My memory must be suffering because I recall the first versions of iTunes being extremely simple. It was a list of music, and you could play said music. You stuck in a CD, and it would rip it for you. Very little else else.
Then they bolted on: a music store, iPod sync, podcasts, video player, library sharing, social network, iPhone + app management... etc etc etc.
- cmurf 10y agoExactly, it became a dumping ground for things that weren't goign to get their own app. It's hideous, I've stopped using it entirely.
- digi_owl 10y agoI wonder if all that happened because it is Apple's beachhead in the Windows ecosystem. We may be observing the same with how Google chrome has gotten more and functionality added over time.
