If you agree that iTunes is a bloated, incomprehensible mess that needs to either be killed or fixed somehow, then sign this petition.
We aren't trying to tell Apple how to fix iTunes, just sending a clear message that it needs fixing now.
One last thing: If you care to listen to the song that started the revolution ("iTunes Must Die" by Dr. Mac & His All GarageBand Band), just click here: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/drmachisallgaragebandban
Thank you for your support.

The feedback I receive highlights how many people struggle with the current software experience. It is clear that the frustration with these interface design choices is both widespread and deeply personal.

The momentum behind this request shows how deep the frustration with current software experiences truly runs. It is heartening to see so many people align on the idea that our digital tools should prioritize the user over complexity.

Used iTunes since the beginning but it has been getting more of a mess with each new release for a good while now. Time to kill it & start over with software to do a couple of things well rather than lots of things badly!
Yes. Please fix iTunes. It's gotten so hard to find anything. And Playlist View is NOT a good substitute for the old side bar.
Apple refuses to let me use iTunes with iOS 9 without me upgrading from my beloved perfectly stable Snow Leopard. Sneaky forced obsolescence.
Over the years I have spent hundreds of hours downloading hundreds of CDs into my iTunes library, then correcting the mischaracterization and misfiling of the music (not "songs", my music is mostly classical). My iTunes database has gotten progressively and spontaneously corrupted. Most of my album artwork is gone. Many albums are missing. Single albums have spontaneously split into multiple albums (I have one album which iTunes has split into a separate album for each track on the original album; then it has lost several of those). I face the prospect of deleting my entire iTunes library and starting over.
it's gotten to the point where I can't figure out how to easily sync, and add music to an iPad or iPhone... and I got my first Mac in January 1984. Time to fix this damn program, or split it into a number of apps that actually work.
THE worst software in the world...
Truly.

I really liked Apple Music. I only listen from my desktop, though. I'd subscribe in a heartbeat, except for iTunes. Fix iTunes and you'll have at least one more subscriber.
