Apple, the smartphone manufacturer has decided officially to end iTunes in Mac after 15 successful years after the new update, macOS Catalina, was rolled out.
Which app will replace iTunes?
The new Apple Music app will now take over iTunes from now on for listening to Music on Mac. It also includes previously purchased tracks that you had bought from iTunes and from discs and also includes a radio feature on Apple music. It also comes with a $10/month subscription.
