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 Clementine or AIMP. Other great apps like iTunes are foobar2000, Winamp, Audacious and Strawberry.

iTunes alternatives are mainly Audio Players, but if you're looking for Media Players or Internet Radio Services you can filter on that. Other popular filters include Self-Hosted + Open Source. 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.- Audio Player

Comments about Swinsian as an Alternative to iTunes
Alec KinnearSwinsian just works. You add music files to it and it plays them. Doesn't move them, doesn't crash, doesn't complain. Very easy to build playlists which also don't just disappear. Swinsian just helps you listen to music in a simple and easy environment, while allowing you to build playlists as you go.
It's just a podcast player
