I have a 2014 iMac, running Mojave with a Thunderbolt external drive with almost 2TB of ripped songs (AIFF) connected to iTunes. I want to update to Catalina which I know eliminates iTunes and switches to Apple Music. So - I've been looking at iTunes alternatives for my local files, as well as possible hardware alternatives to the endpoints, and a dedicated streamer alternative to using my using my iMac as my streamer. I also subscribe to Apple Music's family plan - so no hi-res music. I currently play then thtough a Cambridge Audio DacMagic Plus to Emotiva powered speakers (my office) I also stream my local library via Airplay (and an Eero mesh wifi throughout the house) to 4 endpoints - two of which are Apple Airports connected to Dacs to either powered speakers, one an Apple TV connected to a soundbar, and one of which is my main audiophile system: Mac MIni connected to a Rega Dac, Triode TRV-35SE tube amp and Joseph Audio Pulsar speakers. Here's what I need some advice on: (and what to prioritize - I have a limited budget.) Thanks! •Best iTunes alternative (Thinking about Audinirvana or Roon) to stream local files •Best for high-res streaming? Tidal? Quboz? Roon? •Best hardware for multi room with local files. I could repurpose that Mac Mini? NAS? Dedicated Streamer? NUC running ROCK •Best alternative over wifi/airplay for endpoints to connect to existing Dacs-amps-speakers.

I have the iTunes Holiday Sampler, which contains about 20 Christmas songs. This was one of the many free offerings that Apple used to offer. While the music files still play as expected, I can’t get the itlp file to open. Did Apple drop support for these types of files?
