What is the difference between Apple Music and iTunes?

Asked 2 years ago
Apple Music and iTunes serve different purposes, though they are both part of Apple's music ecosystem. Apple Music is a subscription-based service that allows users to stream a vast library of over seventy million songs, curated playlists, and exclusive content. Subscribers can listen to music on-demand, create and share playlists, and enjoy personalized recommendations based on their listening habits. Apple Music also includes features such as radio stations and access to music videos. On the other hand, iTunes is primarily a digital media player and media library application that allows users to purchase, download, and manage their music and other media. Users can organize their music collections, create their own playlists, and sync content with their devices. While the iTunes Store allows users to buy individual tracks or albums, it does not offer a subscription model for unlimited access to music like Apple Music does. Since the introduction of Apple Music, it is worth noting that some features of iTunes have been integrated into Apple Music. However, both platforms coexist, each fulfilling distinct needs for music consumption and management.
