Good riddance. iTunes went from one of my favorite music players, to an app I loathe to use every day at work just to listen to my Apple Music subscription.
Admittedly I don't find iOS' Music app that much better, so I'm pretty wary of iTunes' upcoming replacement.
- I'm all-in the Apple ecosystem (iPhone, Watch, ATV4K, Airport Express). So are my family members.
- I'm on a family plan so $15/4 is a price that can't be beat. I do not live with the family members I share the plan with. This is relevant because:
- I actually had a friend share their Spotify Family plan with me and Spotify insisted I prove I lived in the same address! Apple doesn't ask for anything beyond linking Apple IDs to a family.
- The actual service/catalog provided by AM is fantastic, but overall I'm very unsatisfied with the UX of Apple's music apps.
