First introduced in July, iTunes 12 includes an "elegant new design" that also includes support for several iOS 8/Yosemite features, including Family Sharing. Apple has released three iTunes beta updates thus far, fixing small bugs and other issues. This newest beta includes new top bar icons in preferences with an iOS-style design and stoplight buttons that have been moved back to the center.

Already played with it. I hate it.
I might not hate it if it actually worked. Like, ever.
Once you look at a CD (in my case) you can't look at your playlists, music, or anything else again without quitting and re-opening.
That's strange. I don't have that issue.

iTunes is nice and all, but my god is it bloated. I must use like 10% of its features.
Everyone says that. I must just be a massive media consumer, cause I feel like I use pretty much all of iTunes.
This is really exciting.
Ok, I'm being ironic.
I think "sarcastic" is the word you are looking for.
Can't remember the last version that was actually better than its predecessor.
And don't get me started on the icon itself. Still using this one.
