Organized media and comprehensive content
iTunes is designed to keep media organized. Users can add items to it and import music from CDs and DVDs into their library, so physical collections are consolidated. The program provides tools to manage the library and keep media in one place.
It is home to Apple Music, which offers millions of songs from classic hits to the newest releases. The service provides ad-free listening with zero commercials and the option to download favorite music for offline use. Users can stream music from Apple Music, get items from the iTunes Store, and try Apple Music free with no commitment, canceling anytime.
Access and playback across devices
With all songs plus Apple Music in the library, users can play favorites on all their devices. iTunes works with iCloud to help access the library across devices and can sync content to devices. Music can be played on speakers connected to the computer or any AirPlay-enabled device, such as the HomePod mini.
