iTunes had become a Bloated POS joke.
Don't know about new apps but iTunes should have died 5 years ago!

iOS was even more weird. The podcasts app had this weird old tape real to real thing. It was just a mess

You mean this? I still don't get it. I think Apple wanted layers to Lion, like the mission control and dashboard were on a different layer than your desk top, and the linen was supposed to represent that. But why?

I forget that everywhere doesn’t have “fast” internet connection speeds. Restoring my 512 iPhone from iCloud takes about 3 days.... And I have no clue how long a fresh upload to iCloud will take.. I don’t even want to know. My message database alone is 132gb
That's the stuff.
Anyone who says that Steve Jobs' taste was infallible is delusional.
Agree. He was clearly important to history, but he wasn't perfect. And he had some terrible designs in his day. The Apple III was designed so terribly that it would overheat and not come back on. To me, that's a bigger failure than some keyboards. And of course, the entire Mac OS X Lion design.
It is reliable. I’ve been using iCloud backup since it has existed and regularly swap phones and the backup and recovery has always worked reliably. Always. It hasn’t failed once or given me any difficulty. It really does just work.

The original Macintosh came with a keyboard that didn't have arrow keys. He wanted people to use the mouse for absolutely everything, even when typing.
Great... all I need now is some actual broadband. Maybe Tim should buy up some ISPs if he's so into service provision. There may not be money to be made in stringing the cable but once that's done, it's probably subscription heaven around here, including renting space in the cloud for "whatever" including phone backups.
I know it has been said a lot in this thread, but as long as iTunes is essentially dead, I am happy!
I will gladly take these "Music" and "TV" apps over iTunes any day, and I have not even tried them out yet...obviously!
There is no saving iTunes. It is a bloated mess, however, I hope (as others are) that we can still do local iCloud backups in one of these apps. I personally would not mind a dedicated app for iCloud backups, but who knows what Apple is cooking up?!

I remember how much I liked iTunes 1.0 compared to what was available on Mac OS 9 at the time. I would like to get that same experience with this rebooted Music app.
The linen texture that began spreading like wildfire in 10.7 (Lion) was actually introduced in 10.4 (Tiger) as the background for Dashboard widget settings.
They better not remove smart playlist or that might be the end of my AM subscription. Would really like them to bring smart playlist functionality ios. Such a great feature for those that know about it and know how to use it. Definitely doesn't get the props it deserves.
Speaking of smart playlist, they have a BPM filtering option which would be great for exercise and possibly sleep/relaxing smart playlist. Would be really nice in AM included this in the meta information.

What I'm most curious about is: What is the benefit of the person leaking this? Are they getting money or something? I get reporters wanting to be the "first" with info, even something as mundane as this, but what's the benefit for the person on something pretty boring like this?
I would actually be interested in seeing an entire history of that pattern. From when it started, to when Apple completely got rid of it
And we might squish some “free Apple Music subscription” when connecting the internet with Apple broadband. Oh, net neutrality is gone? Good, because Apple Music streaming will rock on Apple broadband. YouTube? Twitch? Not so much.

Yeah good for you.
During a recent backup, I had to ask for EVERYONE ELSE not uploading anything for a whole night just to make sure the initial backup could be finished.
The whole point is iTunes local backup is necessary and it should remain as an option for a very long time.
Looks inconsistent. A Sync app is clearly needed. And the Music app should focus on local music files, not Apple Music.
You are so luck to get to experience iTunes 1.0.

They get to see the takeaway from their reporting turn into a 200 page thread in MacRumors?
If Apple will now kill iTunes, whatever some app named Music does on a desktop better be as good as what iTunes offered us on a desktop in 2001, i.e. before iOS ever said to an iPod (which initially ran something innocuously called Software 1.x.x) "oh I know, let's try to keep it simple"...
I welcome having the separate apps, but I don't have a problem with iTunes. It works great on both of my Macs. I don't think it's bloated at all.
