Apple will shut down iTunes: report

[TEH]

whatchu young whippersnappers know about Napster, IIRC, newsgroups to get "Free music",. Everyone is streaming.... life is so much easier. Spend $10 a month or spend hours trying to find that obscure Styles P Rock the boat, rock the boat

They shut most of those torrent sites down

That was the good old days

Downloading and music ownership is for real fans

Streaming is for casuals

Vinyl & FLAC is for real fans

I want that mortal kombat repress

gonna cop the nicki minaj vinyl next pay day

Software was clumsy as fukk back in the early days.

Won't cave into the stream theme.



Told my dad I'm investing in a supercar and he told me to lease it.



Even if it makes sense... it doesn't feel right.



Like to be in control of things in my life...



I just like to own my shiit.




Still use I-Tunes daily, as a matter of fact, as I'm posting now... and every song on there is downloaded from one source or another. But i own EVERY SINGLE TRACK/ALBUM.




Streaming is so fukkin' lazy and i hate that it's the norm but that's just the sign of the times.

Kinda odd that the iPod is coming back but iTunes is getting bushed

 

[JackRoss]

End of the downloading era.

The streaming era has taken over

They just moving the iTunes features over to the Apple Music app. Instead of downloading the iTunes exe that has everything you will have to download 3 different apps.

iTunes =/= Buying muisc

The company is reportedly planning on replacing iTunes – the application consumers have used to download music, movies and more – with three separate apps: Music, TV and Podcasts.

Apple to shut down iTunes: report

The move, which has been rumored for years now, will align Apple’s media strategy across the board: iPhones and iPads already offer separate Music, TV and Podcast apps in lieu of the centralized iTunes app that lives on Macs and Macbooks. Users can expect the new Music app to offer some of the same functionalities that iTunes currently does — such as purchasing songs and syncing phones — just with a sleeker interface that’s free of the outdated and oft-bemoaned features of the heritage product, and more closely bundled with streaming service Apple Music.

Apple Is Finally Killing iTunes

 

[ThaBronxBully]

Absolute bullshyt

They don't want you to own shyt

It's the exact same reason they discontinued the ipod classic

Everyone Hated iTunes And iPods Became Irrelevant Once Phones Started Holding Music

Nothing Is Stopping You From Buying Music

Y’all Love To Sensationalize shyt To Keep The Running Narrative That Apple Is Evil


ITunes & iPods 2 Past Its Prime No Longer Relevant Ways To Listen To Music They’re Moving On From, That’s All This Is

 

[Thatrogueassdiaz]

How is this gonna work with them releasing those new iPods?

 

[Address_Unknown]

Been out the apple ecosystem since they started iPod touches way back when but good riddance to that resource hogging, Nazi synching program.​

Speak for yourself

Just because you're not tech savvy and you defer to monopolistic companies to tell you when you should stop using perfectly usable/functional devices, that doesnt mean that we all share your problem

I own 2 fully functional 160 gig gen 8 iPods each with 22,000 songs on them. I keep my iTunes perfectly organized and have been doing so for literally 19 years

I walk around with 22,000 songs in my pocket at all times(many of them are not available on any streaming sites)

But keep continuing to pay monthly for the right to listen to the same songs because apple tells you to

You're so so ahead of the game breh
