Streaming music has revolutionized how we all listen to and consume our favorite bands and artists.

Not that long ago, you had to go buy a physical copy of the album you wanted at a record store. The rise of digital media has made it easier than ever to obtain and listen to your favorite music.

iTunes was one of the first music and media streaming and download services and it provided an exciting service that allowed music fans to access all of their favorite songs and albums online. Besides, it’s also a mobile device management app built in macOS that allows you to sync and back up your iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch.

But in recent years, some people don’t like the iTunes interface quite as much. And just a few days ago when the new macOS Catalina was available to download, iTunes is NO longer available according to Apple’s official news release:

“Three all-new apps — Apple Music, Apple Podcasts and Apple TV— replace iTunes and make it easy and fun to discover and enjoy music, TV shows, movies and podcasts on Mac.”

However, there are multiple options when it comes to streaming music and media services so let’s take a look at some great iTunes alternatives for Mac users.

• 4. Spotify

1. iMazing

Digitech rp500 patch list. iMazing is a great way to manage all of your iPHone music, messages, photos, and other data. This is a really user-friendly iTunes alternative that is easy to use but at the same time, very powerful and reliable. It is probably one of the best iOS device managers around and is worth looking into if you’re looking for a better overall way to manage your media than with iTunes.

2. Vox Music Player

Vox Music Player for Mac is a fully functional alternative to iTunes that is pretty popular. The Vox interface seems pretty simple but it packs a lot of punch. This music player has the ability to play many different common formats including MP3, APE, M4A, FLAC, and CUE, so it is a great option if you have songs in your library that are not all the same format. Vox can also playback HD Audio which is great if you create music or like high-quality audio.

A cool thing about Vox is that it is easy to set up and get started. You can import all of your songs from your iTunes library or other locations on your computer really easily. There are other features that allow you to sync the Vox app to SoundCloud and YouTube which is great for multi-media considerations. This feature is nice if you want to have all of your music and media in one place.

Vox is free to download and the basic version has a lot to offer. If you are willing to pay a little, you can access 30,000 different radio stations for a nearly endless supply of new tunes! Vox also offers a cloud storage service for your music and media, but it’s a little on the expensive side.

3. Musique

Musique is another excellent iTunes alternative for Mac that is easy to use and free to download. This app is pretty basic in form and function but you don’t really need a lot to have a great music app. Musique offers an easy layout that organizes all of your music in a way similar to iTunes so it is easy to browse and search your library for whatever songs or albums you are in the mood for.

Even though Musique is kind of a simple app in design, it does a really good job of creating artist images and downloads cover art automatically so you can see the visual media that goes alongside your music, just like the artists intended. This makes for a library that feels like an old record collection and is fun to browse. It is always nice to see pictures of your favorite bands when playing their music and this app really excels in this area.

Musique has a really nice look to it overall and it should function well if you have a large music collection and like having the visuals that go along with the music. The app also syncs up some background information on artists in your library so you can learn cool facts and stories about all of the musicians you love.

4. Spotify

Spotify is an awesome streaming music service that is one of the most popular apps of its kind in the world. If you are the type who likes to discover new music all of the time and also wants all of your favorites in one place, Spotify has everything you are looking for.

It is a well designed and fully functional music streaming app that allows users to find and listen to almost anything they could think of.

In addition to being able to search for your favorite bands and artists, Spotify also creates individualized playlists based on your listening habits. This feature can really help you expand your musical horizons and I’ve found so many new and different artists from all over the world that has helped my library to keep growing. If you are a big music fan, Spotify offers a way to explore and discover that is far above other options out there.

The free version of Spotify will give you access to a vast amount of music but you will have to listen to some advertisements between songs. If you sign up for Spotify Premium and pay a monthly membership, you get access to all of the features ad-free and can save and download songs to play them off-line.

Membership is a commitment but Spotify is one of my favorite services I pay for and is recommended.

Final Thoughts

iTunes once was the ultimate in music and media streaming services but now there are plenty of other options available.

Newer versions of iTunes have become less desirable due to cluttered interfaces and confusing features that aren’t always easy to use, and if you just upgraded your MacBook Pro to the latest macOS Catalina iTunes won’t be even available.

This has fueled the creation of many different alternative services to pop up for the public to choose from when it comes to media players.

While many of the most popular streaming and media management services offer similar features, they all have some things that are unique to each one. If you really want to see which iTunes alternative is best for you, try out the free versions of each for a week or so and see which is your favorite.

If you’re feeling frustrated with iTunes or just want a change, it’s easier than ever to find a great alternative.

What happened to iTunes in macOS Catalina? It’s gone. That’s what! One of the main new features of Catalina is that iTunes has been killed off and replaced with three new apps: Music, Podcasts and TV.

