The weird thing is that they didn’t when they first came out. iPhoto had slick editing features and was a very handy and intuitive way to organize your photos, and iTunes, back in the old brushed-metal days, was easy to use and very flexible. It’s been very bizarre watching both of them devolve and suck more on every release. [quote=“AcerPlatanoides, post:213, topic:73409”]
It is no longer for playing music, it is a storefront.

I think they desperately need to separate things again. iTunes embraced more and more functionality – first adding movies, then TV shows, then podcasts, then organizing your apps and iPhone/iPad data – and got more and more crowded and painful to navigate. With the addition of Apple Music, it’s exploded. I admit to being utterly baffled most of the time as to whether I’m listening to my own mp3s or something streaming.
I really wish they could find a way to visually and functionally separate the Apple Music cloud service from the iTunes music player.
