RE: apple killing ITunes?
Wow, what a thread filled with speculation, cries of outrage and "Good riddance" messages. I am surprised by how many people are dismayed that eventually iTunes will go away and you may note that I said "will go away" not "might go away". For now Apple said iTunes for Windows stays around while on the Mac it is replaced with these 3 apps for music, podcasts and TV. My surprise is based on the fact that I rarely ever read anybody posting anything good or positive about iTunes, people would go through great length to try and avoid using it because many considered it to be inaccessible or very poorly accessible with a screenreader. At times that was in fact true, but for the most part Apple, Microsoft or Jaws has always fixed whatever could be fixed to make it work better again. But as I said, to me the writing is clearly on the wall and I doubt that in 2 years or maybe less iTunes for Windows will still be around. I am equally sure that there will be apps for Windows similar to those for the Mac to replace it, but I won't even try and speculate, if they are true UWP apps I could definitely see accessibility challenges ahead given the somewhat poor track record of UWP apps regarding accessibility. For those who don't know what UWP apps are, UWP stands for Universal Windows Platform and these are apps you get from the Microsoft Store and nowhere else and they are different from traditional desktop programs. There is, for example, an Audible app from the Microsoft Store which allows you to play your audible books on a PC, you can choose to stream the books or download them (no Audible Download Manager is required) and all in all it's very much like using the Audible app on the iPhone except that the Audible app for iOS is super accessible and the Windows app is not. There are scripts from Doug Lee which help, but even using the touch cursor in Jaws there are things like for example accessing the Settings which I have yet to figure out how to do. I can get into Settings and read the different tabs or categories, but activating them is a different story. When my wife clicked on any of these categories or tabs I could then again navigate them, but it's definitely far from being accessible. As for iOS 13 and the fate of iTunes I think there is no point to speculate, whenever WWDC happens they always announce stuff where they don't necessarily give all the answers this early on, let's wait and see although by now it is clear iTunes for Windows will stay around for now. As for Christopher's reference to our disagreement, I still maintain my position that Apple will not entirely want to alienate their Windows customers by completely dropping support for the platform. I didn't listen to the keynote yet, but there was talk that for the iPad Apple may make it much easier to connect external USB devices such as thumb drives or external hard drives and to access their content and speculation was whether such a feature will come to the iPhone. I don't know if the new iPad OS offers easy and native access to content on external devices, but if it does I think it again is just a matter of another year or two before iOS will follow. Given dwindling sales numbers for the iPhone Apple will be actually more concerned to be compatible with other platforms including Windows and Android.

Janet Apple is killing off iTunes, reports say By Chris Ciaccia | Fox News Fox News Flash top headlines for June 3 Just a few months after it became an adult, Apple is killing off one of its most controversial creations. Launched January 9, 2001, the tech giant is set to end its music and movie media player, iTunes, according to Bloomberg. The move, which will be announced at Apple's developer conference, had been widely expected, given the rise of streaming services, including Apple Music and its soon-to-be-launched Apple TV+. The brainchild of Steve Jobs, iTunes ushered in an era where it made it easy to access music legally. Users could pay as little as 99 cents for a song or a similar amount for an episode of a TV show or movie, but it had outlived its usefulness. Over the past several years, there were a seemingly endless string of complaints from users about its cluttered nature, the amount of computing power it took to run the program and other concerns. APPLE WWDC PREVIEW: HERE'S THE NEW STUFF THAT'S COMING To replace iTunes, Apple will launch three new apps for the Mac, Music, TV and Podcasts, bringing it in line with Apple's strategy for iOS devices, which already have dedicated Music, TV and Podcast apps. Apple has already wiped the iTunes' social networking accounts clean. Both the Instagram and the Facebook page still exist, but all the posts have been deleted. As Apple looks to smooth out its revenue and focus more on services, it has turned the focus towards initiatives such as Apple Music, which has more than 50 million paying subscribers and lets users access more than 45 million songs for $9.99 a month. In addition to getting rid of iTunes, Apple will announce several new upda

