Why? Because the macOS ‘Music’ app is still basically iTunes, just with less stuff in it. Thankfully, this didn’t pan out as I feared.īut. Aside from the predictable nostalgic element of the death of iTunes, I was especially concerned that Apple would turn the macOS Catalina Music app into one long advert for the Apple Music streaming service. I think I was one of the few people to really love and enjoy iTunes, so I found this news quite upsetting. Now, earlier this year, Apple took iTunes out to look at some rabbits, and then blew its brains out all over the grassy knoll. Although you don’t hear about this from Apple very often, there must be millions and millions of people who still buy MP3s and have active digital music libraries. I’m not talking about the Apple Music streaming service, but the digital file library. Is that so hard, Apple? Is it? Is it? First, some context All I want for Christmas is for Apple’s software division to pull its fist out of its own anus and actually give us a macOS Catalina Music app that’s genuinely good.

In fact, it’s actually a really mature, cool thing to do. Is it childish to wish upon a star? To creep downstairs in the dead of night and shout your deepest desires up the chimney in the hope that Santa is out there, watching, waiting… anticipating? To write an article basically begging one of the world’s biggest companies to do something because you’d really like it to happen?
