iTunes Alternatives

iTunes is described as 'Organizes audio, video, and playlists, streams Internet radio, syncs with devices, manages purchases, imports CDs, supports audiobooks, and runs on Windows or macOS' and is a leading Audio Player in the audio & music category. There are more than 100 alternatives to iTunes for a variety of platforms, including Windows, Mac, Linux, Android and iPhone apps. The best iTunes alternative is MusicBee. It's not free, so if you're looking for a free alternative, you could try MusicBee or Clementine. Other great apps like iTunes are foobar2000, AIMP, Winamp and Audacious.

filter to find the best alternatives

iTunes alternatives are mainly Audio Players, but if you're looking for Music Streaming Services or Internet Radio Services you can filter on that. Other popular filters include Linux, Open Source, Windows, Mac and Chrome OS. You can also filter by region, for example EU-based alternatives if you prefer software developed in the European Union. These are just examples - use the filter bar below to find more specific alternatives to iTunes.
