iTunes missing after macOS Monterey update on iMac

I have a iMac late 2015 that has macOS Monterey version 12.7.6. Before I updated my iMac, I had iTunes but after the update my iTunes just disappeared like it don't exist anymore. I got to search for it on app store, it doesn't show up, I go online and there is still iTunes but it won't let me download iTunes to my iMac. I don't know why or how to get it mack on my iMac. I need help on trying to figure out on how to download it back on to my iMac. Any help is greatly appreciated

iMac 21.5″, macOS 12.7

Catalina and above split the functions of iTunes up; use the new applications and the Finder instead.

Make sure that Finder > {Preferences | Settings} has a checkmark next to "CDs, DVDs, and iOS Devices" in the Sidebar tab.
