Relinquished 06.01.19	long time comin
Zig 06.01.19	iTunes is awful
Trophycase 06.01.19	Unsurprising I guess. "Owning" music (and most media for that matter) certainly seems to be on the decline and replaced with streaming as a service. I'll be having to switch to an open source alternative myself, but thankfully I have physical/digital copies of most everything.
Valzentia 06.01.19	the store isn't closing, the app is being split into 3
zakalwe 06.01.19	I really do like itunes the only fault I have with it is on the rare occasions it divvies up my albums individual songs for no reason.
Drifter 06.01.19	"the store isn't closing, the app is being split into 3" Ok thank god
JDubb 06.01.19	Agreed that iTunes is trash. Amazon and Google music are so much better.
bloc 06.01.19	Who the fuck uses itunes still
onionbubs 06.01.19	i’ve always liked how itunes looked but every time i tried to open that shit it’d like crash my computer so yea fuck it
Ambrosian 06.01.19	Since the last time I used Itunes was around 2014. And the last time I used the Itunes store was 2009 I really don't care
SandwichBubble 06.01.19	So they're retiring the name basically. Truly the end of an era/error. 🥂
Drifter 06.01.19	I love iTunes for exclusive songs/albums/digital only stuff
Nerdurosis 06.01.19	Yeah, I stopped using that garbage years ago. I wouldn't care if they shut it down altogether, really.
anarchistfish 06.01.19	F
ArsMoriendi 06.01.19	Eh... I just use the library itself anyway Never really bought music from the store
gryndstone 06.01.19	i'm not an apple shill so i couldn't give less of a shit
JayEnder 06.01.19	Fuck Apple.
Larkinhill 06.01.19	Am I the only one who almost exclusively buys CDs and occasionally listens to Spotify?
Drifter 06.01.19	I buy cds and use Spotify but I have an iPod so iTunes is hide for that. It could most definitely be improved though
Viriathus 06.01.19	rip itunes store. used to use it all the time as a kid whenever id get gift cards with my presents.
Departures 06.01.19	Meh iTunes, bring back MSN messenger.
Source 06.02.19	probably half of my homework in high school was completed by talking with classmates through msn messenger
EyesWideShut 06.02.19	I still use an Ipod clossic and im a noob.. So what's better that I can use ?
EyesWideShut 06.02.19	For the record I hate Itunes too
bloc 06.02.19	Try Musicbee
theBoneyKing 06.02.19	People are making too big a deal out of this, this is like the softest way they could possibly “get rid” of iTunes, they’re not removing any functionality just renaming and reorganizing it. Apple has said in the past they want to get rid of the store but they’re not doing that quite yet.
SlothcoreSam 06.02.19	Itunes died, for me, when they gave everyone that shitty U2 album.
Doibhin69 06.02.19	Itunes died, for me, when they gave everyone that shitty U2 album [2]
Viriathus 06.02.19	Holy shit I forgot all about that U2 album thing Thanks for reminding me of that lol.
Source 06.02.19	Yeah with the weird album cover
Larkinhill 06.02.19	But now where will we get our U2 albums?
SlothcoreSam 06.02.19	^The thrift store. ^^That album cover was fucked.
Sinternet 06.02.19	i still use itunes because I literally know every shortcut there is and the UI i know like the back of my hand but by god it's awful slow on windows. Any issues other than that I have with that are more due to the universal tagging systems and metadata used for music files. Maybe if it's being seperated into just music it'll be a lot more efficient and streamlined.
deathschool 06.02.19	Good riddance, yeah
alamo 06.02.19	itunes died when charli xcx replaced "doing it" for "doing it (feat. rita ora)"
Doibhin69 06.02.19	U2 hasn't been good since joshua tree and achtung baby
Avagantamos 06.02.19	I just want to keep being able to access my music files and transfer them to my phone through whatever app they end up with
Avagantamos 06.02.19	but maybe I'll just start using MusicBee
Gyromania 06.02.19	lol itunes is a joke
Ambrosian 06.02.19	I left apple when my 160gb Ipod Classic died :'(
Sabrutin 06.02.19	MusicBee [3]
BenThatsMyJamin 06.02.19	So wait can I still upload stuff to my ipod classic or nah? Have fond memories of iTunes, mostly because it facilitated use of that 160GB BEAST - the greatest mp3 player to ever exist
BenThatsMyJamin 06.02.19	Although it was an unnecessary bitch to ever try and transfer your library once you got a new computer
theBoneyKing 06.02.19	Ben, as I understand, for now at least they are not removing any existing functionality, just reorganizing it into a few apps (and optimizing the platform for streaming).
luci 06.02.19	is anything happening to the itunes library or just the store? don't tell me i need to back-up my music
bloc 06.02.19	You should be able to use Musicbee with your ipod yeah. For several years I was using it to transfer songs on my 2nd gen Nano and it worked perfectly. I retired that and now use my Android with no problems.
JeetJeet 06.02.19	#PirateGang
Uzumaki 06.02.19	Meh. Indifferent to this; I still use iTunes, but not the store. I still use an iPod to listen to all my music, but I keep my iTunes libraries on portable hard drives.
Supercoolguy64 06.02.19	#foobar2000gang
Larkinhill 06.02.19	U2 hasn't been good since joshua tree and achtung baby (2)
BenThatsMyJamin 06.02.19	Okay thanks Boney
Gyromania 06.02.19	U2 hasn't been good since war * fixed it for you.
BenThatsMyJamin 06.02.19	*U2 hasn't been good.
Larkinhill 06.02.19	*U2 hasn’t been good Is closer to my opinion as well ha. They have some good earlier songs but, as far as entire albums go, I always had a difficult time listening all the way through.
hobblepot 06.02.19	it's about time tbh, would have thought CD's would die first though
Doibhin69 06.02.19	war isnt even u2's best album
Valzentia 06.04.19	"Meh iTunes, bring back MSN messenger." that shit's been back for ages dawg where have you been
