iTunes 12.0.1 Now Available for Download: Designed for OS X Yosemite

iTunes 12.0.1 is now available for both Mac and Windows. This update includes many design and performance improvements that make iTunes easier and more enjoyable to use.

What is iTunes?
iTunes is a free digital media player application for Mac and PC. It plays and organizes all your digital music and video files on your computer. It keeps all your content in sync. And it’s a store on your computer, iPod touch, iPhone, and iPad, as well as the Apple TV that has everything you need to be entertained. Anywhere. Anytime.

iTunes can connect to the iTunes Store to purchase and download music, music videos, television shows, iPod Games, Audiobooks, Podcasts, movies and movie rentals (not available in all countries), and Ringtones (only available on iPhone and iPod Touch 4th Generation). It is also used to download Apps from the App Store for the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad.

As part of iCloud, iTunes in the Cloud takes what you buy on iTunes on one device and pushes it to all your other devices, wirelessly and without syncing. And with iTunes Match, even the songs you’ve imported from CDs are stored in iCloud - so you can access them on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple TV, Mac, or PC.

What's new in iTunes 12.0.1? (October 16, 2014)
This release contains the following updates:

iTunes for Mac:
Designed for OS X Yosemite.
iTunes has been refined throughout. It now includes translucency to give it a sense of depth, a streamlined toolbar to give you more room for exploring or experiencing your content, and a more elegant use of color and textures while browsing albums within your library.

Family Sharing
You can now share your purchases from iTunes, iBooks, and the App Store with up to six people in your family - without sharing accounts or passwords. To start sharing, setup your iCloud Family by choosing iCloud in System Preferences on OS X Yosemite or Settings on iOS 8.

Faster access to all of your favorite media
iTunes now includes dedicated icons for music, movies, or TV shows, which make it easier to get to wherever you want to go in your library with a single click.

Seamless browsing between Store and library
The iTunes Store is now a part of the music, movies, or TV shows views of your library - making it simple to jump between your personal collection and what’s new for each category in the Store.

Recently Added
iTunes puts recently added albums, movies, or TV shows at the top of your library - making it effortless to find something new to play.

Improved playlist editing
You can now see your full music library and playlists side-by-side, making it easy to browse your music and drag your favorite songs into any playlist.

Improved Get Info
The all-new Get Info has been completely redesigned to focus your attention only on what’s necessary for the selected item.
