I just heard that Apple has effectively killed iTunes for windows. They will no longer supply updates of any sort. Which means if I have MP3 music there’s no realistic way for me to put that onto my iPhone.
Now what I’m trying to figure out is if I got a new computer right now and I needed to install a piece of software to move my MP3’s onto my phone (on the basis I got a new phone) Could I download the iTunes software.?
Is iTunes even still downloadable?
If iTunes is not downloadable, how would I move music which I legally own onto my phone?
I would prefer to stay with an iPhone. So I guess the questions are about the iPhone.
My understanding is I could use Apple Music and sync my music archive from my computer onto my phone through Apple Music. But the problem is then have to keep paying Apple Music subscription, which is stupid since I already own the music.
I haven’t seen anybody else mention that iTunes downloads and .exe exists for basically all versions that came out. Just not on the Apple site. It’s common for people to download old versions to try and work with old iPods or OS versions. Even if there is no “update” for iTunes on windows: what’s stopping you from using the current version until it breaks? It should still it’s job of transferring music to your current device for a long time
I’m actually kinda curious about the purchased music I had on there… Is it still there? The only things I ever actually bought were exclusive albums/tracks from like 2 bands so I hadn’t really thought about it until now.
If you purchased the music then it’s still there.
