The iTunes media platform was first released by Apple in 2001 as a simple music player for Mac computers. Over time, iTunes developed into a sophisticated multimedia content manager, hardware synchronization manager and e-commerce platform. iTunes was finally discontinued for new Mac computers in 2019, but is still available and supported for Macs running older operating systems and for Windows computers to ensure updated compatibility for syncing with new releases of iOS devices (refer to Devices section).
iTunes enables users to manage media content, create playlists, synchronize media content with handheld devices including the iPod, iPhone, and iPad, re-image and update handheld devices, stream Internet radio and purchase music, films, television shows, and audiobooks via the iTunes Store.
iTunes has been credited with accelerating shifts within the music industry.{{Citation needed|reason=by whom?|date=April 2024}} The pricing structure of iTunes encouraged the sale of single songs, allowing users to abandon the purchase of more expensive albums. This hastened the end of the Album Era in popular music.
History
In 2000, Apple purchased the MP3 player software SoundJam MP, a program developed by Bill Kincaid and released by Casady & Greene in 1999.{{cite web |url=http://panic.com/extras/audionstory/popup-sjstory.html |title=The True Story of SoundJam |first=Bill |last=Kincaid |publisher=Panic |access-date=January 28, 2007 |archive-date=December 8, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161208005643/http://panic.com/extras/audionstory/popup-sjstory.html |url-status=live }} At the time of the purchase, Kincaid, Jeff Robbin and Dave Heller left Casady & Greene to continue development of the program as Apple employees. At Apple, the developers simplified SoundJam's user interface, added the ability to burn CDs, and removed the program's recording feature and skin support.{{cite web|url=http://panic.com/extras/audionstory/|title=The true story of Audion|first=Cabel|last=Sasser|author-link=Cabel Sasser|publisher=Panic|access-date=January 28, 2007|archive-date=September 6, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190906020515/https://panic.com/extras/audionstory/|url-status=live}}
On January 9, 2001, at Macworld San Francisco, Apple released version 1.0 of the program under the name "iTunes" for Mac OS 9. Macintosh users immediately began poking through iTunes's resource fork, where they discovered numerous strings and other resources that indicated that iTunes was a re-engineered Sound Jam MP. Casady & Greene ceased distribution of SoundJam MP on June 1, 2001, at the request of the developers.{{cite web |work=Mac Observer |url=http://www.macobserver.com/article/2001/05/07.10.shtml |title=Casady & Greene Discontinues SoundJam MP at Developer's Request |access-date=March 30, 2012 |archive-date=April 14, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120414191429/http://www.macobserver.com/article/2001/05/07.10.shtml |url-status=live }}
In March 2001, iTunes began to support Mac OS X with the release of version 1.1. Release 2.0 added support for the new iPod.{{cite press release|url=https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2001/10/23Apple-Announces-iTunes-2/|title=Apple Announces iTunes 2|publisher=Apple|date=October 23, 2001|access-date=January 28, 2007|archive-date=October 9, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171009234822/https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2001/10/23Apple-Announces-iTunes-2/|url-status=live}} Version 3 dropped Mac OS 9 support but added smart playlists and a ratings system.{{cite press release|url=https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2002/07/17Apple-Announces-iTunes-3/|title=Apple Announces iTunes 3|publisher=Apple|date=July 17, 2002|access-date=January 28, 2007|archive-date=July 13, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180713211537/https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2002/07/17Apple-Announces-iTunes-3/|url-status=live}} In April 2003, version 4.0 introduced the iTunes Store; in October, version 4.1 added support for Microsoft Windows 2000 and Windows XP.{{cite web|url=http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93141|title=iTunes 4: What's New|date=June 23, 2004|publisher=Apple|access-date=January 19, 2009|archive-date=June 6, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120606153823/http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93141|url-status=live}} Introduced at Macworld 2005 with the new iPod Shuffle, Version 4.7.1 introduced the ability to convert higher-bitrate songs to 128 kbit/s AAC automatically, as these devices did not natively support audio encoded in AIFF or Apple Lossless formats, also improving the value proposition of the Shuffle's limited flash-only storage.{{cite web|url=http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/ipodshuffleuserguide.pdf |title=iPod Shuffle Users Guide |publisher=Apple |date=January 11, 2005 |access-date=January 2, 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121021040711/http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/iPodshuffleUserGuide.pdf |archive-date=October 21, 2012 |df=mdy }} Version 7.0 introduced gapless playback and Cover Flow in September 2006.{{cite press release|url=https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2006/09/12Apple-Announces-iTunes-7-with-Amazing-New-Features/|title=Apple Announces iTunes 7 with Amazing New Features|date=September 12, 2006|publisher=Apple|access-date=January 19, 2009|archive-date=October 9, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171009155001/https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2006/09/12Apple-Announces-iTunes-7-with-Amazing-New-Features/|url-status=live}} In March 2007, iTunes 7.1 added support for Windows Vista,{{cite web|url=https://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20031016-2986.html|title=iTunes and the iTunes Music Store comes to Windows|first=Ken|last=Fisher|date=October 16, 2003|work=Ars Technica|access-date=January 28, 2007|archive-date=September 30, 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070930033630/http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20031016-2986.html|url-status=live}} and 7.3.2 was the last Windows 2000 version.{{cite web|url=http://www.oldapps.com/itunes.php?old_itunes=37|title=Win2Ksp4|access-date=March 30, 2012|archive-date=March 7, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120307183540/http://www.oldapps.com/itunes.php?old_itunes=37|url-status=live}}
Until January 16, 2008 with the 7.6 update, iTunes lacked support for 64-bit versions of Windows. iTunes is currently supported under any 64-bit version of Windows, although the iTunes executable was still 32-bit until version 12.1. The 64-bit versions of Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 are not supported by Apple, but a workaround has been devised for both operating systems.[https://web.archive.org/web/20080412033719/http://www.planetamd64.com/index.php?showtopic=35132&st=0&p=327771& iTunes is now 64-bit].