New era of iTunes: why is there no iTunes in macOS Catalina?

iTunes hasn’t been popular for many years. An app that started out as a simple music player that allowed you to rip CDs and play them on your computer or iPod, grew and grew. First came the iTunes Store, which allowed you to buy music and download it to iTunes on your Mac or PC. Then came the ability to play movies and TV programs, as well as podcasts. Eventually iTunes became the catch all for media that you could play on a Mac, PC or iOS devices. Except for photos, of course, those had their own app. iTunes was also used for backing up iOS devices to a Mac or PC, restoring and updating iOS devices, and a number of other tasks. It was bloated, cumbersome, and failed often. No wonder it became so unpopular.

Apple was faced with a choice. It could either re-design and re-build iTunes from the ground up to make it fit for purpose, or it could kill it off. It chose the latter.

What has replaced iTunes in Catalina?

iTunes was so big that it three apps were needed to replace it: music, podcasts, and TV. It’s no surprise Apple chose those three names – the apps mirror their iOS counterparts. So, Music will allow you to play music in your own library (either stored on your Mac or streamed from iCloud Music Library or iTunes Match), as well as stream Apple Music tracks, if you have a subscription. As iTunes does in Mojave, it will sync with iCloud so all the playlists you create or add to your Library on your iPhone or iPad will be available on your Mac and vice versa.

Podcasts is the same as the Podcasts app in iOS, allowing you to subscribe and listen to your favourite podcasts. Like Music, it will sync with iCloud, so your subscriptions will be shared with your Mac, along with bookmarks, and the place you last paused in a podcast.

TV also works like the iOS version, showcasing content from television streaming services in your country. It will allow you to watch programs in the app, as well as make recommendations based on your viewing habits. Apple TV will also be the place to access Apple’s new TV+ streaming service when that eventually launches.

Does iTunes still work in older versions of macOS?

Yes. While Apple has removed iTunes in Catalina, it has said nothing about older versions of macOS. That means it’s likely to continue to support iTunes for those using Mojave and earlier versions of the Mac operating system. So, it should continue to update it when it issues updates for those operating systems. Of course, those updates will likely be limited to bug fixes and security patches, and we won’t see any new features in iTunes.

Tip: if you don’t plan to upgrade to Catalina and want to keep using iTunes, it’s a good idea to remove the junk files iTunes creates. These include old backups, broken downloads, archived updates, and many other files that were supposed to be temporary but ended up hanging around on your Mac. I recommend my long time favorite app, CleanMyMac X for this. It’s way quicker and much easier than trying to do it manually and could free up gigabytes of space in almost no time and with only a couple of clicks. Here’s how to do it.

1. Install, and launch CleanMyMac X — download a free version here
2. Choose Large & Old Files in the sidebar
3. Press Scan
4. When it’s finished, you can review the files it has found by size or by type, such as music or video.
5. When you’re ready, check the box next to files you want to delete and press Remove.

To additionally delete applications’ cache and old system junk associated with iTunes, click on the System Junk tab.

What about the iTunes Store?

The iTunes Store has its' own app on iOS, that allows users to buy individual tracks and albums, as well as rent and buy movies and TV programmes. However, in Catalina you will be able to buy music in the Apple Music app, via a sidebar link called iTunes Store. You will be able to buy or rent all the TVs and movies you currently can on iTunes in the TV app. And audio books will be available for purchase in the Books app.

How will iOS devices sync without iTunes?

In Finder. When you connect an iOS device to your Mac, it will appear in the sidebar in a Finder window, instead of in iTunes. When you click on it, you will see a window that looks very like the sync window in iTunes and will offer the same options for synchronising and backing up content.

The day the DJ music died

The release of macOS Catalina in October 2019 saw many DJ apps crashing. The issues is directly caused by iTunes, or rather the absence of it. Along with iTunes, Apple has removed an important XML file in macOS Catalina. Many DJ apps, like Traktor, were heavily dependent on this file as a way to sync with other music apps. Is your next DJ party at risk?

Itunes Catalina 10.15

Don’t worry — iTune’s successor, Music app, includes a workaround for this issue. But still it requires that your DJ software is optimized for Catalina, and that doesn’t happen overnight.

What else will change when iTunes is removed in Catalina?

There are a few other changes that Apple has documented, relating to the removal of iTunes.

• Podcasts you subscribe to in iTunes will move to the new Podcasts app.
• Music playlists you’ve created in iTunes will be available in the Music app.
• Audio books you purchased in iTunes will move to the Books app.

Usually when Apple decides to remove an app as deeply embedded in macOS as iTunes is, it’s controversial. Opinions are often divided and there is at least some criticism. However, it seems that iTunes had become so unpopular that few people will miss it. And with the new Music, TV, and Podcasts app, all the features and content are still available, just organized more logically. Add to that the fact that you can now sync an iPhone, iPad or iPod in the Finder and the loss of iTunes is really no loss at all.
