Having said what I did just a minute ago, it is of course very risky to have all your music in iTunes Media and not to have any backups just as it is risky not to have backups of all your other data whether documents, pictures or music.

The article from the Verge also had links for the user guides for all three apps: Apple has announced a major change for Windows users who use iTunes for Windows with an iPhone or to access Apple Music and Apple TV. For Windows 10 or later, Apple has released new “standalone experiences” for Apple Music and Apple TV as well as a new Devices management app to replace former functionality in iTunes for Windows: • Apple Devices<https://go.redirectingat.com/?id=111346X1569486&url=https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9NP83LWLPZ9K&xcust=1-1-2230075-1-0-0&sref=https://www.macworld.com/article/2230075/itunes-windows-end-of-life-music-tv-devices-apps.html>: This is the app for iPhone users to manage their iPhones: perform backups, sync data, and install iOS updates. • Read the Apple Devices User Guide<https://go.redirectingat.com/?id=111346X1569486&url=https://support.apple.com/guide/devices-windows/welcome/windows&xcust=1-1-2230075-1-0-0&sref=https://www.macworld.com/article/2230075/itunes-windows-end-of-life-music-tv-devices-apps.html>. • Apple Music<https://go.redirectingat.com/?id=111346X1569486&url=https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9PFHDD62MXS1&xcust=1-1-2230075-1-0-0&sref=https://www.macworld.com/article/2230075/itunes-windows-end-of-life-music-tv-devices-apps.html>: Access the Apple Music service and your personal library, as well as manage music on Apple Devices.

The app supports 4K playback, subscription services, and MLS Season Pass. • Read the Apple TV User Guide<https://go.redirectingat.com/?id=111346X1569486&url=https://support.apple.com/guide/tvapp-windows/welcome/windows&xcust=1-1-2230075-1-0-0&sref=https://www.macworld.com/article/2230075/itunes-windows-end-of-life-music-tv-devices-apps.html>. For audiobooks and podcasts, Windows users still use the iTunes for Windows app. That app is also used if any of the new apps don’t run on your PC. Apple released iTunes for Windows on October 16, 2003, with iPod and iTunes Music Store support. Apple has a support document with more information on the new apps<https://go.redirectingat.com/?id=111346X1569486&url=https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210384#619&xcust=1-1-2230075-1-0-0&sref=https://www.macworld.com/article/2230075/itunes-windows-end-of-life-music-tv-devices-apps.html>.
