With the popularity of Apple Music how long will iTunes last? Instead of paying anywhere from .99 for a single to $9.99 for an album, you can pay $10/month and have everything at your exposure without buying anything else.

Since I got Apple Music, I haven't bought anything on iTunes and that's been over 2 years.

Thoughts?

To answer your question, it's not like they're providing a service. People pay to gain access to a download but I doubt it's still up in the next 2-3 years.

I'm still amazed by the amount of people that choose shitty Pandora or something over Spotify.

I actually know people who have satellite radio!

You don't have access to EVERYTHING they offer fwiw. For some things you still have to purchase off Itunes.

Id much rather own the music permanently than have to stream it until the service goes out.

So, a lot of people have satellite radio. Sometimes I prefer listening to my Sirius channels and sometimes I listen to my music through my phone. It's called having options.

Pandora's stations are far better that Spotify's. I use both.

I listen to this when I'm driving. It keeps me out of a content bubble and is incredibly easy to use. What's the issue?

I bought a lifetime subscription eight years ago for $400. If they went out of business tomorrow I would still have gotten my money's worth.

Big difference between. Amazon music and Amazon Unlimited.

Satellite radio is great when driving long road trips. You don't have to worry about making a bunch of playlists or messing with your phone while driving.

Especially great if you are tired of listening to music and want to listen to talk radio(news, whatever) for a bit as well.

Again...options

If you don't pay for Spotify sometimes you have to listen to whole albums on shuffle, instead of being able to just pick the song. I use Apple Music, but still use iTunes for movies, Tv shows, etc. I don't like Spotify's UI and it was a very easy transition to Apple Music because all my old songs are already in my library

I'm a sucker. I've spent easily upwards of $2,000 on iTunes since it came about. But I prefer to own the music. Not a fan of having to continuously pay for what is essentially temporary access to music.

Who needs all this crap. I just listen to my own digital library (~5 TB of music) No streaming fees, no streaming issues, no lag and or poor quality audio, no one dictating what I can or should listen to, no net neutrality issues, no way Trump can screw with it.
