iTunes done in 2019??

[saxman211]

I just read a couple articles that stated that Apple may phase out iTunes in 2019, meaning no more downloading music and only streaming... I'm an independent artist. When Apple music came out, I lost a lot sales based on it and was forced to take my music down from Apple Music just to keep up my sales. Once I did, my sales went back up. I'm hoping Apple doesn't do this, but part of me feels like it's inevitable... What are your thoughts?

Apple literally denied it. https://9to5mac.com/2017/12/11/apple-phasing-out-itunes-music-downloads-denial/

(I personally wish they would bin iTunes ASAP, however.)

By bin, you mean get rid of it? I don't. I personally don't. Even if I wasn't an independent artist, I don't spend $10 a month on music. I buy music when there's something I want to buy. To have to pay monthly for a collection really sucks.
