I didn’t expect Apple to use their resources on non-Mac apps.
Then you haven’t been paying attention. They’ve supported iTunes quite well on Windows for decades and iCloud for as long as it’s been around. Hell, Apple Music has a better Android UX than YouTube Music does.

That’s a pretty low bar to jump.
Oh, it absolutely is.
Especially with that Fischer-Price “Material You” trash that ruined years of work on making the interface more subdue and classy enough
According to this support article, they are still allowing downloads

That’s only for music you already bought just like Google did with Youtube music when they killed Google Play Music
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).
So they are getting rid of digital downloads. Terrible news
They are not getting rid of downloads.

I do not appreciate seeing click bait on Lemmy. Please join me in reporting this post as clickbait.
I guess i didn’t express it correctly. I know that music i already purchase could be transfered to apple music but once itunes is dead for music, you could not buy any new music
Again, you are assuming too much.
In the first link I provided:
Buy music from the iTunes Store: If you don’t subscribe to Apple Music and you want to add your favourite 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 authorised computers and devices (up to 10 total).
Found iTunes impossible to uninstall back in the Win7 days and never used it since. Also Spotify exists and is still acceptable enough to use so…
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
