Lyrics are supported on iTunes, but they’re buried in an info panel or from the Mini Player:īefore researching for this piece, I couldn’t have told you with confidence that lyrics were even supported on the Mac. Just swipe up on the Now Playing screen and Lyrics are an option when available: The Music app on the iPad also makes finding lyrics on Apple Music much easier than the iTunes app on the Mac. Hopefully the new version includes release year though:
UPLOADING AUIDO BOOK TO ITUNES VERSION 11 MAC
With Music expected to come to the Mac as a standalone app based on the iPad version, we can point to several existing features and design choices on iOS today that would be welcomed on the Mac.įor example, saved Apple Music playlists look way better in the Music app than iTunes where they’ve been squeezed into the sidebar and can’t be viewed like albums.Īnd here’s the Mac version crammed into the left sidebar under Apple Music Playlists: The biggest test of “Marzipan” will be when an existing Mac app that isn’t used begrudgingly is replaced with an iPad-based version with no fallback option for upgraders. The new media apps will practically replace iTunes going forward though, but there are few users who just love using iTunes in 2019. iTunes will remain as a fallback while the old version of the Books app will likely be replaced (and a few Mac-specific features likely discontinued). With Music, Podcasts, TV, and Books, the situation is a bit different. Audiobook playback will move from iTunes to the new version of the Books app which we expect to resemble the redesigned Books app for iPad.Īpple’s first four “ Marzipan” apps brought versions of iPad apps that were slightly adapted to the Mac and didn’t exist on macOS before: Home, News, Voice Memos, and Stocks. A redesigned version of the Books app is also expected based on our reporting.

Think iPhoto to Photos transition.Īpple has already announced that its new TV app will come to the Mac later this year, and our report includes the first look at the app icon for the movies and TV shows video player. ITunes isn’t expected to be removed so diehard fans can continue using the app, but we probably shouldn’t expect continued development of iTunes in a world with Music and Podcasts apps on the Mac. iTunes is expected to stick around for now, which suggests Apple’s new apps won’t include every legacy feature, but iPad-based versions of Music and Podcasts would actually introduce features to the Mac that aren’t available yet.īased on our reporting and what we’ve seen so far, we should expect versions of the Music and Podcasts apps that run on the iPad to be adapted to the Mac in macOS 10.15 later this year. 9to5Mac’s Gui Rambo independently confirmed that the next major version of macOS will introduce standalone Music and Podcasts apps on the Mac. The big news this week is that this fall may finally be the beginning of the end for iTunes.
