I agree that I should've framed my post better and I appreciate that feedback.

I do understand that iTunes is dealing with a long history of development, and that it has to support lots of use cases that probably explain a lot of the rough edges — I even allude to that in my post.

It's amazing that I can still use my decade-old iPod Shuffle with iTunes at all -- that must be a lot of work. But so much has changed since then, and iTunes as an Apple Music client is a genuinely frustrating experience.

I don't expect software to be perfect. But I want iTunes to be better than it is. I'm paying $10/mo for Apple Music, which actually has an incredible library and editorial playlists... they're just nearly impossible to find.

I'd love to have an amazing Apple Music experience that doesn't also need to manage podcasts, TV shows, audiobooks, and almost 2 decades of music players.
