YW. You may be doubly pleased then - I think the app includes both.

Yes, it does. I don't like reading on my Touch unless I'm desperate, but it's my preferred listening device. Still, it's an option.

After upgrading to iTunes 12, I've come to the conclusion that it sucks big time! Once again, Apple has removed the sidebar; only this time there ain't no fix.

You're just now coming to that conclusion?ha IMHO it's the worst thing that they've ever produced.

Apple long ago came to the conclusion that they knew better what their customers wanted than their customers. That ongoing war against the sidebar is just one of many examples. That's part of the reason why I do exclusively Android stuff.

Look at this article, there is a work-around, but it isn't great.

Thanks, but I'm aware of that one. I found that so-called workaround fairly fast. The problem is, it only shows one category. I want all of the categories displayed simultaneously, just like before.

This move on Apple's part to constantly eliminate the sidebar is just as boneheaded as Microsoft's attempts to get rid of the start menu. Why can't they leave it alone - people want these features.

That said, I rarely get into iTunes anymore, now that I no longer have an iPod touch. Even then, I only used iTunes for apps. Sure I'd download the occasional free book, song or movie, but I never spent any money for any type of content from Apple. I think it's time to liberate my non-app stuff.

I will keep iTunes because of Apple's 12 Days of Gifts promo last year. They just might do it again this year. Last year, one of the freebies was the movie, Hugo.

Yeah, I knew it wasn't exactly what you wanted (me neither) but I think it is the best we're going to get in 12.

I saw it posted over at ozbargains https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/16...omment-2323040
They're usually well behind here so I don't generally pay attention to their audio or book posts, was surprised this time to see them get something first

Thanks again. After I made the request, I played with Google and typed in "goodsearch audible". Lo and behold, there's actually a coupon site called GoodSearch; and the offer was there.
