Apple on Thursday released a minor update to its iTunes media management platform to address a variety of small problems and bugs, including compatibility issues with the OS X VoiceOver accessibility feature.
According to Apple's release notes, iTunes version 12.4.1 for Mac includes a grab bag of fixes that might in some cases negatively impact software usability. In particular, the update addresses a problem that caused VoiceOver, Mac's automated screen reader technology, to operate unexpectedly.
In addition, the new iTunes version restores the option to Reset Plays and patches a bug that caused the Up Next function to sometimes play tracks out of order. The previous release also prohibited iTunes from crossfading between songs, a longstanding feature some users believe enhances the overall playback experience.
Today's release comes two weeks after iTunes version 12.4 was pushed out with a redesigned user interface and its own set of bug fixes.
Apple's iTunes version 12.4.1 is available as a free Software Update from the Mac App Store.

Anyone know what happened to iBooks syncing in iTunes 12.4.1.6? It seems to be banished.

Why is iTunes on OSX named 'Apple Music' on iOS?
And why is 'iTunes Store' part of iOS, without having 'iTunes' there?
And why is buying and listening to content split in two apps on iOS, whereas iTunes on OSX does both in one app?
I like the new UI a lot. It's a lot cleaner, more intuitive, and more responsive, especially with Apple Music.
I like AM, too. Never thought in the early days that I'd want to stream music, but I'm finding that it gives me much better access to new (different oldies, for the most part, as most of today's "music" is shit) music because I don't have to buy albums. I get a lot of variety for $15/mo.
