W

ith macOS 10.15 Catalina,

Apple killed iTunes, but its

heart still beats in different

apps across the operating

system. Judging by email received, knowing

where to find them can be a treasure hunt.

Here’s how iTunes was split up.

MUSIC

Remember when iTunes was all about

music? You no longer have to remember,

because the Music app replaces most of

iTunes’s features and is, true to its name,

all about Music. In Music, you find your

music library, manage an Apple Music

subscription, and purchase songs, albums,

and music videos from the iTunes Store.

(See, iTunes isn’t really dead!)

SUBSCRIPTIONS

You used to rely on the iTunes account

feature to view and manage subscriptions.

That’s migrated in Catalina to the App

Store. You can reach this either from the

Apple ID preference pane’s Media &

Purchases view by clicking Manage

Where did that go? Find the parts

of iTunes now spread throughout

different apps in macOS Catalina

iTunes is dead. But the severed parts remain if you know where to find them.
