I don’t remember how long it was after I downloaded iTunes 12.2, that I tried to make a simple playlist on my Mac. I got totally pissed off that this simple task was no longer “intuitive.” I tried to open a new empty playlist, title it, and load music. There was no way to get either artists, songs, or albums, up so I could selected songs from them to move to my new playlist. How could some programmer screw this up? Where is the quality control in continuity? I googled, “I hate itunes 12,” and got a 2014 MacWorld article how to uninstall 12 and go back to version 11 by downloading and using Pacifist and App Zapper programs. After I did this my iPod gave me a message saying it no longer could connect unless I upgraded (back to) iTunes 12.2 (you can imagine my rage). So I plugged in my new iPad mini that I just paid $700 for. My iPad would not show up in “Devices” in iTunes 11. Now what the hell am I going to do with the three music libraries that no longer synchronize with each other? Saying that I am “Pissed,” is a little understated. I really don't like Apple forcing stuff on me and then penalizing when I don't. I definitely won't be buying into Apple Music after this experience. Where can I go to get my music (in non-lossy format) in one place again and share it with my other devices? Do I have to get rid of my three Apple products and go back to ****** PC MP-3 files?
