Apple iTunes – Media Player and Digital Library

Apple iTunes is a multimedia software application developed by Apple Inc. It serves as a media player, digital library, and device management tool for Apple devices. Initially released in 2001, iTunes became one of the most widely used programs for purchasing, organizing, and playing music, movies, TV shows, and podcasts. While Apple replaced iTunes with separate apps (Music, TV, and Podcasts) on macOS Catalina and later, it remains available for Windows users as a primary media management tool.