Re: apple killing ITunes?
I wonder what will happen to itunes for windows? From: janet gross Sent: Monday, June 3, 2019 12:29 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: apple killing ITunes? Hi, Here is some information that might be helpful. I either heard about Apple whiping out iTunes on the radio, or maybe I got it in an Apple news letter, so I Googled this. Janet Apple is killing off iTunes, reports say By Chris Ciaccia | Fox News Fox News Flash top headlines for June 3 Just a few months after it became an adult, Apple is killing off one of its most controversial creations. Launched January 9, 2001, the tech giant is set to end its music and movie media player, iTunes, according to Bloomberg. The move, which will be announced at Apple's developer conference, had been widely expected, given the rise of streaming services, including Apple Music and its soon-to-be-launched Apple TV+. The brainchild of Steve Jobs, iTunes ushered in an era where it made it easy to access music legally. Users could pay as little as 99 cents for a song or a similar amount for an episode of a TV show or movie, but it had outlived its usefulness. Over the past several years, there were a seemingly endless string of complaints from users about its cluttered nature, the amount of computing power it took to run the program and other concerns. APPLE WWDC PREVIEW: HERE'S THE NEW STUFF THAT'S COMING To replace iTunes, Apple will launch three new apps for the Mac, Music, TV and Podcasts, bringing it in line with Apple's strategy for iOS devices, which already have dedicated Music, TV and Podcast apps. Apple has already wiped the iTunes' social networking accounts clean. Both the Instagram and the Facebook page still exist, but all the posts have been deleted. As Apple looks to smooth out its revenue and focus more on services, it has turned the focus towards initiatives such as Apple Music, which has more than 50 million paying subscribers and lets users access more than 45 million songs for $9.99 a month. In addition to getting rid of iTunes, Apple will announce several new updates to its operating systems, including iOS, macOS and watchOS. New health features are expected to be incorporated into iOS and watchOS, including a revamped Health app that will let users know how loud they are listening to music or movies on their device or headphones. Apple’s mobile operating system is tipped to add dark mode, easing the strain on users' eyes and increasing battery life. Cupertino, Calif.-based Apple will make these announcements and more when its keynote address starts at 1 p.m. EST.

Re: apple killing ITunes?
I agree. Let's not predict doom and gloom for Windows users. The truth is that Apple hasn't said yet, and that will be the end of story for now, accept it or not. If iTunes will be in self destruct mode for Windows users, we'll have plenty of time to come to terms with that, probably months. If it happens, there will probably be multiple programs and apps to take its place. Apple will let us know if/when, and not before then.

Somebody on another list claims that nothing is going to change on the window side. But I don’t necessarily know where they got that. As for the encrypted backup, I quit using it when they added all the stuff to iCloud that used to be only in the encrypted backup. That plus the fact that you couldn’t back up all apps anymore was enough to make iTunes more less useless for any sort of phone back up for me. What I want to know is what happens with iTunes match? I have a lot of music in the cloud that I ripped for my own CDs and was matched in iTunes match. Some of that music is not on the Apple Music store or music service I should say. And they’re telling me my match subscription is up for renewal this month. Are they going to take my 25 bucks and then kill it? I wonder how I find that out, and what happens to all that music that I owned and ripped and now lives on an old Mac and in my music library in the cloud through match.

Re: apple killing ITunes?
I don't know, but unfortunately you were relying on icloud and apple to take care of all of that. As a professional and owner of alldigital audio www.alldigitalaudio.com we'd never would relie on out of house solutions because any of them could change at any time. The recomendation is to keep your own backups in a safe place, at least 2 copies of everything, besides having your collection stored on something like icloud. - Original Message - From: Mary Otten To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Monday, June 03, 2019 5:53 PM Subject: Re: apple killing ITunes? Somebody on another list claims that nothing is going to change on the window side. But I don’t necessarily know where they got that. As for the encrypted backup, I quit using it when they added all the stuff to iCloud that used to be only in the encrypted backup. That plus the fact that you couldn’t back up all apps anymore was enough to make iTunes more less useless for any sort of phone back up for me. What I want to know is what happens with iTunes match? I have a lot of music in the cloud that I ripped for my own CDs and was matched in iTunes match. Some of that music is not on the Apple Music store or music service I should say. And they’re telling me my match subscription is up for renewal this month. Are they going to take my 25 bucks and then kill it? I wonder how I find that out, and what happens to all that music that I owned and ripped and now lives on an old Mac and in my music library in the cloud through match.

I also wonder if you will only be able to back up your device to icloud now, taking away the encrypted backup option to your computer. As well as being only able to update your device over wi-fi. My only thought is that they might incorporate the backup option into the icloud program that you can install on a windows computer. Now this is just a thought, I have not heard anything confirming this. One thing is for sure, there is a lot of unanswered questions.

I think it’s ridiculous to speculate when we don’t know what they’re doing. They’re supposedly is an update for iTunes for windows, although I haven’t got it yet.

Re: apple killing ITunes?
Folks, Apple is not going to kill of a program without providing an equal replacement. Here is what we know has been done: Apple has split what was iTunes for Mac, and only Mac right now, into Music, Podcasts, and TV. From what I understand, iTunes for Windows received an update today for its users to support the new betas, and it can still be downloaded from https://support.apple.com/downloads/itunes <https://support.apple.com/downloads/itunes> Even on the Mac, radio is not at all gone. It is still in the music app. Aleeha > On Jun 3, 2019, at 8:17 PM, Tim Leet wrote: > > Yes, my wife heard the same thing I really hope that’s not the case because > we use it on the computer to back up or iPhone and especially voice dream > reader.

Re: apple killing ITunes?
If that’s true, that could backfire on Apple. Mac computers are expensive. Why would people who use Windows switch to a Mac when they can switch to an Android phone and use it with their Windows computer? Some Apple fanboys will, but the average person just wants computers and phones to use for work and entertainment at an affordable price.

