Up until last year they still sold the ipod. Thing is, they want you to trash your MP3 collection (formerly your CD collection, formerly your LP collection) and buy a subscription to listen to music you already paid for twice before.
My CD collection (all ripped) and some purchased MP3s was pretty big. But, as big as it was, it was only 0.0001% of what’s available streaming. Spotify is great and I’ve found all sorts of music that I never would have found before. The old iTunes Store did a so-so job of recommending new music and the old “Genius” feature could put together some good mixes from your collection, but none of those were as good as what Spotify has done.
I have not listened to any of my old ripped collection in quite a while now.
