iTunes has had a media browser since I started using it in the 10.3 days.<p>You haven&#x27;t needed iTunes to use an iPhone for several years now. I still plug mine in once in a while for a local backup but I can&#x27;t tell you the last time I&#x27;ve needed it. Apple&#x27;s cloud backup is pretty good in my experience.<p>Don&#x27;t get me wrong... iTunes is definitely getting worse. The media browser is too hard to find in the new version and the new default views don&#x27;t handle large libraries very well.
