    There’s still people like me who want to buy digital albums. A lot of artists refuse to put their music on Bandcamp but have music on itunes

      You can 100% continue to purchase content and add to your library. Just because the apps have split (as they already have on Apple’s own platforms), does not mean you can not download purchased content or continue to purchase new content for download.

      Buy music from the iTunes Store If you don’t subscribe to Apple Music and you want to add your favorite songs or albums, you can buy and download music from the iTunes Store. And if you previously purchased items from the iTunes Store, you can download them to your authorized computers and devices (up to 10 total).

      Well, when there’s a service problem, I’d rather sail than ‘buying’ digital.

        I don’t wan to pay for music i don’t own, the free version of Spotify is pretty useless due to the severe limitations, spotify grayed a lot of songs in my playlists because of uncleared samples and I also want to support artists when I can afford it

        Since i’m not paying for streaming services, I can’t download the tracks for offline playback and on Spotify the limit is 10k tracks but my library is over 40k tracks.I also think local players are better than sttreaming services players. My music player Musicolet is the only music player that allows me to create queues so i don’t have to remember the latest track i listened to on every playlists
