The explanation quote: "Just three months ago, the tech giant denied rumours that it was going to stop selling downloads from the iTunes store 'within 2 or 3 years'. However, reports are now coming in that music downloads have already been axed in South Korea, suggesting that a worldwide rollout may be imminent."
- chrisbolt 10y agoLater in the article: > South Korea, the home of K-Pop, is the eighth largest music market in the world. [...] Apple has never launched iTunes in the country, but has taken the plunge with Apple Music. So downloads were 'axed' in a country where they never offered downloads?
- protomyth 10y agoDid not read that right the first time, wtf? Wasn't SK on the list? I am now confused.
- tedunangst 10y agoNobody clicks articles that aren't confusing.
- protomyth 10y agoI blame the end of a problematic day of vendor relations for the misread. [edit] I will say that I don't use Apple Music because software that deletes things from your computer in the background has always bit me in the butt.
