MacVoices #15157: Kirk McElhearn Takes Control of iTunes 12 and Apple Music

Kirk McElhearn has released Take Control of iTunes 12, a title that not only covers Apple’s music player as well as the new Apple Music service. iTunes has generated plenty of controversy as it has matured. Kirk takes us through the goods and no-so-goods of the current iteration so that you can get the most out of the changes and enhancements. Then, the focus goes to Apple Music, the challenges it has faced, and how it integrates with the iTunes experience.
