kye Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Nice use of completely related clip art! ??? I also have no love for iTunes, but for me whatever it is will have to sync apps and music to my iPhone, so how the hell will I do that if they take out iTunes? kaylee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a computer technician for about a decade and it was kind of like you bought 90% of a working system from various manufacturers and had to figure out the remaining 10% of it yourself. My dad is very technical and concerned with privacy so doesn't use Microsoft or Apple, and uses Linux and after being forced to get a smartphone (because "there's an app for that" turned into "there's ONLY an app for that") and now runs Android in a secure little bubble inside a linux installation. It's free and secure and all he had to do was spend about a year figuring it all out and several hours a week being his own systems administrator and troubleshooting things that just break for whatever reason. No model is great, so I just think about it like it's pick the least worst and get on with your life. On 8/18/2019 at 12:59 PM, Robert Collins said: What exactly do you use iTunes for? I use it on my Mac to put music onto my iPhone. I also use it to play music on my Mac because I had to go to all the trouble of creating all the playlists for my phone anyway. It's also good for backing up your phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Members BTM_Pix Posted August 20, 2019 Super Members Share Posted August 20, 2019 MacX MediaTrans is the most iTunes like alternative to iTunes and has a couple of extra tricks. Its a paid app but has a free trial. https://www.macxdvd.com/mediatrans/ kye 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
