Not believing this.

Jimmy Iovine is behind this because him and Beats were the ones that started up Apple Music. This makes me really angry.

Me too sis, me too.

The iTunes store reportedly pulls in nearly three times as revenue as Apple Music.

Hmm, I wonder when it'll reverse.

at first this is a bad idea but when I think about it it is an amazing idea. This will help music sales imo especially with illegal downloads but people will still find a way to get the music they want. Imo, every digital retailer should be removed and music streaming sites should be subscribe only.

This is only gonna make people want to illegally download more.

What will ATRL do from now on? No staying perched in kworb's site anymore....

[Sazare]

I'm sure whatever they replace it with will be just as bloated and poorly designed

One of many reasons why Streaming will never and should never take over physical or digital sales. Why can't both coexist?

[Buddy!]

ehhhhhh

[Achilles.]

Welp. I think I'll finish off the iTunes card I have now and then revert to physical albums only.

This would be so ****, though. If you only like one song on an album and iTunes is gone, you're options are (1) buy the full album for one song, (2) use streaming services to listen to that song even though you regularly buy music, (3) illegally download the song, or (4) never listen to the song because you don't want to buy the album, stream, or download.

if they really do this...time to riot

Apple Music is a really ****** streaming service too, ruining artwork and everything.

But why? There are so MANY people, like myself, that don't stream, that refuse to use streaming devices. Tried it, killed my battery. I'd like to go out and about without it killing my battery and using tons of data just to listen to music.. Looks like I'll be illegally downloading every song and album

!!! exactly this. i only buy my music and if they do this.... i'ma literally be forced to illegally download/pirate music. for my faves, i'd have to buy physicals (if they even want to put them out).

i knew some **** like this would happen, but i didn't think it'd happen so soon. this is horrible

[Jonathan Peter]

They better not, I still buy music videos from there

[Poe Dameron]

Y'all should read the article. It's no confirmation, just rumours and stuff

[Almighty Gaga]

This will completely kill sales, illegal consumption will be the main method to consume music, the industry won't be profitable anymore and slowly more and more people will stop considering music as a career.

[MohammadMonster]

lmao idc i've always pirated music

[Kanji]

Poor ATRL lmao

I hope it happens soon

[WalkingOnCharts]

I don't get why they'd bother going to the trouble of removing it

[enxe]

That's not a good idea imo.

[J a y]

[Leptine]

It's not gonna happen.
