Well Timmy, that's easy to fix, just push more un-deletable U2 music down to your customers.
To: ImJustAnotherOkie
Yeah, and layoff the rap.

YES - dear God, every time I plug my iPhone into a device, some crappy recent U2 album automatically turns on. I’m guessing it contains subliminal messages Apple wants me to hear!

Huh?
Music has never been better, or more plentiful.
Movie and TV industry should learn from the success of Music.
To: ImJustAnotherOkie
And what, pray tell, does Tim Cook know about “humanity?”

Nice literary reference but really now, can humanity be drained out of music?

Music has never been better, or more plentiful. Certainly the ACCESS to it has never been better.

I couldnt make it through a workout without music, Cook says. I do it several days a week. Maybe Tim is afraid of being alone with his thoughts.
Music is nice during a colonoscopy, though.

Music is so poorly produced these days that you could randomly create a beat, and randomly generate lyrics, put a breathlessly orgasmic 12 year old sounding girl or boy as the computer generated singer, and it would be as much as hit as anything else.
You could play that crap at any “gym” and no one would know the difference.

That's what happens when you divorce music from the source - now it's just virtual digits floating about in the ether.
Put some vinyl Hendrix or Joni Mitchell on the turntable for crying-out-loud.

I agree. In general, the modern method of getting access to music doesn’t thrill me. It seems like a lot of work, it changes from time to time, sometimes I can find what I want, sometimes it disappears. It drives me crazy.
CDs and vinyl are now old technology but I find them very manageable. I tend to listen to a lot of stuff simply because I’ve owned it (really owned it) for 10 or 30 years.
More recent stuff, I get access to on YouTube, which I find manageable. But iTunes? Spotify? Streaming and not owning? I don’t care for it. Which is why the music industry has made almost no money from me for over 10 years.

It is barely usable anymore, I have great difficulty just putting songs on my IPod. iTunes has never been user friendly. It's apps like iTunes that make people say "computers are too complicated".

Music has never been better, or more plentiful. FIFY
The pablum crap (not to mention cRap) that passes for "music" today is an insult to the word. I hear more stealing from classics of the 70s and 80s than original work.
