   iTunes 12.4

   Josh Centers

   Apple has released [1]iTunes 12.4 with some design tweaks to simplify
   the previously ghastly interface. The most notable change is the return
   of the sidebar as a prominent default screen element. Apple replaced
   the media kind buttons with a pop-up menu, called the Media Picker, for
   choosing which media type to view. The company also eliminated the View
   Options menu ' instead, use View > View Options. Finally, the Back and
   Forward buttons now work across the entire interface, instead of just
   in the iTunes Store. For more details, see Kirk McElhearn's [2]write-up
   for Macworld, as well as [3]a list of minor changes on his personal
   blog. (Free, 233 MB via [4]direct download or via Software Update,
   10.8.5+)
