Despite many posts here that claim this, it's usually not true.
What do you want to do in iTunes that you think cannot be done in iTunes 12.8?
The usual suspects are:
- no side bar bar option - there is
- cannot display a particular tag in the Library - I have yet to find a tag I cannot display
- cannot display the view I want - yeah, almost certainly not true
- can't get Albums/Songs view, or can't show genres - all, not true
If you post a screenshot of the view you currently use and prefer, perhaps we can reassure you that it can be used in iTunes 12.8
There have been some changes; iTunes no longer shows apps, books etc., but since you have a Classic, that's not relevant. As for the iPad, anything that cannot be done in your iTunes Library (and this is what causes these complaints), can still be performed on the iPad. Since you will be starting on the iPad as iTunes is now, there will not be any problem, you will simply use it as iTunes allows you to. Even on the iPad, managing music can be exactly the same as on your Classic.
Here's my own personal view, that I use all the time. It will work for a Classic and a 6th generation iPod Touch, which is very similar to the iPad. This is not the only view, you can personalise it to suit you.
