if itunes already runs good on windows since a lot of time, why not those apps?

Wait, so you have a special version of iTunes that runs well on Windows??

Just going to throw in that I never had problems with iTunes on Windows.
vabello t1_j41hphh wrote
It behaves like a normal Windows application for you and not a slow clunky one? That’s always been my experience on every Windows PC. Certain clicks don’t register right away and it makes it feel very sluggish.

That’s just a wrapper for the normal version, but without Apple Update or any iCloud sync… if the latter was part of iTunes. I can’t recall now.

Didn't know they had a Windows Store vers. of it. Well colour me surprised!
And it ran well too?! Because iTunes never ran well like they did on purpose on Windows rig.

Windows store kinda does bad but the .exe in my opinion does well

When it comes to syncing photos to your iPhone, the windows .exe is even better as my MacBook. Funny but true. While iTunes on windows isn’t transferring very few photos, my Mac can’t sync several hundreds of photos, because it can’t transfer photos of that type of codecs. „Your iPhone doesn’t support that file type“. But ALL the photos and videos come from my iPhone, so I know that it supports that file type. And even windows iTunes can transfer them. Strange isn’t it?

I doubt they will be bringing out a new iTunes. Seems Apple are investing in web based streaming like Amazon and Spotify now that music.apple.com is a thing.

I think there is also an Apple Music app in the MS Store that’s been out for a bit
EDIT: Announced, but not released yet
Hiberniciz t1_j3youoz wrote
Has there? I may be wrong then. I used to use iTunes but when I found the online version I just stream from there these days.

Online player isn’t bad at all. I would want to have a separate window for music though… I Alt+F4 way too often on browsers lol

"I Alt+F4 way too often on browsers" hmmm
TylerDeBoy t1_j3ysm5m wrote
Oh that’s bad, retract and restate… Because I open way too many windows and tabs when searching for different tasks. Hate closing tabs one by one lol

Online player would never sync my saved albums/playlists when I tried to add something using the browser (Firefox). Made me drop Apple Music for and go back to Spotify

The preview is out. It’s not good.
TylerDeBoy t1_j3z69zr wrote
What’s wrong with it? It is just a preview lol
ctaetcsh t1_j3zx56l wrote
It’s underbaked. There’s missing functionality such as no lyrics and no system media control integration. I assume it’s going to get better but if this is considered good enough to be a “preview” then I’m not holding my breath.

I hope they bring Apple News to Windows. I know the general consensus on Reddit is that Apple News sucks but I like News+ a lot (could be better obvs) and use it daily on my iPhone and iPad. Would be nice to use it on my Windows laptop too.

I can't lose iTunes?? I use it every day. Don't stream music. It manages my library.

They're dividing the old monolithic iTunes app into separate TV, Music, and Sync apps, just like they did on the Mac.
Your media libraries aren't going anywhere. It's not a rewrite and the "new" Music and TV apps will work exactly like iTunes did.
evillaughHA t1_j4226cs wrote
Thank god. I was afraid we'd still get the 'screw you, you're on Windows' treatment and lose that functionality.

I mean if it does exactly what it needs to and nothing more, then sure - why not?
Occasionally I try to backup my phone to my desktop instead of relying on the numerous cloud options that covers most of my needs and it’s never a smooth process.
Finding it because the shortcut is broken, updating, doing multiple restarts, then trying to backup the device - it’s frustrating.

Same as the enhanced iCloud for Windows and Windows Photos (supposed to work with iCloud eventually). But only if using Win 11.

I only use Windows on my work computer but I’m so glad to finally see a new Apple Music app. The current iTunes one is awful to say the least

I don’t see why iTunes cannot play some of the high resolution file types that are becoming popular…. We need more than just mp3…. It’s SO old.

at first i thought i was looking at the App Store, until i realised its just Microsoft’s blatant rip off. so shameless in their copying lol
