Some users are receiving an iTunes update to version 12.6.1.27, we say some because in my personal case I do not have the update to this version and I continue with the newly released version 12.6.1.26 that was released together with the latest version of macOS a the middle of this month.
In this new version released a few hours ago It seems that some aspects of iTunes performance have been corrected, there are not too many details of this new version in the notes. It is possible that during the next few hours the new version will reach the rest of the users who do not have it available.
The iTunes tool is according to Cupertino's own firm, the best way to enjoy and organize your music and movies. This software that is not one of the best that Apple has created, far from it, we can say that requires major improvements in terms of content management itself, but in the latest versions and with the specific applications to get away a little more from iTunes it is possible that in the end this software will remain for the backup copies of our devices and little else. Currently there are many users who do not even make copies in iTunes so we will see what ends up happening with the passage of time.
This new version could arrive at any time in our Mac App Store and obviously it can be obtained as always for free. iTunes is no longer that essential tool for iPhone, iPad or iPod users, but in some ways it can be useful.
