I have used iTunes for many years on a 32 bit laptop and have 160gb plus of music ripped from personal CDs. I recently bought a new laptop running Windows 11 at 64 bit. I am unable to install iTunes. I have installed Apple Music which has pulled across all my existing music but I do not have a facility to rip more music or then transfer to a mixture of iPhones, iPad and old iPods. Any suggestions, please?
iPhone 13, iOS 16
You can download the latest Windows version here:
Download iTunes for Windows - Apple Support
Though actually, the link within the page above sends you to the Microsoft Store.

See Move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Community for advice on copying over your library.
Direct link to the current version of the traditional installer: https://www.apple.com/itunes/download/win64.
Note that for full iTunes functionality you need to remove Apple Music/Apple Devices/Apple TV. When either of these is installed iTunes is limited to managing audiobooks and podcasts.

Hi Jim,
I've tended to favour the standalone installer for myself, not least because I maintain a user tip with links to each new build. That said I don't think there is much in it if whatever you've currently got installed works. The Microsoft Store version should update silently, the standalone version allows you to walk back to an older build if the current one has a new bug that affects you. Some users seem to have more issues syncing with one version and switching sometimes helps.

Still there. Edit > Song Info, or use the Ctrl+i shortcut. See Change song and CD information in iTunes on PC - Apple Support. The tabs and fields displayed vary slightly depending on whether you have a single or multiple tracks selected. The small square at the top left can be used to paste artwork for multiple tracks.

Thanks TT2, VERY much!
I'll be betting a new laptop w/ Win11 vs. my current Win10 in a few months and am starting to lay out a strategy
for trying to keep my sync. working between Outlook 2021 and my iPhone 13.
I have the store version on my Win10 laptop, but with updates disabled.
That way I can try and maintain version control.
On the new machine I'll go with the stand-alone installer.
THANKs for supporting us huddled masses ;-)

Thanks for all the responses. That has solved my problem. iTunes installed, new CD ripped and downloaded to both my phone and an iPod. The only first world problem is that the "album info" setting allowing you to import photos of album artwork has gone. Heigh ho!
File > Library > Get Album Artwork should attempt to get album artwork from the iTunes Store as long as you are signed into your Apple ID. Or select some tracks and use Ctrl+i to get Song Info. The small square at the top left can be used as a destination to paste in artwork you've downloaded from the web.

Thanks. That presupposes the item is available in the store. Like I say, first world problem, but you used to be able to save a picture from, say, Amazon and upload into iTunes under the "Album Info" tab, which no longer appears. You could also edit the title or other info about the album under the same tab. Very useful for avoiding the problem of "Various Artists" under the artists listing where someone does a track featuring someone else. I suppose that's progress!
TT2:
Do you have an opinion on the stand-alone installer version vs. the Microsoft store version
for use on a new Win11 64-bit machine?
Thanks as always!
Jim
You're welcome. 🙂
