Joy is one of the critical elements in every human beings’ life. As the famous movie dialogue goes, the three most essential factors in the life of a human being are entertainment, entertainment, and entertainment only. Entertainment includes music, dance, movies, series, podcasts, etc.
Apple is one of the multinational companies famous for the unique products that it has introduced. One such fantastic app was iTunes. iTunes is a media player, radio broadcaster, media library, etc. It was developed by Apple company. Steve Jobs announced it on January 9, 2001. iTunes launched its music store in 2003. The music store sold one million songs in its first week. iTunes has ever since been the heart of Apple.
iTunes was first called SoundJam MP, released by Casady & Greene in 1998. It was renamed later when Apple purchased it in 2000. For Windows, it was introduced in 2003. And On April 26, 2018, iTunes was released on Microsoft Store for Windows 10, mainly to permit installation on Windows 10 devices configured to only permit installation of software from Microsoft Store.
iTunes features a music library. Every track has attributes, called metadata, that can be edited by the user, including changing the artist’s name, album, and genre, year of release, artwork, among other additional settings. People have widely used iTunes for the special features or specifications, such as iTunes visualizer and the mentioned in the above context. iTunes is also a central money-making platform for people in the entertainment field.
Artists making independent music have a lovely opportunity to release it on iTunes. Once the song gains popularity, the artist starts earning an income. It has its podcasts in which we have many motivational speakers giving motivational classes, which are listened to by millions of people, making it a more significant opportunity for such speakers to grow.
iPod, a beautiful product created by Apple, has a significant relationship with iTunes. iTunes was accused of being bloated as part of Apple’s efforts to turn it from a music player to an all-encompassing multimedia platform. iPod is a product used to listen to just songs and other podcasts. To add pieces to the iPod, iTunes comes into the picture. With the help of it, we can add our favorite songs to the iPod. The procedure is to install the iTunes Store on your PC, connect your iPod to the PC, select the pieces you like, and add it to the music library.

- Parental Lock
In the current world scenario, children are being introduced to electronic gadgets; while the parents are away, they try to use mobile phones or any electronic devices, and they unknowingly view the contents, which shouldn’t be watched or heard by them. So, not all the songs and videos apply to all age groups. Hence, iTunes has got the feature of the parental tab, which disables podcasts, radio, the store, and shared libraries and restricts content from the iTunes Store. Making it easy for the parents to protect their kids from explicit content. And this is also referred to as a magical weapon of every parent these days.
- Video TabThese days
Importing our favorite movies or series has become common. Still, it sometimes is that when we need the complete details of the particular video, we are unable to fetch it. Hence this feature is termed as one of the unique features of iTunes. When any tv episodes or series are imported from any other source rather than iTunes, the video may lack the required information. Here, the video tab comes into the picture by giving the exact knowledge of the content.
- Crossfade Songs
Every person using iTunes is a music editor now! There are times when we want to become an editor by taking a small part of one song, mixing it with the other, and making new audio. This feature fades out each song’s ending and disappears at the beginning of the next track.
