A while ago I posted a link to a beta version of the Apple App intended to replace iTunes on your PC. Now, (Windows 10 and above) instead of iTunes, you can use three dedicated apps designed specifically for listening to music, watching content, and managing your Apple devices. To access your music and video content from your iTunes library, use the Apple Music app and Apple TV app. To manage your iPhone or iPad, use the Apple Devices app. The good news is that users can still use iTunes if they prefer.
