iTunes is a tire fire. But purely in terms of content, Apple Music is probably the best streaming service, and their recommendation system is getting better. Apple also has the benefit of iTunes&#x2F;Apple Music being closer to a first-class citizen on things like car bluetooth audio systems.<p>I would be thrilled to hear that Apple is totally revamping iTunes; I swear at it at least a couple times a week. But I&#x27;m probably not going to be able to stop using it any time soon.<p>I&#x27;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&#x27;t seem like where digital music is headed. I had a gigantic collection of purchased music on my computer, and it&#x27;s more an annoyance now than anything else.<p>Hating iTunes so much you can&#x27;t use it makes sense to me. But then, why not just use Spotify?<p>Anyways: predicting where this thread is inevitably heading, here&#x27;s a list off the top of my head of shit that drives me nuts about iTunes:<p>* Purchased tracks randomly grey out and become non-playable.<p>* I&#x27;m a &quot;Match&quot; customer, and iTunes&#x2F;iCloud&#x2F;whatever doggedly insists on retaining the file-based metadata from my old MP3s, despite me not having had those MP3s in years.<p>* Ridiculous incoherent &quot;Playlists &#x2F; For You &#x2F; New &#x2F; Radio &#x2F; Connect &#x2F; iTunes Store&quot; menu. &quot;For You&quot;?<p>* 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&#x27;t work.<p>* Sometimes you can link to a playlist to share it and sometimes you can&#x27;t.
