Apple to Start Offering iTunes on the Windows Store

I'm fairly sure that Windows Store apps have to be written in UWP (Universal Windows Platform) which would mean a complete rewrite of the application. So who knows maybe it'll improve

Nope, it allows for repackaged win32 apps (or whatever they call the old fashioned desktop programs) too.

Most people have more unique tastes. Spotify keeps tabs on what you listen to, how often you listen to it, how much of it you listen to, which playlists you put it in. It compares that against what everyone else does. It knows what you want to listen to right now and it gives you something brand new that you've never heard of, from an artist you've never heard of, from the other side of the planet, that only a few dozen people have ever heard, and it's the most amazing thing you've ever heard.

And again and again. I've built up a massive catalog of hundreds of artists nobody has ever heard of before, but I found them because Spotify knew that I would love them.

that was kinda my experience with Apple Music. Can't say my music taste is generic, sorry.

Maybe they're improving their algorithms as more users use it... (its hard to build it without massive amounts of data unfortunately)

I don't say I love Apple not releasing iTunes on Linux. I cannot care even less about whether Apple will release iTunes to Linux.

I post something everyone "supposed to be knowing " because one comment seems to forget that fact.

Nope, the fact that that you missed the end of the poster's comment was the issue. He wasn't even talking about Linux servers, he was talking about Linux Desktops.

You mean you can't get on any computer, open a browser, log onto your tunes account and access your stuff?

Yikes! Talk about being held hostage!

I read everywhere how iTunes is bulky and slow. But personally I never had any issue with it. It runs perfectly.
But I still think it should be split into smaller apps.

I love iTunes and have used it daily for 6 years. It's really not that clunky:
Command - 1 music
Command - 2 movies
Command - 3 TV shows.

I don't want separate apps that I have to switch between. It opens in an instant with a 300GB library.


Only think I'd like separates is device sync. Manual syncing has become a horrible, buggy, error prone experience.

Running iTunes 10 on Snow Leopard not bothered upgrading to iTunes 11 being satisfied how things are. Sure you cannot sync the latest devices but as a media tool iTunes 10 is just fine.

I run an older version of iTunes, for the single reason that it's not so bloated as the current version(s), I only need a music player, nothing more.
 
Million dollar question....

If it's in the store, will it work on an xbox... hmmmm....
 
Its been a while since I used Windows (Windows 7). But back then, you could just download the exe file from Apple's website, is this not possible with Windows 10 ?

You can if you're running a regular version of Windows 10. But if you're running Windows 10 S, you can only install software from the Windows Store.
