iTunes is going places.

Visit the iTunes Store on iOS to buy and download your favourite songs, TV shows, movies and podcasts. You can also download macOS Catalina for an all-new entertainment experience on desktop. Your library will transfer automatically to the new Apple Music, Apple TV and Apple Podcasts apps. And you’ll still have access to your favourite iTunes features, including your previous iTunes Store purchases, rentals and imports, and the ability to easily manage your library.

Music, TV and podcasts
take centre stage.

iTunes forever changed the way people experienced music, films, TV programmes and podcasts. It all changes again with three all-new, dedicated apps — Apple Music, Apple TV and Apple Podcasts — each designed from the ground up to be the best way to enjoy entertainment on your Mac. And rest assured: everything you had in your iTunes library is still accessible in each app. iCloud seamlessly syncs everything across your devices — or you can back up, restore and sync by connecting the device directly to your Mac.

The new Apple Music app is the ultimate music streaming experience on Mac.¹ Explore a library of 70 million songs, discover new artists and tracks, find the perfect playlist, download and listen offline, or enjoy all the music you’ve collected over the years. And find it all in your music library on all your devices.

The Apple TV app for Mac is the new home for all your favourite movies, shows, premium channels and Apple TV+. Watch everything directly in the app or enjoy it offline, and discover the best of what’s on in the Watch Now tab. You can even pick up where you left off on any screen, across all your devices. And for the first time, 4K² and Dolby Atmos³–supported movies are available on Mac.

More than 700,000 of the best entertainment, comedy, news and sport shows are now available on your Mac with Apple Podcasts. Search for podcasts by title, topic, guest, host, content and more. Subscribe and be notified as soon as new episodes become available. And in the Listen Now tab, you can easily pick up where you left off across all your devices.
