• Yes, Apple is yanking iTunes on Macs but, no, it won’t pull iTunes on Windows

  Chris Hoffman on How-To Geek has the details:

  iTunes will be replaced by separate Music, TV, and Podcasts apps… but only on macOS. Windows users will keep the current iTunes app they know and (often don’t) love.

  iTunes on Windows is the snarliest, most useless piece of junk I’ve ever struggled with. And I’ve struggled with it for well over a decade.

  Ah well.

• QuickTime only available with iTunes?

  Posted on March 12, 2009 at 20:49 CDT by woody • Comment in the Forums

  I just went to a Web site that requires QuickTime, and discovered that my copy of QuickTime is out of date. No  biggie. I hopped over to the Apple download page and…

  And was reminded that Apple tries to get you to install iTunes when you want QuickTime.

  I vaguely recall seeing links in the past to a QuickTime download without iTunes, but when I went looking, all I could find was http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/ . If you click on that link, it re-directs to the standard QuickTime download page – which doesn’t have a standalone version of Quicktime.

  As things stand, I guess I have to install iTunes on this computer if I want QuickTime. Blech.

  Does anybody have a link to the standalone QuickTime download?
