OKP is a music nerd site so I know there are tons of people here that could never fully commit to Spotify, Apple Music, Google Play, Amazon Music and Pandora.

We own too much ish that will never be on those apps.

I don't use the iTunes STORE, just the library feature to managed "owned" files. I stopped buying music from iTunes at many, many years ago and I only purchased files there on occassion. Thank God. My go-to for digital music purchases is Google Play and Bandcamp.

"In its place will be three media streaming apps: Apple Music, Apple Podcasts, and Apple TV. In a statement, Apple clarifies that through the Music app, users will continue to “have access to their entire music library, whether they downloaded the songs, purchased them or ripped them from a CD.” The iTunes Music store will still be available." - Pitchfork
