What Is Apple Music?

However, to purchase new music and take advantage of Apple Music's streaming capabilities, you'll need an Apple Music subscription. An Individual plan is $10.99 per month or $109 a year, while a Family Plan is $16.99 monthly

What Happened to iTunes?

With the launch of macOS Catalina, Apple replaced iTunes with dedicated music (Apple Music), video (Apple TV), podcast (Apple Podcasts), and audiobook (Apple Books) apps. You can access any previous iTunes purchases through these apps, as these apps pull content from your iTunes libraries.

These apps come preinstalled on your Mac if you have macOS Catalina or later, so you don't need to download them.

If you have a Windows PC, you'll use iTunes for Windows to manage your music and media libraries.
