How to remove music from iTunes and beyond: learning how to work with media files

Today we have to figure out how to delete music on iTunes. In addition, we will get acquainted with some other features of this application in relation to "apple" devices and media files.

Formats

First of all, you need to understand that Apple products do not work with all music formats. Some files are not accepted by iPhone and iPad. But this does not mean that you can’t work with them in any way.

ITunes music formats recognized without much difficulty will be:

• MP3
• Wav.
• ALAC.
• Audible
• AAC.
• MP3 VBR.
• AIFF.

Other formats are not recognized. When they are downloaded, they automatically convert to AAC. This greatly facilitates the work with IT. The presence of a built-in converter distinguishes the studied application and attracts users.

Adding

1. Run the latest version of the application. It is important that it is not lower than build 12.2. Otherwise, the program will not have a menu for working with music.
2. Log in to AppleID. The corresponding request usually pops up the first time the utility is launched.
3. Click on the "Login" button.
4. Select "File" and "Add to Library ...".
