iTunes comes in threes: what changes to access Apple services from Windows

Apple has been working for some time to equalize access to its services from Windows similar to the one from Mac, and now the news is finally available for everyone: iTunes it’s done in three (by the way, do you know how to transfer files from iPhone to PC?).

What does it mean? For more than a year (since October 2022, to be exact) Apple has been testing three new apps for Windows (launched as previews in January 2023), Apple Music Apple devices And Apple TVresponsible for the management of the respective services which until now belonged to iTunes.

Now the wait is over, and if you download the Apple Music, Apple TV, and Apple Devices apps, which are no longer listed as Previewsopening iTunes will explain that:

Music, movies and TV shows are now available in the Apple Music and Apple TV apps. Audiobooks and podcasts are still available in iTunes.

So iTunes it will no longer be the central hub to use to connect your iPhone to your PC or listen to music from Apple Music, but it will become an app dedicated to listening to audiobooks And podcasts. Be careful, because the iTunes library should not be deleted as it is still used by the Apple Music and Apple TV apps.

Individual apps are a big step forward, thanks to one graphics much more modern, as well as offering the same ones characteristics of the counterparts for Mac.

All you have to do is log in with yours Apple accountsand start using the services as you did before, because as we were saying the new apps use the iTunes librarywhich is not (and must not be) deleted.

The app Apple Music allows Windows users a way to listen to and manage music from their iTunes library, including iTunes Store purchases, as well as access to the Apple Music streaming service.

The app Apple TV instead, it allows you to watch and manage films and TV programs from iTunes, as well as allowing you to watch programs Apple TV+.

The app Apple devices instead, it is designed to allow Windows PC owners to update, back up, restore and manage their iPhone and iPad, as well as sync content with the computer.

The three apps can be downloaded on computers updated to Windows 10 and later, while PC users running older versions of Windows 10 will be able to continue using iTunes.
