So they are getting rid of digital downloads. Terrible news
They are not getting rid of downloads.

I do not appreciate seeing click bait on Lemmy. Please join me in reporting this post as clickbait.
I guess i didn’t express it correctly. I know that music i already purchase could be transfered to apple music but once itunes is dead for music, you could not buy any new music
Again, you are assuming too much.
In the first link I provided:
Buy music from the iTunes Store: If you don’t subscribe to Apple Music and you want to add your favourite songs or albums, you can buy and download music from the iTunes Store. And if you previously purchased items from the iTunes Store, you can download them to your authorised computers and devices (up to 10 total).
This is about the programs, not the services. Apple Music on Mac can also buy music from iTunes despite not being called iTunes anymore.
Super TLDR: iTunes is splitting into three apps on Windows: Devices, TV and Music
Now there three apps I will never need. Good to know.
Three apps not to install instead of just one means more work. Thanks Apple!
I’m actually super down for this. The only thing I use iTunes for is to make encrypted incremental image backups of my phone and iPad. I’d love to just have a specific program for that, rather than all of the iTunes bloat.
As much as I dislike iTunes. Having a one-click encrypted incremental backups is fucking stellar.
If only they could create such an app for Linux. That way I could just ditch my windows virtual machine and not try to create a macOS virtual machine🙏
