Still one of the best music players in iTunes is an audio and video player that allows you to manage iOS devices and download content from the iTunes store and use Apple Music. This is a complete home for your music and videos, even if it is music that really stands out.

Better than ever

First, iTunes lets you import and manage your music files. This is a fantastic music library that gives you many ways to browse and organize your music. You can easily create playlists manually and set the automatic ones as "newly added", which shows what you imported during a certain time period. Although iTunes does not support certain formats such as FLAC, it is still the best way to manage your (function () {('review-app-page-desktop');});

You can also browse and buy from the iTunes store. Here you can find music, podcasts, and videos, plus everything you buy is available directly from any device where you log into iTunes with your Apple account.

Apple Music is a streaming service on iTunes. By subscribing, you have access to more than 30 million songs in the Apple music library. This is comparable to Spotify, although it does not have the same social features in the application. Apple Music also has radio stations, ranging from Beats 1 live streaming with famous DJs, to stations that are automatically created by genre. You can start a station from whatever song you are playing, and the Apple Music algorithm creates a station from it. Read more here.

Manage your device

iTunes is also a tool for managing your iOS device; iPhone, iPad and iPod. You can choose music from iTunes that you want to sync to your device, as well as books, movies, TV shows, podcasts and more. Once you get used to how iTunes syncing works with iOS, that's OK, but there are some annoyances.

The main problem is that you cannot quickly connect your device and only update music, for example. As soon as you want to synchronize, that means you back up, copy applications from your device to your Mac and so on. When you're in a hurry and just want to stick to the latest album you bought on your iPhone, it's really frustrating.

However, backup is effective, and when you connect a new device, you can quickly import your backup there without problems.

Complete package

While some complain that iTunes is doing too much and is bloated, it's still a fast, efficient and well-organized media library. The film and TV area feels somewhat backward compared to music, but elsewhere iTunes stands out. As a place to store your music collection, it's reliable and very useful. With the addition of Apple Music, iTunes is a fairly complete package.
