There are a lot of humans besides myself that still use Snow Leopard.
And PPC apple products.
and we are upset that software designers in Cupertino
purposely design software to impede our products prior to 2012.
case in point, i cant get an Tv 3 to sync with an iPod from that era as i did in the recent past.
personally i'm not progressing after Mojave and will take my chances rather than suck up to walled-ways.
seems to me the MacBook pro 2012 unibody is a better laptop than the 2012 rMacBook Pro.
I wa going to boot up the spare MacBook air and run Snow leopard today,
hopefully that iTunes still works.
Viva Los Mojavians!
and Snow Leopardites as well!
I had an eMac with Snow Leopard that still ran well when I upgraded in 2011, but the eMac just wasn’t up for what I wanted to do with 3D modelling. I could see still using something old but reliable for basic things, but beyond that I can’t see it.
Reminds me of a customer a couple of years ago who wanted to connect his iPad to his 1974 home stereo system. I wonder if he ever figured out how to do it.

I know it's December, but it does appear that you have Steve Jobs confused with Santa Claus.
I see why you're upset. Because you were promised the latest and greatest software updates for all eternity and now Apple has broken their promises. 😢
we never expected or was promised that,
we just don like the patches or what ever does to falter these drives and software.
everything worked last several years, now they don't?

I don’t mean to sound insensitive, you got at least twelve years out of this. Maybe it’s finally time to move on. Nothing lasts forever especially with computers.
Who still uses iTunes? I left that once I discovered Spotify.
I’m on High Sierra with my 2011 iMac 21.5 so I still use iTunes occasionally. I suspect millions of people still do as well.
what exactly is the issue? if you want to play music files just install vlc on your Mac, the powerpc version of it still works well.
besides you can't expect Apple to support machines that were last made in 2005, 16 years ago.
i still use itunes for my 2006 ipod, 2007 shuffle, 2010 ipod itouch and
whew
everything!
the program is great for album sorting, album art and works great with that iPad remote.
why wouldn't anyone who is not tone-deaf
or wants them s to tell them what to listen ta'
use iTunes?
what i detest about being soulless is iCloud mail not working on my Mountain Lion MacBook air
hey, that is MY email.......

The moment you start to hang on the cloud-drip, you'll have to drink the cool aid of following the juggernaut of never-ending-upgrades that smashes old hard&software that's crossing it's path of destruction planned obsolescense progress.
The list of hard- and software that became doomed by now is just endless ...

EDIT: sorry, I though you post that comment on Jan 9 2023, not 2022 like you actually did! It stopped working again anyway…
Before:
Prove it or it doesn’t work. Pretty much like it actually doesn’t work for me.

10.6.3 is still not connecting to the store, my PowerBook was out of action for a while when did this happen? I spent good money on "buying" albums on iTunes using my powerpc devices but now I can no longer access them on those same devices. I do agree with the earlier comments that this would probably also have happened under Steve Jobs, he wasn't famously sympathetic to users of older Apple devices!
We can't blame anymore for not supporting iTunes 1.BC
because
no company in their right mind would budget time and hours to an obsolete product.
the best I can do I offer an older version somehow, but iTunes sis included in Snow Leopard OSX package.
Honestly, I think you may be on the wrong thread. I know that my 2005 PowerBook G4 is not exactly cutting edge. I do have other computers for the boring day to day stuff. But it was nice to be able to connect to the iTunes store on a 16 year old laptop, most features still work except the log in. I still use my PowerBook because I like it as a piece of design and it gives me pleasure to use it.
I have no issue with using old hardware. Just don't expect software to be updated or even supported anymore. Why should Apple or Microsoft for that matter still support 20 year old hardware.
You should be able to access the music you bought, it's that simple. It's not streaming, that would be another story.
