Cant open Ibook on mac

Hi, when I attempt to open a book in iBooks a prompt pops up telling me "This book cant be opened there is a problem with iTunes 42408 reinstall and try again.

One thread said to delete and reinstall iTunes, but i am afraid if i do this i will lose my music, Also WHY THE F DO MY IBOOKS HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH ITUNES WHY ARENT IBOOKS WHERE IBOOKS ARE SUPPOSE TO be, seems like common sense to me :)

error message in books: says it can't open the book because there is a problem with iTunes I was able to read my book in April 2020, but now when I try to open it in my mac's 'Books' app, I get this message: "This book can't be opened. There is a problem with iTunes (--42408). Reinstall iTunes, then try again." Why the heck is this happening? My Books app is v1.19(1645), my iTunes app v12.9.5; both are up-to-date for my mac which is running macOS Mojave v10.14.6 (I can't update to Catalina or higher because my MS Office for mac 2011 will stop functioning)

iTunes crashes when opening on intel Mac OS Ventura I've got a less than 3 yr old intel iMac and the latest version of Ventura. I rarely use iTunes on my Mac...I can't remember the most recent time. Trying to start the program, it opens and crashes within a second or two. Sometimes with a crash report panel, sometimes not. Restarting my Mac didn't help. Any idea where to go with this?
