Redesigned iTunes for PC and Mac

• The Verge explains: "The app features a new edge-to-edge design with more visual cues for albums. Albums can be clicked on and expanded in place to see details... and it is now possible to browse the library by artist. The redesign also features more modal boxes to avoid the confusion and jumping around that was required in earlier versions of iTunes."
