About iTunes
The iTunes Store is Apple’s digital download store for music. Unlike a streaming subscription, songs and albums are purchased individually and then remain permanently available in the user’s personal library.
Purchased music can be managed and downloaded again through the Apple Music app or iTunes on compatible devices and synchronized with the personal library. The store therefore remains an important channel for users who want to purchase music files directly.
Artist and release attribution is closely connected with the wider Apple music ecosystem. Information about Apple Music, Spatial Audio and Shazam is covered in more detail on our Apple Music page.
Key Markets
The iTunes Store is available in numerous countries and regions. Catalogue, pricing and available content may vary by market.
Key Features
Individual purchase of songs and albums, permanent downloads, integration with the Apple library, and close connection with Apple Music and Shazam.
Information for Artists & Labels
