APPLE: iTunes is Still Useful to Me As Is

[dewline]

I know what the rumour mills are passing along.

I'm still not done with iTunes yet as an all-media-in-one-piece-of-software thing.

Not sorry.

I recently was given a 2015 MacBook Pro, I had to replace the battery, which I did Saturday. And I went back three generations on the OS and installed Sierra so that I could install a program that breaks Apple's ebook DRM.

I'm not keen on the breakup of iTunes. It makes sense on one level, but it is very convenient to have all-in-one for many. They have already broken out iPhone app refresh, which massively pissed me off and ruined my all-in-one experience. So now you have to go to three places to sync things up unless you want to do it all wirelessly, which I do not want to do?

If it weren't for my deep dislike of Android, I'd be tempted to ditch my iPhone. In fact, if someone made a flip phone that had a mobile hotspot I'd be there in a proverbial New York minute.

I'm seriously considering retro-grading my iMac to Sierra. It's more than a little bit of work, but it would be convenient to have both at the same revision level. The problem is that it will long-term cause some apps to freeze when the coding toolkits advance with the current OS beyond support of the old ones, as you have learned.
