• Is Apple working on a successor to iTunes for Windows 10 and Xbox?

It looks like Apple might be working on a new media app for Windows 10 and it could finally kill iTunes, just like it did on your Mac PCs. For anyone using an Apple mobile device, like an iPhone, iPad, or iPod, but Own a Windows PC, iTunes is a necessary but often unwanted installation. Many people who had to use iTunes on Windows did it because they had to, but the user experience was generally poor. And, while Apple split iTunes into individual apps on the Mac, it stuck with a single iTunes app for Windows 10 devices. However, a new job listing for a senior software engineer has surfaced online, "to work on the next generation of multimedia applications for Windows". This suggests that Apple is now looking to replace iTunes with a new (and hopefully improved) media player app for Windows 10.

Are you coming to Xbox too?

Interestingly, as Windows Latest points out, the job description says "UWP experience is a huge plus." This suggests that the media app will be based on Microsoft's Universal Windows Platform (UWP), which means you can download it from the Microsoft Store, Windows 10's built-in app store. So it should also be available on PCs running Windows 10 S mode. However, UWP apps can also run on Xbox One (and we're assuming the upcoming Xbox Series X), so it's likely that the media app will work 'Apple is also available on Microsoft consoles . I hope this media app improves some of iTunes' biggest complaints and issues when it arrives at some point in the future.
