I don't post one article a year. But this is the second one today.

iTunes gone?

It's my sole source of downloadable music.

Any suggestions? I'm really ignorant about this stuff.

Thanks

They are just moving to a subscription based Apple Music platform where everything is available 24/7.

Dude, find a radio station you like!
It’s free.
So much is out there, why anyone pays to download music is beyond me.
I’m lucky, grew up with great radio like WABC AM, WPLJ, WLIR, WNEW.
Very Groovy Stuff now on WFUV.
Great stream over the net too.

...iTunes gone?...

Just wait and see what they really do. It sounds like they are just splitting it up into Music, TV and podcasts.

This actually sounds more logical to me than to have all three of these jumbled together. I bet there will be a way to migrate all of the stuff you own. Knowing Apple, it will probably do it automatically.

I guess they have thought of yet another electronic manacle which the public will require in order to be whole.

idiot writers and editors at the NY Post:

"CEO Tim Cook will unveil a spread of new features geared to move the company’s focus away from the iPhone starting Monday at the tech giant’s Worldwide Developers Conference....

...Going forward, three new desktop apps will be unveiled — Music, TV and Podcasts — to house and manage the data. This will match the format already used on iPhones and iPads."

>If this means we get a better way to manage our music than iTunes on the mac (very intuitive, imho), I'm for it.

If this means we lose any ability to manage and listen to music we OWN from other than Apple Store, then Mr. Cook should go F himself.

Amazon MP3. Unprotected so you can make backups.

In terms of sound quality, iTunes is toward the bottom - much lower resolution & dynamics than a normal 16-bit CD.

Seriously doubt it - they have made serious $$$ from iTunes. I would not be surprised if they rebranded it - but getting rid of? Extremely doubtful.

It won’t just ‘go away’, they will either sell it or replace it with something better.................

Ignorant too!

I have a music library, songs I’ve ripped from my CDs (and some from LimeWire days). I hate iTunes. I have 2 iPods.

I want software (other than iTunes) to manage/play music on my computer that will also allow me to load my music on my iPods.

Does it exist?

So am I. What about all the songs (many) that I bought from them?
