Question marked as
Repeated from the previous page:
What is clear from the June 2019 Apple Keynote is that iTunes on Mac is splitting up into separate apps for Music, Podcasts, and TV. Syncing becomes a service of Finder. The music in your iTunes library will end up in the new Music app. Likewise podcasts and video content will go to their respective homes. What happens on Windows is yet to be seen, but this is evolution rather than the end of an era. The iTunes Store isn't shutting down.
This is happening in the next version of macOS, christened Catalina, coming in the fall. Whether there are parallel changes for Windows and earlier versions of macOS is still an open question. I haven't had a chance to rewatch the video for additional clues.

So how will we sync and backup our devices, move files from PC into various apps, etc....? This seems like a pretty drastic reduction in functionality....no device management now?
Again we don't have the details yet, but the Apple event should start in less than 20 minutes and hopefully all will be explained then.

I have heard that this is happening. Does anyone know when it will be taking place with effect. Where do I stand if I lose my iTunes content even though Apple are saying it will be ok.
