IPod Classic - how to sync music from my Win10 PC

I have 3 IPod classic devices (2 6th gen & 1 7th gen) and 1 Nano 3rd gen. They work great. For years I have used iTunes to load them with mp3 music from my PC. Now that iTunes is going away please tell me how I can continue to synch mp3 music from my WIN 10 PC to my iPods. (I don't use playlists I play entire albums.) Thanks.

I have been confused

about that from the first articles I have read. I use iTunes & iCloud for

Windows on my PC to synch my apple devices (3 ipod classics, 1 ipod nano, 2

iPhones, 1 iPad mini) to my Windows 10 PCs (I have 2). I have read (June 2019)

that iTunes is retiring the MAC version and the features will be split by media

(podcasts, movies & Apple music for streaming music). As of June 2019 it

was said that iTunes would live on for Windows users.... but I have found no

recent info online that is Windows specific. Of course when Apple moved iTunes

to be distributed by the Windows Store I had problems because they didn't

coordinate the versions of iTunes and iCloud app for windows when they moved

them to the Windows Store. Apple support helped me thru that debacle. I assumed

that what Apple is doing on the MAC it would expand into the Windows

environment at some time afterwards. Is there an online site where I can keep

up to date on the Apple plans for iTunes for Windows? Thanks.

What are you confused about?


It is quite clear, as of today (21st April 2020 at 9 am UK time) there has been no announcement about iTunes for Windows.


Apple specifically forbid speculation about future announcements, so while I may have my own views on the future of iTunes for Windows, the likely-hood is that anything I write about that here would be removed by our hosts (who are Apple).


The only thing that listening to unfounded speculation or the rumour mill does is to spread false or incorrect information (and unnecessary fear). What I have written is fact. So your choice is whether to accept a fact, as presented by me, or go with unfounded rumours.
