iTunes 12.13.4.4

iTunes for Windows lets you connect and manage your Apple devices to your Windows computer.

Most Windows geeks who use an iPhone consider iTunes for Windows a necessary evil. It wants to take over as your default player. After installation, you will have Apple Application Support (32 AND 64 bit), Apple Mobile Device Support, Apple Software Update, Bonjour (ugh), and one more… oh yeah, iTunes. It also comes with at least one startup item and a few processes. All we want to do is manage our playlist, but Apple wants to take over your PC.

You think this might all be worth it, but honestly, we have always found the interface easy to use, assuming you’re just doing the basics. Anything else can be tricky and require looking up how to use it. iCloud always wants to install, and you have to authorize your phone every time you plug it in without iTunes for Windows. We are banging our heads against the desk as we write this. But we got my playlist updated, so there’s that.

iPhones can now do most of what you need without iTunes, so you don’t need or want this unless you want to manage movies, music, etc. Other third-party programs do this, but they rarely work as well as iTunes for Windows, even with all its faults.
