Unlike your Mac, it will continue to have a freestanding app called the iTunes Store. Just like on a Mac, your iPhone has-and will continue to have-apps for Apple Music, TV, and Podcasts.

The new Podcasts app on Mac with the Catalina operating system. In summary: iTunes lives on as the iTunes Music Store (for music only, as the name implies) on your Mac, nestled with the Apple Music app. When you click to open an audio file on your desktop, the default program will be Apple Music. “sers will have access to their entire music library, whether they downloaded the songs, purchased them or ripped them from a CD,” Apple said, in a press release. If you have songs in your iTunes music library, they will live on in Apple Music-even if you didn’t buy them from Apple, according to the company. With the Catalina operating system, if you insist on plugging your phone into your computer to sync it (instead of doing so wirelessly, through iCloud), it will appear in a finder window, as Apple executive Craig Federighi explained on stage yesterday. What happens when I plug my phone into my computer? As for the Podcasts app on Mac, you guessed it: that’s where you’ll manage your podcasts, which offers a similar experience to the mobile app.
#APPLE ITUNES MOVIE#
What you can’t do from that store is buy a movie or TV show on your Mac as you could with the original, bloated iTunes-for that, you have to do it through the Apple TV app. If you want to buy an individual song for 99 cents, you can still do it there. Within the Apple Music app for your Mac there will be an iTunes Music Store. Those three programs all mirror apps that already exist on your iOS device, as well as Apple TVs. Instead, like a big company being split up by an anti-monopoly law, it will separate into three separate Mac applications: Apple Music, Apple TV, and Apple Podcasts. There will not be a program called iTunes in that OS. The biggest change with iTunes is coming to Macs with the next operating system, macOS Catalina, which will arrive in the fall. Goodnight, sweet prince.īut the iTunes name isn’t completely going away. Wall Street Journal writer Joanna Stern even penned an obituary for it, referring to the program’s early days as “a CD owner’s best friend.” (Before the iTunes Store existed, people used the program to rip and burn music from or onto compact discs, or transfer it to an iPod.) The New York Times released its own eulogy for the software. Apple is putting the iTunes program out to pasture. Even if you didn’t use it, the program popped up when you plugged in your phone. It was also the main interface that people used to back up their devices if they didn’t want to sync it through the cloud. Clunky as it was, however, it was fundamental for many iPhone owners. Dating back to 2001, iTunes is an iconic but unwieldy program that’s been a frequent target for complaints about its slow speeds and its attempt to do too many things. Apple held its annual Worldwide Developers Conference on Monday, and if you paid attention to any of the rumors beforehand, you may have heard that the company is killing iTunes.