On September 9, 2009, iTunes 9 added "Home Share" enabling automatic updating of purchased items across other computers on the same subnet and offers a new iTunes Store {{Abbr|UI|user interface}}. Genius Mixes were added, as well as improved App synchronization abilities, extending the iPod Shuffle 128 kbit/s down-convert feature to all of Apple's AAC-capable devices.{{cite web |title=iTunes for Windows |url=https://famousfile.com/itunes-for-windows/ |access-date=February 7, 2024 |work=Famous File |date=February 26, 2021 |publisher=}} It also adds iTunes LPs to the store, which gives additional media with an album.

On September 1, 2010, Apple held their annual music press event where they unveiled an updated version: iTunes 10. The new version was available for download later that day. One major feature includes the integration of "iTunes Ping", which brings a social factor to the iTunes experience. Apple CEO Steve Jobs also announced a new logo, one without a CD in the background because of the increasing popularity of iTunes digital downloads.
In October 2012, Apple announced the launch of the iPhone 5 and iPad Mini, the refresh of the iPod and Mac lines, and the upcoming release of iTunes 11. Slated for release by the end of October, the launch was pushed back to November 29, 2012. This version included tighter integration with iCloud, and a new user interface. Users' libraries now include all media they have stored in their iCloud account, along with any media unique to the device they are using. Media files stored in the cloud don't need to be downloaded before playing, allowing a larger collection to be accessible without increased disk usage. The new user interface includes a refreshed grid view, which replaces Cover Flow as the default layout method. With this change, Cover Flow is no longer available within the application. With the release of this software, the iTunes Store was redesigned to remain consistent with the new interface, and the stores available on iOS devices. The social element Ping was also removed and replaced by increased Twitter and Facebook integration. Other minor changes included disabling the sidebar by default, and slightly altering the icon to match that of the Mac App Store better.
On October 16, 2014, Apple released iTunes 12, with a redesigned icon and interface, inspired by OS X Yosemite. With iTunes 12.1 and later, there is a new widget for notification center in OS X Yosemite, which allows the user to see what's playing, skip ahead, and even buy songs from iTunes Radio, right from notification center. It also improves performance when syncing to an iOS device.
On April 26, 2018, Apple released iTunes 12 for Windows 10 via the Windows Store. The Universal Windows Platform app retains all features available in the desktop version, but will be updated and available through the Windows Store.{{cite web|title=iTunes is now available in the Microsoft Store for Windows 10|last=Warren|first=Tom|date=April 26, 2018|url=https://www.theverge.com/2018/4/26/17287260/itunes-windows-10-microsoft-store-download|access-date=April 28, 2018|work=The Verge|archive-date=January 20, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210120232526/https://www.theverge.com/2018/4/26/17287260/itunes-windows-10-microsoft-store-download|url-status=live}}
On June 3, 2019, Apple stated that they would no longer include iTunes with future Mac computers. Starting with the operating system macOS Catalina, Apple instead split iTunes into separate apps: Apple Music, Apple TV, and Apple Podcasts.{{cite magazine |last1=Barrett |first1=Brian |title=iTunes Is Dead, Let's Pay Our Respects |url=https://www.wired.com/story/apple-kills-itunes/ |magazine=Wired (magazine) |access-date=June 4, 2019 |date=June 3, 2019 |quote=Apple clarified Monday that iTunes for Windows would continue on its current state. |archive-date=June 4, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190604000018/https://www.wired.com/story/apple-kills-itunes/ |url-status=live }}{{Cite web |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/03/technology/wwdc-apple.html |title=Apple's WWDC Highlights: Death of iTunes and $6,000 Macs |date=2019-06-03 |website=The New York Times |access-date=2019-06-04 |archive-date=June 4, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190604074008/https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/03/technology/wwdc-apple.html |url-status=live }} iTunes continues to be available on Windows and on macOS operating systems prior to Catalina.