RE: apple killing ITunes?
Hello All, Personally I don't think Apple gives a fly about Windows, and let's face it, we can't blame them for that. As far as losing sales from Apple music subscribers or iPhones, I doubt that very much. I am an Apple music subscriber, as well as a iPhone user. I won't give up the Apple music just because of Apple killing iTunes. Although, I won't think of purchasing a Mac though. I've been seriously considering purchasing a Mini iPad, but I figure I can use my iPhone as long as I have a Bluetooth keyboard, so I really don't need an iPad, but then again, I think it really all depends what one might be using the iPhone or iPad for. I will more than likely stick with Windows, and purchase a Windows laptop. I don't know what Sieghard said about this though, but I think time will prove you wrong! Smile!

Re: apple killing ITunes?
Somebody on another list claims that nothing is going to change on the window side. But I don’t necessarily know where they got that. As for the encrypted backup, I quit using it when they added all the stuff to iCloud that used to be only in the encrypted backup. That plus the fact that you couldn’t back up all apps anymore was enough to make iTunes more less useless for any sort of phone back up for me. What I want to know is what happens with iTunes match? I have a lot of music in the cloud that I ripped for my own CDs and was matched in iTunes match. Some of that music is not on the Apple Music store or music service I should say. And they’re telling me my match subscription is up for renewal this month. Are they going to take my 25 bucks and then kill it? I wonder how I find that out, and what happens to all that music that I owned and ripped and now lives on an old Mac and in my music library in the cloud through match.

Re: apple killing ITunes?
Since they were specific about the Mac, and stated that this had already pretty much been done in iOS, I'm sure the change will also occur in windows. You'll probably buy ring tons through the App Store or through the Music app, but probably the app store. What will probably be gone is the ability to rip CD's which Itunes does now but it makes no monehy for Apple. On 6/3/19, Andy Baracco wrote: > From my understanding, Apple is killing iTunes.

Re: apple killing ITunes?
>From apple.com <https://www.apple.com/macos/catalina-preview/> iTunes forever changed the way people experienced music, movies, TV shows, and podcasts. It all changes again with three all-new, dedicated apps — Music, Apple TV, and Apple Podcasts — each designed from the ground up to be the best way to enjoy entertainment on your Mac. And rest assured; everything you had in your iTunes library is still accessible in each app. iCloud seamlessly syncs everything across your devices — or you can back up, restore, and sync by connecting the device directly to your Mac. Admittedly this is silent on Windows, but it seems most likely that the one itunes app will be replaced with 3 separate ones ... perhaps a 4th for backup.

Janet Apple is killing off iTunes, reports say By Chris Ciaccia | Fox News Fox News Flash top headlines for June 3 Just a few months after it became an adult, Apple is killing off one of its most controversial creations. Launched January 9, 2001, the tech giant is set to end its music and movie media player, iTunes, according to Bloomberg. The move, which will be announced at Apple's developer conference, had been widely expected, given the rise of streaming services, including Apple Music and its soon-to-be-launched Apple TV+. The brainchild of Steve Jobs, iTunes ushered in an era where it made it easy to access music legally. Users could pay as little as 99 cents for a song or a similar amount for an episode of a TV show or movie, but it had outlived its usefulness. Over the past several years, there were a seemingly endless string of complaints from users about its cluttered nature, the amount of computing power it took to run the program and other concerns. APPLE WWDC PREVIEW: HERE'S THE NEW STUFF THAT'S COMING To replace iTunes, Apple will launch three new apps for the Mac, Music, TV and Podcasts, bringing it in line with Apple's strategy for iOS devices, which already have dedicated Music, TV and Podcast apps. Apple has already wiped the iTunes' social networking accounts clean. Both the Instagram and the Facebook page still exist, but all the posts have been deleted. As Apple looks to smooth out its revenue and focus more on services, it has turned the focus towards initiatives such as Apple Music, which has more than 50 million paying subscribers and lets users access more than 45 million songs for $9.99 a month. In addition to getting rid of iTunes, Apple will announce several new updates to its operating systems, including iOS, macOS and watchOS. New health features are expected to be incorporated into iOS and watchOS, including a revamped Health app that will let users know how loud they are listening to music or movies on their device or headphones. Apple’s mobile operating system is tipped to add dark mode, easing the strain on users' eyes and increasing battery life. Cupertino, Calif.-based Apple will make these announcements and more when its keynote address starts at 1 p.m. EST.

Re: apple killing ITunes?
At this morning’s keynote, they said they were splitting it into three apps, music, Podcasts, and the TV app. This was in the context of iTunes for Mac. If they said something about windows, I didn’t see it or hear it. Also not sure what happens to iTunes match, for people like me who have music up in the cloud that is not part of Apple Music, but was written into iTunes along time ago.
