I have itunes on a windows 11 laptop where i get most of the old rock from. I know apple and windows do not play well together. Then I load up the USB from the laptop. Thanks
Try downloading an app called Media Monkey. It plays well with Apple products, on Windoze and virtually replaces all iTunes functionality. It has a much better UI and is a native Windoze app.
You cam also use it as a media server and sync to it, via wifi. There is also an Android companion player that will sync, as well. The Gold version gives you lifetime updates. The demo is full functioning.
Best of all, you can convert music to MP3 and other formats, quite simply, from within the UI. You can import tracks to the library, or rip straight off a cd, or other connected media source.
Not affiliated with MM, just REALLY enjoy it replacing shitty iTunes, on my devices.
