Listen to Apple Podcasts with iTunes (FREE) on Windows 11

You can listen to Apple Podcasts via Apple website but I think listening via iTunes is a better experiences. iTunes is beautiful, you will be in a convenient place -- menus, images, adjustable window size.

 

iTunes for Mac died. One website says "It will only install on Macs running macOS 10.13.99 or earlier", but on Windows 11, I can use it for listening to Apple Podcasts.

 

The test steps -  iTunes 12.13.2.3
OS: Windows 11 Home
Install from Microsoft Store

 

 

1. Go to Microsoft Store and install it by clicking a button 'Get'.

The picture above, I was done installing it, a button was changed to 'Open'.


2. Open the app and click 'Go to the iTunes Store'.

Click a button 'Continue'.


Select 'Podcasts' at a drop-down list.

If you see a message 'Item not available in your country", scroll down to the bottom and click 'Country or Region'.

Click 'United States'.

To download some episodes, click a podcast.

 

Click a button 'Get'.



If you see an icon in the picture below, that means downloading is in a progress.


When it's done, that icon disappears.

Go to the downloaded episode, click 'Library'.

Click 'Unplayed'.

Click 'Continue'.

Play a podcast.


The beautiful interface of iTunes.

'Unplayed' tab

 
I experienced the issue after clicking a 'Subscribe' button below a podcast cover.
 

 

I used a 3 dot icon in tab 'Feed' to subscribe.

There was no problem.

3. On the web, if you scroll down, a podcast cover will disappear.

In iTunes, you can see a podcast cover.

I like iTunes, it shows strong passions of developers to make this app great.
