A Commentary On The  Erasing Of iTunes by Mitch Santell

The day finally is here. Take a deep breath. Who am I writing this too? I am writing this to all of those DJ's out there that rely 100% on iTunes to track their library of music.

iTunes is to a Mac or a Windows 10 system sort of the ultimate place to archive both current and old music.

Our Station Run's on Windows while all of our Social Media and Web site are equally on the Macintosh side of things.

For so many of us, we have had a real love-hate realtionship with iTunes over the years.

Many online publications are suggesting that DJ's wait until Apple has a fix. I felt it was important to share this now before you wonder where all your files went.

Apple’s macOS Catalina update is a big problem for DJs who relied on iTunes

Apple recommends users avoid Catalina until developers update their apps


Apple’s latest desktop operating system update, macOS Catalina, will mark the official end of iTunes after nearly two decades. But that transition is proving to be complicated for a certain subset of Mac users who’ve relied on the software to help manage their jobs: DJs.

According to Apple, along with Catalina’s removal of iTunes, users are also losing XML file support as all native music playback on Macs moves over to the official Music app, which has a new library format. XML file support is a popular organizational feature for DJs who use it to sort tracks into playlists and utilize the “Share iTunes Library XML with other applications” option to seamlessly transmit data between apps.

iTunes For Windows 10 Shall Remain in 2019.

What happens to iTunes on Windows?

iTunes was so popular and big that many people did and still do use it with Windows, so it begs the question how iTunes shutting down in macOS would affect those users using the software on other platforms. According to Ars Technica, they asked Apple at WWDC and there's wasn't a ton of information.

"Apple says users of iTunes under Microsoft Windows will not see any changes. It won't be broken up into several apps; it will work just like it does now. However, Apple did not provide any clarification about what support will be like for future features."

It appears for right now, iTunes in Windows will remain unaffected, but there's no clear indication of how long iTunes will continue to be supported on other platforms, now that Apple has decided to kill off the program for its own operating system.
