Apple has included iTunes 12 in the newest OS X Yosemite beta released today. It’s a pretty clean redesign that focuses on de-chromifying a lot of the interface elements and introducing new icons.
The iconic iTunes icon has also been changed from blue to a reddish pink. Here’s more of what iTunes 12 looks like:
As you can see, Apple had added the ability to quickly access your iTunes account in the right of the app’s top bar.
OS X Yosemite will launch for the public in the fall alongside the release of iOS 8, which also entered its fourth beta today.

Where is the translucency? iTunes would look great if the album art went through the title bar…
I think, they didn’t make it translucent because iTunes 12 will be available for others OS X versions.
ugly design… :(
iTunes 11 had an overwhelming interface change. iTunes 12 has an overwhelming logo color change.
I can’t believe Apple designed this POS
