New itunes
You're referring to the new iTunes!
Apple announced a major overhaul of iTunes in 2019, breaking it down into three separate apps: Music, TV, and Podcasts. Here's a brief overview of each:
- Music: This app is designed specifically for music streaming and management. You can access your music library, create playlists, and discover new music through recommendations and features like "For You" and "Friends Mix."
- TV: This app is focused on video content, allowing you to watch and manage your TV shows and movies. You can access your purchased content, rent or buy new titles, and even stream live TV with a subscription to Apple TV+.
- Podcasts: This app is dedicated to podcast listening and management. You can discover new podcasts, subscribe to your favorites, and listen to episodes on-demand.
Some key features of the new iTunes include:
- A more streamlined interface with a focus on discovery and exploration
- Improved search functionality and recommendations
- Enhanced music and video playback controls
- Support for Apple's new audio formats, such as Lossless Audio and Dolby Atmos
- Integration with other Apple services, like Apple Music and Apple TV+
If you're upgrading from an older version of iTunes, you may notice some changes to the way you manage your media library and sync your devices. Here are some tips to help you get started:
- You can still access your music, TV shows, and movies from the iTunes Store, but you'll need to use the separate Music, TV, and Podcasts apps to manage and play them.
- If you have an iPhone or iPad, you can still use the built-in Music app to manage your music library and sync your device.
- If you have a Mac, you can use the Music app to manage your music library and sync your device, or use the iTunes app to manage your TV shows and movies.
Overall, the new iTunes is designed to be more user-friendly and focused on specific types of content. If you're having trouble navigating the new apps or need help with a specific feature, feel free to ask!
