With iTunes it's easy to create CDs that play back on in your car, your home stereo, Macs and on Windows-based PCs. iTunes 4 adds the ability to share music among your Macs, play and encode AAC files, and view album art.

One of the most bloated software on the planet. Apple forced users to install this for simple procedures like transferring files. I will not miss it when its gone.

It would be nice if apple used iTunes to bring more Mac-OS only activities to Windows, as well as find a way to compete more with Google ChromeCast using Apple TV.
Alas they don't;
And using what they do offer is mainly guesswork or google research.
(Apple user-to-user forums are flooded with the most simple questions and what's worse is they're often unanswered or poorly responded to).

From my point of view it's some part of an evil plan to slow down & disable windows PC's so their hapless owners turn to the jolly land of Apple in desperation to get a working computer - Adds over twenty seven billion registry entries in an attempt to stop your PC ever working again. (Remember once iTunes is on your PC it's on for good)

Installed on Windows 10, Program bombs when running due to missing files. I uninstalled until Apple corrects the install. I have always had problems with Apple software running on my Hp Laptop..Something is always missing when installing.products...wonder if anyone checks these apps before they are released to the public?

Pros: I'd like to point out that this page should be updated:
- iTunes 12.8 as of 12 July 2018

Pro's: Best util for installing firmware to iOS devices.

Cons: Most features don't give a clear if any explanation as to what they do.
You can't use anything free from the apple app store/etc without a tested working chargeable credit card paypal or other account.

Bottom Line: It would be nice if apple used iTunes to bring more Mac-OS only activities to Windows, as well as find a way to compete more with Google ChromeCast using Apple TV.
Alas they don't;
And using what they do offer is mainly guesswork or google research.

Pros: v12.7.0.166

Control of playlists, can't think for much else

Cons: What NO more apps, the whole app control interface has been removed, leaves behind Gigabytes of ipa files, so the average user wouldn't know what to do with them, no 'would you like to delete them' prompt.

Also as a person who likes to install their Windows programs into custom locations, the installation program has a major issue that's return from 2006, having reported it on release day, no feedback from Apple, once installed the program will complain about the 'CD Configuration' folder being missing, simple move it from their hardcoded location folder to your new location, fancy a large corporation not testing custom locations

Bottom Line: Cutting edge or bleeding edge that is the question

This version of itunes is severely dammaged. Once installed it works correctly for only the first intstall, then immediately throws an error "The Program
can't start because GNSDK_MANAGER.DLL is missing from the computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

If you are having playback problems (choppy, garble, jumps) with iTunes 12.1 for Windows, then download and install the version 'for old video cards'.
Installing that resolved my issue with the above.
Otherwise same old.
If you have iTunes in your Windows taskbar and open it, you will have two icons. When you upgrade it will remove the taskbar icon and leave a 'blank file' icon instead. Little annoyances but if you bought into the Apple eco system, this is the most convenient way to deal with your devices and purchases.

Ok Installed Apple Itunes 12.0.1; visual not an amazing change, but the new get info box where you enter corrections or amendments to the song titles or tag songs that have no information is to put it is a big bunch of dodo. You enter Peter and then use the space bar, and it auto fills the area with the first artist on your list that matches the words, you cannot functionally use the space bar, so each and every entry you have to either highlight the second incorrect word, or say sod it and leave your entry as Peter Bardens for all the songs with the first name Peter.
Being a musician who creates music, and my name being Robert, I don't want all the music I created attributed to a Mr Fripp.... So a big thumbs down from me.
