How do I download iTunes 12.2?

this works!

Given the ****-poor state of OSX 10.10 on its release (and iOS 8 to a lesser extent), how long it took just to get it to a usable state, their event live streaming screwups, and the absolute horror show that is Xcode (I find it hard to believe Apple engineers actually use it, and if they do, how Apple retains their engineers), I'm not at all surprised by their total mishandling of the iTunes 12.2 rollout.

I think you would be more disappointed if they put out a buggy version just to appease people who want it NOW.

My guess is that they found a problem very late on and they're working on a fix. Not great with regards to app development and testing, but I would personally rather that they spend the time getting it right than publishing something they know is wrong.

And people calling for someone in Apple to be fired? Get some perspective! You have been delayed using a new, free (for now) service on a particular device.

same here wish I could at least try it on my mac.

I don't have acces to Itunes radio my country ;(

You are not compelled to use Apple's services or products, I suggest you change to a manufacturer who does meet your standards as you clearly feel that Apple don't.

works, great! thankU

Not a bad guess but considering some people have already been given the option to install iTunes 12.2 I don't think that's the case.

Would you kindly link to one of those people, any one of them that has installed iTunes 12.2 will be fine.

its 2:00pm.....

Looks like Beats 1 is only available in the US and Australia....

Actually, to some extent I am compelled to use their products. My IT department at work mandates that I use a Mac. In fact I already inquired about switching to Linux after encountering a major crashing bug in 10.10 but was refused. Sure, I could quit and find another job, but given the line of work I'm in it would almost certainly be at another Apple shop. All of my home machines are Windows/Linux PCs.

Edit to add: It's now 14:04 PDT, still no sign of iTunes 12.2 for me.

Oh well, just 2 more hours here in the UK and then it becomes...

Apple Music, available on July 30**

** for iOS only

I've added beats 1 radio on my iTunes 12.1.2.27. But it doesn't seem to work. It freezes every time i try to play it while other stations are working just fine

That's not compulsion, it's the culmination of a succession of choices, your choices.

As I said, you are not compelled, even if your job actually consists of listening to music.
