With my 200 GB/ 50k song library, iTunes is absolutely unusable, and I completely abandoned it last year. * Sometimes you can link to a playlist to share it and sometimes you can't. * Playlists that contain both Apple Music tracks and purchased tracks flake out and vanish, which means that if you have a large collection of purchased music, playlists just don't work. * Ridiculous incoherent "Playlists / For You / New / Radio / Connect / iTunes Store" menu. * I'm a "Match" customer, and iTunes/iCloud/whatever doggedly insists on retaining the file-based metadata from my old MP3s, despite me not having had those MP3s in years. * Purchased tracks randomly grey out and become non-playable. But then, why not just use Spotify?Īnyways: predicting where this thread is inevitably heading, here's a list off the top of my head of shit that drives me nuts about iTunes: Hating iTunes so much you can't use it makes sense to me. I had a gigantic collection of purchased music on my computer, and it's more an annoyance now than anything else.

I'm not sure I really understand the people who use alternate music player software on OS X huge collections of downloaded music files accessed through file player software doesn't seem like where digital music is headed. But I'm probably not going to be able to stop using it any time soon. I would be thrilled to hear that Apple is totally revamping iTunes I swear at it at least a couple times a week.

Apple also has the benefit of iTunes/Apple Music being closer to a first-class citizen on things like car bluetooth audio systems. But purely in terms of content, Apple Music is probably the best streaming service, and their recommendation system is getting better. I'm an Apple fan, I admit, but iTunes is a fucking train wreck. Thankfully I usually do all my purchasing (on Amazon MP3) on the Macbook anyway so it's of little consequence, but it's just one more irritating thing to add to the list. Because iTunes insists on owning the directory and file structure though, I can't just point it at the folder or it will literally ruin it, I have to instead keep two copies of my library on my Macbook, and occasionally use an rsync alias to move over new stuff.
Windows and Linux this is absolutely not an issue. Not to mention, as an owner of multiple machines I prefer to use ownCloud to sync my various libraries. The navigation and structure changes with every movement, there are occasionally two seperate back buttons present that can either do the same thing or completely different things, the "background activity" or as I like to call it, "What you need to know is happening to your iPhone" is constantly buried beneath the currently playing track, and is not readily accessible unless you click a 8pt square down arrow, on and on.
You can go down the list of the recommendations Apple gives out to developers on how make what they consider great apps for OS X and iTunes breaks every single one almost as if it were intended as a use case for terrible UX.

ITunes as an application is by far the worst UX present on a Mac or a PC, which is especially surprising considering how nice the vast majority of OS X apps are to use.
