You’ll find it easy and intuitive to move from music to movies and podcasts to the iTunes Store, and when you do, you’ll find another pro - the massive selection you’ll find there. Visually, the app is sleek and easy to navigate and has a nice mini-player that lets you close the main window when playing your music. For many, all the options offered by iTunes are simply unnecessary but there will be a small number who do, in fact, want to control everything from a central hub or exercise huge control over playlists or streaming options. Windows/Apple debate aside, iTunes is a great app for those who like significant customization and input into the way their media plays. If you’re a Windows user who also uses an iPhone (!), iTunes is the primary way you will manage syncing. This is a gateway into the Apple ecosystem and the way many Windows users set things up so as to have at least a toe in the Appleverse. Once you’re in, you can access your local iTunes libraries, wherever they may be - on another computer, an iPhone, etc. ITunes is designed to work best when you’re signed into an Apple account. Of course, you’ll get old favorites like music and video, but iTunes also offers you access to podcasts, TV programs, radio, items from the App store, and audio books, all from within the same interface. For starters, it offers you a multitude of media options.
