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 Subscriptions
or launching the App Store and
choosing Store → View My Account,
click View Information, enter

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.
