Apple is reportedly planning to kill iTunes this year
As reported earlier, Apple will indeed break up the various features currently offered by iTunes into three separate apps - Music, TV and Podcasts - à la iOS. Interestingly, and contrary to the earlier report, iTunes may be retired from macOS entirely. The previous report suggested that the app may still have some use for syncing Apple devices, but the new report claims these duties will apparently also be transported to the Music app, making the iTunes app entirely obsolete for macOS users.
Of course, a similar change is unlikely to happen on Windows and so the app may still stick around on Microsoft's OS, at least. We'll get more details about the change when the Cupertino giant announces its next big update to macOS at WWDC 2019, slated for June 3. We're likely also going to see reveals for iOS 13, watchOS 6 and tvOS 13 at the event.

it is about time, the only time you'd catch me using itunes was to connect my iphone to it. The music is horrible and apple music does a much better deal then this application.

Am in the minority that is affected. I very often am in situations which do not have access to internet, and thus like to have my songs downloaded onto my phone. Hoping Apple will still accommodate the desires of those like me in the future on their phones.

This personally will not affect me but it certainly sucks for people who like to add music to their iPhone through iTunes.
