And it is that there are many years that some users ask Apple to reorganize this software that today few Mac and Windows users use. Yes, synchronization or backups on the Mac, the possibility of having a good music library over the years and really little else.
And it is true that iTunes is getting a bit off the hook from the current world and is partly normal. Photos now have their own app on macOS, like books with the Books app, music with Apple Music or movies now with the arrival of Apple TV. In short it seems that we're slowly coming to the end of iTunes on macOS as we know it until now.
The software that was essential is left without use
And as we say, fewer and fewer users continue to use this software to back up or update your iOS devices on the Mac having the process so simple with iCloud and the software downloads via OTA. In addition, the only thing we would lack would be the Podcasts app and if you rush me some music to manage our library (if we have it in iTunes) to be able to stop using the software on the Mac. It is true that Apple did not improve iTunes with the time went by to make it the perfect program for users, so now when they say to suppress its functions or directly leave it as a soft for a few it should not be a big problem either.
It is possible that this moment of disappearance of iTunes or simply of elimination of functions for this mythical and veteran software for macOS and Windows is close to arriving, so some developers are already explaining that the option does not seem bad at all as long as Apple launch apps according to the functions of iTunes for Mac. We will see what happens in the end with all this but the question here is: Are you still using iTunes on your Mac?
