Apple has released an update to iTunes to accompany today’s iOS 8.4.1 release. Like the iOS update, the new version of iTunes introduces bug fixes related to Apple Music and the Beats 1 streaming radio service.
Mac users will now be able to access the Beats 1 broadcast schedule directly within the iTunes app by clicking on the large Beats 1 banner on the radio page. Users can also see a list of which artists they follow on the Connect social media service, just like on iOS. Artists can also use iTunes to take advantage of the social features previously exclusive to iOS.
Several bugs were also fixed in this update, including an issue that could cause iTunes to forget where you were on a page if you tried going back, and an bug that could result in Apple Music artists being sorted incorrectly in the music library. One final fix ensures that the playlists you see in action menus are actually the ones in your library.
You can download iTunes 12.2.2 through the Updates tab on the Mac App Store.

Someone tell me “I can transfer purchases from iOS9 beta 5 now”
So iTunes Match is still broken?
The good news is that it seems as if you can now add complete albums from Apple Music if you’ve bought (or uploaded) one or two tracks from iTunes (or elsewhere). The bad news? Still mismatched/incorrectly labelled iCloud Music Library statuses (Apple Music tracks identified as “Matched”), and I’ve managed to add the same tracks in album three or four times over because iTunes appears to be very laggy downloading and adding tracks.
The dreaded “iCloud Music Library is unavailable” is still ever present – cutting one off from downloading, adding or doing anything useful with Apple Music’s library for several hours.
So yes, it’s still broken.
To update iTunes it says I cannot have Aperture open. Question. Why can I not have Aperture open? The two do not seem connected in any way.
Probably because of some media framework that has to be updated.
Probably because Aperture can connect directly to iOS.
Xcode has the same thing.
Unchecked songs are greyed out again. thank goodness. its hard to quickly pick out the song i listen to alot in the album. (yes i know there is a list organizer for that)
Artists not followed are no longer injected into my Connect feed. :)
Did they fix the bug where iTunes forgets all of the music you spent the last 10 years buying, and iTunes match?
