explain why it's dumb?

As someone who has no involvement with Apple, is Apple essentially destroying a service that would allow you to buy and own content, in favor of another service that just gives you streams, and rentals?

you can still use the itunes store in the music app.

btw how will people be able to manage software installs on older devices now?

How do you restore or manage iPhones now?

and you can still buy or rent shows in the tv app.

Not that buying digital files was ever really "owning" them.

Has anyone willingly used iTunes since 2011?

Why would you at this point?

So how would you backup your iPhone without iTunes?

Yeah, but I use it on a mac.

It is shit and this chopping of it is so overdue.

Mac OS 10.15 will support this out of the Finder.

Alternatively, icloud backup

>using fagOS

What if you don't spend thousands on a Mac? Right now, I have an old laptop with Windows specifically for encrypted backups.

Good. iTunes was complete crap and required an IQ of 150 to do simple things like moving an .mp3 to your iPhone. Most convoluted user interface ever invented.

"iTunes will continue to exist in its current state on Window"

You didn't have iTunes.
I had iTunes the last few years.
>hush little baby don't you cry etc. pp

Fine by me, then. I don't pretend to like iTunes, but there's no way I'm using iCloud.

They moved it to finder, which is a better place for it imo.
Not that anyone syncs their iOS devices to their macs anymore

I'm always connected to the internet.
No need for more space.

Not him, but my iPhone 8 is 256GB. I'm currently using 13.3GB.

ass
ass

What's ass about having 256GB of storage and using like 5% of it?

I use it regularly since I don't want to take my fragile and expensive 6" touch screen phone into the gym or carry it in my pocket while running so my 10 year old iPod Nano that weighs next to nothing is perfect for that sort of use.

As a side note it has better audio quality than modern "flagship" Androids. Not sure what I'm going to do once it eventually breaks down.

What does he expect me to say to him? Is he retarded?

Are you?

>I use it regularly since I don't want to take my fragile and expensive 6" touch screen phone into the gym or carry it in my pocket while running
That’s what the Apple Watch is for, dummy

>iTunes
>Own content
Are you retarded?

You can still buy music/movies/TV through their apps.

Through finder which makes more sense.

Through finder, the functionality is literally still there.

Mother fuck this board is retarded. Do 10 seconds of research before you react based on the headline.

Are you? You don't own the music if you buy a CD or cassette either.

It will be handled in finder now

Finder will handle it

can I still download it for windows?

iTunes is the music player, I upload my own pirated songs to the iPod

How will I sync Iphone on windows?

you won't

go buy an android phone if you use windows

I can't unfortunately

this. OP is dumb. apple is just doing what they should have done years ago in de-bloating itunes. having sync in finder, and separate apps for music, podcasts and videos makes complete sense (especially since they removed the built in store last year)

it's not dumb. buying digital music is dumb.
>if you are technically adept; pirate it
>if you're technically inept; use spotify
>if you miss the good ol' days; buy lp/cd

itunes for windows will continue to remain bloated (it still has store unlike the macos counterpart)

I do since I use it for a shit ton of podcasts and I also use an iPod Touch daily. Still using a version of iTunes from like four or five years ago, too.

nigger

>paying for music
>using anything made by apple

All of the music I bought on iTunes years ago is still on my PC despite deleting iTunes years ago.

> not supporting the independent artists who help you to move through the life with their wholesome creations

you, sir, a parasite

Same. Burned all of it to CD's back in the day (I haven't actually bought music from there in about a decade), and it's all backed up on an external drive too. It was just about a year ago actually that I copied it all onto the new hard drive that I put in my laptop.

I didn't even need to burn CDs, the files were all there as .mp3s ready to be copied.

I never said you did. It's the copy you own. With a CD or audio file you have control with your copy becauz you own the copy but not the actual music itself. With Apple downloads you're buying the right to access it. You're paying for access not a copy.

or .m4as, whatever

don't pay for music.
if you want to support a band or whatever, buy literally anything else because less money goes to labels/whoever you bought the music from. band shirt, whatever. people who are like "oh I pay for spotify instead of pirating music to support artists" instantly go to hell for ignorance

What am I supposed to do? I've been using iTunes for the last 13 years.
Do you suggest an alternative?

Still using 12.4 iTunes with album colors. Did they ever bring that back?

How the fuck do I save a backup of my phone now?

Keep using it maybe? The service was LONG overdue its time.
You do know you can still install old software on a computer do you?

mah nigga

I have been using iTunes since forever, even before getting my first iPod touch.

I'm glad is going away and I'm exited about what's to come.

Oh no, they can't make passive income anymore. Fuck off, no one is entitled to make money from recorded music when we can get it for free. A real musician doesn't rely on recordings to make money.

So... how this is gonna work on Windows?
I use iTunes to send porn vids to my iPhone, with VLC.
128GB Xr, using ~30GB
ass.
