With more attractive album artwork and more seamless and simpler navigation, Apple has employed a new edge-to-edge pattern in iTunes 11. The users have an option now to create a list of songs they wish to hear by classifying the music playlist with the ‘Up Next’ feature added by Apple. This new version of iTunes is designed in a similar format like iOS on the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. It comes with easier playlist manipulation and a new mini player with built-in search and playlists.

As quoted on Apple website, “The iTunes Store has been redesigned for your Mac, PC, iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch, so it looks and works the same wherever you shop.” In addition to this Apple says, “Easy-to-browse shelves serve up popular music, movies, TV shows, and more. And all the features you know and love are even easier to get to. It’s the best kind of shopping — simple.”

At present iTunes has a directory of over 26 million songs and till September Apple customers have purchased 20 billion songs since the last nine years. Cue mentioned at Apple’s September media event that iTunes has over 435 million accounts with credit cards/other payment modes available. In 2012 iTunes store generated over $7.5 billion.
iTunes did not see any redesign since 2010 while iTunes 10 introduced Ping social which didn’t work though they added many new features. There are a lot of expectations from the upcoming version.
