Comment on Did Apple kill iTunes for windows?

There’s really no reason for iTunes anymore.

Got MP3s? Stick them in a fileshare on your PC and use the Files app to copy them onto your phone. Or run a streaming service and stream them over.

But if you really want to manage everything from the PC, you can always use software like iMazing to do so.

Lots of options, all better than iTunes.

  No, I meant the Files app on the phone. It can browse Windows fileshares on the same WiFi network.

  Yes, windows file explorer works. You’ll plug your phone in via USB and treat it like a thumb drive, moving files back and forth.

Unless you have an old iPod 😭 Activate disk mode and install Rockbox ASAP in that case, so you don’t need iTunes anymore.

  iMazing works with old iPods too.
