I went into the Apple store in Sydney yesterday to ask some questions but what they couldn't tell me was, since new Apple devices come without iTunes any more
"Apple Music" app replaces what was once called "iTunes" which contained, music, videos and post casts into one app. So technically "iTunes" still exists its just called something else.
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210200
I thought "Apple Music App" is merely a streaming service app for the Mac with no ability to play or tag your local music collection? Not sure though, as I don't use a Mac currently.

I have thousands of CDs uploaded via iTunes on my Microsoft Surface, which I access on my Google Pixel phone and Pixelbook using the Apple Music app for Android.
So in my Apple product-less world, it's still iTunes on my pc but Apple Music everywhere else.
iTunes is occasionally a little buggy, but has been working fine for me (for hours) on my Surface, and similarly the Apple Music app generally works very well on my phone. I don't use it much on my Pixelbook.

Says right in the link I provided, "The Apple Music app and Apple TV app read the contents of your iTunes library — so don't delete your iTunes library."
While new Apple computers don't come with an internal burner drive you can purchase and hook up an external burner drive and import CD's into your music app like before. I believe Apple Music App looks and works pretty much the same as the old iTunes app, they just removed the video/books/podcast options.
The link is -- for me -- not quite clear, as it says "All of your music is now in the Apple Music app
The Apple Music app is where you can find all of your music, including music that you imported in to iTunes, purchased from the iTunes Store, and playlists and smart playlists that you created in iTunes. "
Well, I would hope my music stays where it is (in a folder called ".../music/ALAC"). But of course, if it means the music stays where it is an can be accessed to the Apple Music App, that would be different. Presumably, you can also curate and tag your music with Apple Music App? As I said, I am not currently using a Mac.

What I'm saying is the "Apple Music" app works just like the "iTunes" app. They just removed movies, books and podcasts from the app and put it in their own dedicated apps.

Does the "Apple Music App" on MacOS import and tag CD based content, or do I have to use the old iTunes for that?
