All reviews for iTunes

12.12.3 has been problematic. Frequent connection issues with iTunes Remote app, and locking up of iTunes app on PC for no apparent reason. In addition this release seems to interfere with other apps, such as myTuner Radio that also feed to Apple TV via HomeShare.

I solved all these problems by rolling back to iTunes 12.10.11.12.

Issue for me(and some others on Reddit) with this update...won't run and tells me to reinstall but that doesn't work. I recommend waiting to see if there is another update. Because iTunes does not allow you install an older version if you encounter issues you are forced to uninstall and then reinstall the previous version.

The only thing worth about it is the he-aac encoder, the rest of it is garbage and will screw up your system, especially after deciding to remove it. Even a prior system restore(50/50 success rate on any screw up!) set before an install of it won't restore your registry. Just look at the size of the install file. My advice is to avoid it.

The link in the original post for the "iTunes version 12.9.6 for Mac oS" was a direct link to the Apple page to download the Mojave oS....NOT an iTunes download.

Upgrade destroyed my library.itl (index). Reloading a very large ITunes library (200,000+) is taking forever....really: days and days.
Net: upgrade screwed me over (have been using ITunes for years) and made it MUCH harder to recover. Bad Apple.

iTunes has a one of the best AAC-LC or HE-AAC encoder compared to other available freewares. Indeed, this is the only feature which is useful. The rest is crap.

I agree, iTunes sucks. It may be free but it still isn't good value. It forces you to do things the "Apple Way", and that is very limited. I use CopyTrans Manager, which is also free, and it's easier to use (for me at least). Since it requires no installation it also doesn't screw up your system like iTunes. And most importantly it won't randomly tell you have to remove all of your data on your iPod because it seems to have forgotten that you used iTunes to load your iPod in the first place, and on the same PC to boot. The only reason I have an iPod in the first place is no car audio manufacturers make a stereo compatible with my superior sounding Zune, and iTunes only added insult to injury.

Itunes is overly advertised and overestimated. I stopped using it long time ago. Puts too much stuff on your machine and creates specific dependencies. Why bother when there are other free tools available...

Anyone beware, this software will screw up your OS. Use something else. One of the worst programs ever made.

Running itunes on a windows 7 64bit pc is a nightmare. There are very frequent programs freezes and the general speed of the program is dog slow. I have a pretty clean windows install and don't have issues like this with other programs...

this new version disables the sync feature on the new palm pre. beware.

Installing version 8.0 made my system unable to see both of its optical drives. System restore recovered things, and I won't be installing iTunes 8.0 again.

OK,
For Mac and Windows users this isn't an issue, but if you dual-boot with Linux and don't have an iPod Touch be very careful with upgrading beyond iTunes 7.5. Users are reporting changes to their iTunes .db that are rendering their iPods unreadable in gtkpod. Also for Windows users MyFairTunes will not work beyond 7.5 and their host is currently under a C&D order, so MyFairTunes and other DRM soutions are not available from the Hymn project at this time. If you have already installed 7.6, rolling back to 7.5 will not work and will prevent your existing library from being imported. iPod touches are being built with firmware that is incompatible with 3rd party syncing programs so be aware of that also.

I have been on record here as a supporter of iTunes as a great synergistic system to legally buy, organize and transfer music, but these kind of underhanded tactics and protectionist schemes are really dropping their stock in my eyes and many others. Apparently Linux is a big threat to Apple with the trillions of us syncing our iPods!

If you also don't like what Apple is doing, vote with your mouse and use Amazon.com to legally buy music for ALL platforms and devices, at the very least you will save 10 cents a song!
