Jason Snell: Time to Fix iTunes

April 10th, 2012

Jason Snell:

If Apple’s going to embrace the cloud wherever possible, it needs to change iTunes too. The program should be simpler. It might be better off being split into separate apps, one devoted to device syncing, one devoted to media playback.

Fixing app syncing alone would go a long way. I can’t always figure out what iTunes is going to do, and if I can’t figure it out, regular users certainly can’t.

Apple’s goals should be to make “syncing” with a computer as superfluous as possible.
