They still need to add a shuffle to the top of all the "My Music" sometimes I want to shuffle everything I have. Only workaround for that right now is to make a separate playlist of everything in it.

THere's that and then a lot of my music isn't on Spotify, Pandora, or even iTunes.
That 'only show stored music' option seems to be the fix to the disappearing music gate. Odd that they'd release a build without this switch to begin with, knowing that it would mean people couldn't see their stored music without seeing all music in iCloud at the same time.
That new header style is very WATCH-like. I'm guessing we'll see more of these types of things in iOS 9.
