Apple on Wednesday issued an update for iTunes, bringing it to version 12.3, which adds support for the newly released iOS 9 mobile operating system.
Apple has said that the latest version of iTunes is also designed for OS X 10.11 El Capitan, which is scheduled to arrive later this month.
Other changes and updates in iTunes 12.3, according to Apple, are:
- Improved Apple Music accessibility with VoiceOver
- Resolved a problem that prevented ordering of songs within Up Next
- Fixed a problem where some radio stations did not appear within Recently Played
- Addressed an issue where songs you loved on iOS did not appear loved on iTunes
- Support two-factor authentication to secure your Apple ID
Apple has also said the update includes improvements to overall stability and performance. Upon updating to iTunes 12.3, users can use the media and syncing suite to install the newly released iOS 9 on their iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, which is also available in an over-the-air update through the iOS Settings application.

iTunes is still a garbage app. Even worse in Windows.
"Windows".
LOL
"Support two-factor authentication to secure your Apple ID" Aah... That's why I could not sign into El Capitain with iTunes in the beta... Got an "unknown error occurred" while trying to sign in. Turned it off and tadaa. I can sign in again..
ds92jz....what do you use for your Music streaming instead? I use a Mini MAC that I ripped all my music to so I can play it on my Sound System....I use it with Pure Music... Thanks, Larry

[/quote]As opposed to what's, Windows Media Player? Plex? Both of those are actually the most garbage apps I have ever used. In fact of all the players I've ever used including RealPlayer, MusicMatch, Songbird, Plex, XBMC, and iTunes iTunes for me has been the least buggy, easiest to learn, and easiest to use and that's in any version including 12 which I've had no problems with. iTunes will always seem buggy and slow on Windows because Windows doesn't have the core functionality iOS and OS X have. It can NEVER be as good as the Mac version in the same way Safari sucked on Windows. It's still the best media player on that machine though in my not so humble opinion
