The same applies too for the Apple TV app. This app not only gives access to the Apple TV+ streaming service, but also to movies and series previously purchased via iTunes. Last but not least, Apple will soon make a new app called “Apple Devices” available for Windows via the Microsoft Store. This application already exists in preview.
Apple had already announced preview versions of Apple Music and Apple TV for Windows in October 2022. So you want to ignore the old iTunes app for Windows. This is why Apple devices are on the scene. This app is intended to be used in the future to sync between iOS and Windows, for example. By the way, there are indeed some interesting surprises hidden in the code.

Apple Music and Apple TV for Windows can unlock new target groups
It is clear that Apple is currently trying to expand its customer base and it is opening up. So the preview versions of the Apple Music and Apple TV apps are just one piece of the puzzle. It is said that Apple is also planning variants for Android. However, this has not been officially confirmed yet. However, this step makes sense to us: For AndroidTV You already provide an app for Apple TV.
The new preview apps for Windows appear to look very similar to their macOS counterparts. The customization of the Apple TV is that the navigation is not focused on tabs across the top of the screen, instead the sidebar is for that. The Apple Music app is closer to the macOS version. If you now want to try it: If you are using the preview versions, the iTunes app will not work again until you uninstall the preview apps. So keep this in mind if you’re syncing an iPod, for example.
It’s not yet clear when the final Windows ports for the Apple Music, Apple TV, and Apple apps will appear. We recommend that you wait for the preview to finish. If you are willing to experiment and can live with potential bugs and instability, you can of course give it a try.
