iTunes for Windows: Install plug-ins

Install plug-ins

Other manufacturers make software, called plug-ins, that you can use with iTunes. For example, you can get plug-ins that offer other visual effects.

Make sure any plug-in you install is designed for Windows, not a Mac computer.

Install plug-ins in Windows 8 or Windows 7

  • Install a plug-in for all users of the computer: Drag the plug-in to:

    C:\Program Files\iTunes\Plug-ins

    If the iTunes and iTunes Plug-ins folders don’t exist, you can create them.

  • Install a plug-in for a specific user: Drag the plug-in to:

    C:\Users\username\App Data\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes Plug-ins\

If you want to create iTunes plug-ins, you can obtain a development kit at the Apple Developer website.
