Apple is now giving iTunes its latest push toward the grave.
It's time to bid farewell to iTunes, the once-revolutionary program that made online music sales mainstream and effectively blunted the impact of piracy.
Sidelining the all-in-one iTunes in favor of separate apps for music, video and other services will let Apple build features for specific types of media and better promote its TV-streaming and music services to help offset slowing sales of iPhones. Apple launched its iTunes Music Store in 2003, two years after the iPod's debut. With simple pricing at launch — 99 cents a single, $9.99 for most albums — many consumers were content to buy music legally rather than seek out sketchy sites for pirated downloads.
Titus said he uses iTunes only to hear obscure Kanye West songs he can't find streaming."At the time it seemed great," he said."But it kind of stayed that same speed forever." Rachel Shpringer, a 35-year-old patent agent in Los Angeles, spent years curating playlists on iTunes. But over time, she realized that was cutting her off from new music. She now gets music through a SiriusXM subscription.
