I can't add MP3 to my playlist on the dumb music app. Give me Itunes

the music one is not helping. I do not understand, is there any way to get iTunes back?

Recently I have upgraded my computer's OS to Monterey v 12.0.1 and I have downloaded the iTunes V.12.8.3. this version of iTunes does not installed. so please advise me what should I do?

thanks

you can try third party app like itools, maybe they worked.but I am not 100% sure

Retroactive is compatible with Monterey.

All I know is that they must have fed the iTunes App to some cattle, and what ever came out the other end, they scooped up and put it on our computers for media apps. Sounds crude I know, but a lot of times it feels that way. I have no way around it yet. Unless you buy a PC cheap just to use iTunes as a server. I did do that, and it is better than the other apps for me.

I also have also updated to macOS Monterey. I do not care about Amazon Music. Why I needed iTunes was because I do a lot of driving and listen to audiobooks on my iPOD Nano. It's more convenient, I can leave it attached in the car, and don't have to fool around with my iPhone every time I get in the car. Now that audiobooks are downloaded into Books, and iTunes is no longer there to help with the transfer, what do I do? I've tried everything, even downloading another product to help with the transfer. But nothing will "connect" with Books except iTunes.

Not only that but if you share your iTunes library with Music, it does not recognize play counts, it does not update play counts and it just magically stops playing sometimes after 15 seconds and sometimes a bit longer. Horrible user experience with Music. I would give it negative stars if they would allow us. I would like iTunes back, however, thankful I still have a Windows box for all my media, because I have a feeling it would have been hosed by Music!

Are you actually saying that Apple is abandoning all its users who have loaded their iTunes with LPs, CDs (they bought), private music lessons, etcetera, ad infinitum, ad naseum???

I feel totally betrayed is you are just dumping our iTunes.

But some of us are musicians who have used iTunes in our learning, teaching etc. It is not just about listening for our pleasure...it is a professional tool. The Music App is not even close to serving our needs. I have 17,000 tunes I constantly search for gig list practice. I cannot work without that process.

I couldn't agree with you more, gmeadors. I feel like Apple has gone all out to not only control but also force us to pay them to access all our own music. I am currently trying to activate iTunes in Monterey, but predictably, it's not going well. More and more, I feel gouged and bullied by Apple. Apple Music is so flawed I can't believe they released and forced it on us.

I wasn't able to get Retroactive to work with iTunes on a newly purchased MacBook Air with the latest OS. I posted to the GitHub project, but the suggestions didn't get it working. I wouldn't rely on it working if you depend on iTunes --- Apple can change something in any OS update that makes it not work again.
