... I still buy CDs. I switched from using iPods/iTunes to just ripping my CDs and putting them on my cell phone a year ago and I have never looked back.

This is sad news. I just did a quick run-through, and I've downloaded over 250 albums from iTunes over the last fifteen years, but I guess so long as I'm not in danger of losing them, that's what matters most.

In other words, they'll charge you for premium service in several apps instead of just one.

I've got you beat- I still buy CDs and I don't rip them. I just put them in my CD player. I buy cassettes, have them dubbed onto 8 tracks which I then rip to CD, before ultimately having them transferred to wax cylinders to play on my Graphophone. Your move. |

Thank god. The desktop version was always a clunky piece of shit to use.

I hire a band to follow me at all times to play all my favourite songs identical to the studio recording. It's very expensive and I'm now in danger of losing my house. |

What happens to people who still use iPods? Depends on if the new apps are compatible with the older versions of iOS those iPods use or if those iPods can update to newer versions of iOS. Though given Apple's propensity towards planned obsolescence, probably not.
That said, it's not like Apple is physically deleting the app off of everyone's devices for those who still uses it. You can likely still keep it on your device as a media player. Just that it won't be supported or updated anymore.

well that sure is smart. i mean why have a one-stop shop for all your needs when you can go to three separate places And while we're at it, why have Bed, Bath, & Beyond when we can have one store for Bed, another for Bath, and another for the Beyond? |

I haven't updated iTunes in like 3 years, but it's where I rip my CDs as I don't download music from any store. It's just an interface to me for all my music. They can do whatever they want, I'm not following them along the way.

I haven't really had many positive experiences with iTunes over the years (mostly iPod touch issues), but sucks to see it go.
