    Anyone still sync with iTunes?

    Just out of curiosity, I'm wondering how many people out there still sync their music through iTunes rather than using something like iTunes Match or Apple Music? I'm including a poll to get a general idea of how people sync their personal music libraries.

    Apple Music & iTunes Match/iCloud

    I currently have Apple Music & iTunes Match. I'm thinking of cancelling Apple Music, do I need to download all the music I've saved from Apple Music to keep it, as I have iTunes match? Or does it simply just need to be in my library to keep it after my Apple Music subscription ends?

    Hello there, I have this custom setup of iTunes: I downloaded all tracks from iTunes Match, plus have a few others that weren't matched, all residing on the local hard drive. Since this took too much space and I intend to cancel iTunes Match next year anyway (rumors of Apple cutting off...
