Yes, streaming has come more into central view in this app, and will likely get all of the attention and most future features.Įven simply talking about the app becomes a lot more challenging. The only content your music library will compete with will be Apple Music’s streaming content. Your local library is still there, playlists are still available – and DJ software integrations are likely to work just fine. If you’re like a lot of DJs and use iTunes as the backbone of your DJ library, we suspect you’ll be completely fine, and that using the software will be less painful. As a result, a lot of the functionality of iTunes that DJs require will be retained, while segmenting out features that have nothing to do with music (iPhone syncing, podcast streaming, movie and TV show watching). The new Apple Music app has two functions: to manage local music, and to browse/explore music that you might stream from the Apple Music streaming service.
Anyone remember this version of iTunes? It’s A Tool To Manage Music A first screenshot of Apple Music in macOS Catalina (clck to zoom) You could quickly rip music from CDs, create your own playlists from your music libraries, and burn those playlists out to CDs. It’s pretty hard to remember what iTunes was in the beginning – but originally, it was a tool for MP3 lovers. Thankfully, this mockup of Calendar in iTunes was a joke. The WWDC presentation that addressed this app segmentation was highly critical of the bloat that iTunes has contracted over the years – even going as far to joke about how adding Calendar, Mail, and a Dock to the software would have been realistic additions. “iTunes started completely focused – ‘Rip, Mix, and Burn’ – Craig Federighi, Apple’s senior vice president of Software EngineeringĪs far as we can tell, DJs will only benefit from this simplification. How Does Apple Music replacing iTunes impact DJs? The OS will instead come with three apps that replace it: Apple Music, Apple Podcasts, and Apple TV.
We wrote about this in April, and it’s true: in the upcoming macOS Catalina release, iTunes is no more. Today at WWDC 2019 (Apple’s annual developer conference) we heard the first official news about a much-talked about development to music management: the end of iTunes.
