Many Windows users rely on iTunes for managing their music library and accessing Apple Music. By default, iTunes stores all your media files—including music, podcasts, and TV shows—in the C:\Users\YourPC\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media folder. If you need more storage space or want to organize your files differently, you can easily change this location.
