That’s possible too, but is a separate topic-for more details, check out Take Control of macOS Media Apps, by Kirk McElhearn. We’re focusing on network sharing here, not syncing media to an iPhone or iPad. To be clear, we’re talking about content stored in the Media folders specified in the Music and TV apps’ preferences-they may still point to an old iTunes Media folder. When you do that, sharing that media with your other Apple devices over your local Wi-Fi network continues to work through Home Sharing, but how you manage that technology has changed. Nevertheless, even though iTunes has been replaced by the Music and TV apps on the Mac, it’s still possible to maintain your libraries of music and videos on your Mac. Of late, however, streaming has become Apple’s preferred media consumption approach, thanks to the rise of Apple Music and the way the Apple TV app aggregates video streaming services like Netflix. In the heyday of iTunes, Apple users stored their music, movies, and TV shows on their Macs and shared them with other Macs in their homes, as well as their iPhones, iPads, and Apple TVs.
