Itunes replacement app with similar functionality?

[mlbgoat]

I have delayed updating my MBP to the more recent OS because I did not want to lose the ITunes app.

I would like to eventually update...but before I do I want to have some of the same functionality that iTunes had, as it pertains to my own/purchased/ripped from CDs music.

Specifically, I would like to be able to modify songs like we could in iTunes, such as being able to adjust a song length. Example: a song with a long intro, you were able to adjust the start point in a (submenu) to play the song skipping the intro. Or adjust the song length in general...another example (this maybe TMI) but I have some playlists that are parts of songs that have heavy/fast guitar riffs that I use to push through workouts...I’m hoping to find an app to keep this functionality.

Does the Music app allow for the above described functionality?

I have searched the internet hoping to find an app that I could use but cannot find anything specifically addressing this functionality...

I appreciate and assistance given.

Tough job. I'm going through Windows, Raspberry PiOS, and Ubuntu looking for a decent replacement. I've come up empty so far.

Am I the only one out here that needs this type of functionality in the music app?

Does anyone know if the new Music app has the same functions as iTunes?

I am not a fan of iTunes for a long time now. It used to be in its day not only useful but a pleasure to use. I don't have any ideal answer for you but have you checked out something like JRiver? Here is a link that discusses replacements and I gather if there is anything of value it might be just 1 or 2 of the offerings - https://beebom.com/best-itunes-alternatives/

I'm surprised no one mentioned Retroactive. It allows you to install iTunes on the latest OS. It works great!

The Music App is basically iTunes. The features are the same. Minus Podcast, iPhone sync stuff and other non music related stuff which got their own apps.

Yes, the Music app does this. At least in Big Sur, it does.
