My first reaction to this announcement is disappointment and "well, it was only a matter of time". I'm going to miss the OneDrive integration which lets you stream whatever music you have in OneDrive. I'll also miss the app itself, although maybe I'm alone there being one of seemingly few that enjoys UWP apps. Granted, Spotify recently released an app for the Windows Store [1], but it's not a UWP app. Rather it's just their regular desktop app packaged up for the Store with Project Centennial.

The Groove/ music app appears to be staying. It will still support playing music from OneDrive and local files (apparently the iOS/ Android apps won't be going anywhere either). The things that are going away after Dec. 31st are the streaming service and music store (i.e. purchasing albums/ individual tracks). You won't be able to download any music from the store after Dec. 31st.
