Will I still be able to use iTunes when Apple stops support and updates? I have 20,000 tracks in playlists, my organised archive. I don't buy tunes, I rip or download classical music. Will the software survive in all future versions of MacOS?

The rumours of the death of iTunes have been somewhat exaggerated. iTunes is staying exactly the same except for those who install the next version of macOS 10.15 Catalina where the functions will be split between three new apps and Finder, the Mac equivalent to Windows Explorer. See About the upcoming changes with iTunes on Mac - Apple Support for details that have been made public so far.
