iTunes has been mostly discontinued — with a few exceptions for older Apple operating systems and non-Mac devices

• Apple discontinued iTunes for Mac users several years ago.
• You can still access your iTunes library of music, podcasts, and movies on Apple's new apps.
• iTunes still exists for Windows and older Macs.

iTunes has been Apple's primary media player for about two decades. It debuted in 2001 and has been the primary way that most people listened to music and downloaded songs to their iPhones ever since.

That changed in 2019 when Apple announced that it was discontinuing the iconic music player starting with Mac OS Catalina. But Apple didn't make a clean, easy-to-understand break with iTunes.
