iTunes to Authorize Devices on Apple ID

I've just read that iTunes cannot be downloaded on Monterey 12.6.8. I need a way to access my account settings for Apple ID to authorize all devices to download what has been downloaded on others. I have a Macbook Air 13" 2017 A1466. As google/Apple says to look in my Apple Books, iTunes, Music app do not allow me to authorize all devices. I did have the chance to deauthorize all, thinking that I could just authorize all after, but it does not have this option anymore.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.6
