Apple iTunes is dead, as an application yes, but in the background absolutely not.
Introduction
In 2021 the status is that Apple has split iTunes into 3-4 different apps:
- Music
- Podcasts
- TV
- Voice Memo (official this one does not belong into this list).
In the background, the folder structure, iTunes is still very much alive.
iTunes back-end
The Apps, and their initial/basic locations:
| Application | Entry | Short Description | Description | Location |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Music | Apple Music | DRM Apple music | Apple leased Music. | ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Apple Music |
| Music | Free own Music | Private music collection of the user. | ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music | |
| TV | Home Videos | My Home Videos | Private video collection of the user. | ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Home Videos |
| Movies | DRM Videos | The leased/bought video collection of the user. | ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Videos | |
| Podcasts | Podcasts | My podcasts | The podcast collection of the user. | ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Podcasts |
| Voice Memo | Voice Memos | My voice memos | The voice memeo collection of the user. | ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Voice Memos |
The complete list looks like:

Music Migration
Apple has made a website if you like to change the place Apple stores it music or want to migrate.
Below I give 2 examples, but there are much more topics on the support wwbsite.
- Apple Support - Apple Music, Customise the Music window on Mac.
- Apple Support - Apple Music, Change where your music files are stored on Mac.
