install iTunes on new 64 bit PC

You can download the latest Windows version here:

Download iTunes for Windows - Apple Support

Though actually, the link within the page above sends you to the Microsoft Store.

See Move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Community for advice on copying over your library.

Direct link to the current version of the traditional installer: https://www.apple.com/itunes/download/win64.

Note that for full iTunes functionality you need to remove Apple Music/Apple Devices/Apple TV. When either of these is installed iTunes is limited to managing audiobooks and podcasts.

Hi Jim,

I've tended to favour the standalone installer for myself, not least because I maintain a user tip with links to each new build. That said I don't think there is much in it if whatever you've currently got installed works. The Microsoft Store version should update silently, the standalone version allows you to walk back to an older build if the current one has a new bug that affects you. Some users seem to have more issues syncing with one version and switching sometimes helps.

Still there. Edit > Song Info, or use the Ctrl+i shortcut. See Change song and CD information in iTunes on PC - Apple Support. The tabs and fields displayed vary slightly depending on whether you have a single or multiple tracks selected. The small square at the top left can be used to paste artwork for multiple tracks.

Thanks TT2, VERY much!

I'll be betting a new laptop w/ Win11 vs. my current Win10 in a few months and am starting to lay out a strategy

for trying to keep my sync. working between Outlook 2021 and my iPhone 13.

I have the store version on my Win10 laptop, but with updates disabled.

That way I can try and maintain version control.

On the new machine I'll go with the stand-alone installer.

THANKs for supporting us huddled masses ;-)

File > Library > Get Album Artwork should attempt to get album artwork from the iTunes Store as long as you are signed into your Apple ID. Or select some tracks and use Ctrl+i to get Song Info. The small square at the top left can be used as a destination to paste in artwork you've downloaded from the web.

TT2:

Do you have an opinion on the stand-alone installer version vs. the Microsoft store version

for use on a new Win11 64-bit machine?

Thanks as always!

Jim

You're welcome. 🙂
