Agreed. I&#x27;ve been using iTunes daily since it first came out back in 2001, and I really don&#x27;t see what all the hate is about.<p>Like you I&#x27;ve not treated it well – I&#x27;ve migrated the library across at least four computers, backed it up, restored it, and it&#x27;s even been used by two computers simultaneously on a shared drive – and it&#x27;s always worked fine.<p>The UX is also fine, even with Apple Music turned on. It does a lot of things, but it&#x27;s still the best music player out there.<p>Every time I&#x27;ve tried to use something else, a missing or not well implemented bit of functionality has always brought me back to it.<p>Apple probably should have split the iPod&#x2F;iOS&#x2F;app management functionality into a separate utility, but iOS devices are now completely stand-alone, so they could drop all that stuff without issue.<p>And Apple Music is fantastic - it nailed my musical tastes way more accurately than Spotify, and I&#x27;ve used Spotify for years. The playlists it suggested were almost spookily good.<p>I tried Google Music on my phone for a while, and really didn&#x27;t get on with it. Like all the Play services, it felt clunky and didn&#x27;t have the polish it should. Using it felt like work.
