Whee is iTunes app on MacBook Pro using Big Sur?

Hi,

Itunes has been replaced. What happened to iTunes? – Apple Support (UK)

Jim

I must be doing something wrong. I don't have a Apple Music subscription. I choose a song to sample and a subscription ad opens. I close it and try again. the same thing happens. Is there any way to sample a song for purchase without purchasing an annual subscription to apple Music?

Hi,

See this Buy music from the iTunes Store - Apple Support

Jim

so now we are forced to pay fr Apple Music?

Hi,

No. You don’t need to subscribe to Apple Music. You will use the music app in the same way as with iTunes for music playing.
