New version of iTunes, does anyone else find the intrusive biography, similar artist and influences info annoying?
Windows 7
Yes, though I suspect that we're stuck with it given Apple's focus on streaming services, which I can only assume are aimed at people who need help deciding what music they want to listen to.
Have you also noticed that even if you are not connected to the "store" if you click on ALL instead of My Music by one of your albums it displays every other album and top songs that particular artist has recorded and hides your displayed music. So, where is it pulling this information from if you are supposedly NOT CONNECTED to the store????? It is so invasive! If they want to do something like this, they ought to give you the option to choose to opt in and to not display it if you don't want to! Some of their similar artist choices are questionable as well. Since when has Russ Conway been like Billy Fury, or Kylie Minogue been like Robbie Williams?
The "similar artists" panel is beyond annoying. It lists acts that are not even remotely similar to the one that is playing. For example, for artists similar to Bill Withers it lists Stevie Ray Vaughn, Paul Butterfield, and Joan Jett! Not being able to remove this panel basically means that you have ceded a bit of control to Apple Music over your own library.
