Can you still download MP3s from iTunes on Windows? It depends.

If you purchased songs from the iTunes Store, you can convert them to MP3 directly in iTunes on Windows. You go to Edit → Preferences → General → Import Settings, set "Import Using" to MP3 Encoder, then select your songs and choose File → Convert → Create MP3 Version. iTunes will keep the original and create an MP3 copy.

On the app side, iTunes for Windows is still available from the Microsoft Store, but Apple has also introduced separate dedicated apps for Apple Music, Apple TV, and Apple Devices on Windows. So iTunes is still around, but Apple is gradually shifting Windows users toward those standalone apps.

So basically, iTunes music mp3 download is no longer available officially!
