I've grown to like the new streaming music. I really like some of the playlists that they put together. If they keep that up and continue to add songs, I'll keep it.
I don't particularly like the new version of iTunes, et al. I particularly don't like the lack of playlist on the iOS device for audio books. Yes, I can arrange them in iBooks (manual order), which is nice, but iBooks doesn't play the next in order automatically (unless there is some setting that I'm missing), which I use in the car. Until there is some sort of work around or I get a car that supports Car Play, I'm keeping my car iTouch at the previous version.
On a different note, it will be interesting to see how the different philosophies of Apple and Google/Amazon play out. Apple's philosophy is the curated approach. Better quality control, but less flexibility. Amazon's approach is to push the quality control on to someone else, the publishers, the customers, whomever. It's a more flexible approach, though I imagine Amazon uses it for cost control rather than customer flexibility. The down side is that quality control isn't very good. It's basically the Apple walled garden verse the Android wild, wild west approaches.
