Uninstalling iTunes

Simple answer - yes, you can uninstall iTunes without losing your music on your computer; that applies to both PCs and Mac. So if iTunes is playing up you can safely uninstall then download iTunes afresh and that may correct the issue.
Keep in mind if you do you’ll probably lose your playlists along with those low level stats like number of times a track is played, most recently played etc.
There is a compromise step you might want to try. When you go through the uninstall process on a PC you’ll get to a point where you’re given the option to rebuild iTunes. That’s worth trying as it doesn’t destroy all that other data. You can also check for updates to iTunes - if an update is available that’s the same in effect as re-installing but again you keep all that incidental data.
